Chandra Grahan (Lunar Eclipse) – 3 March 2026
Starts (partial/penumbral contacts before moonrise): 14:29 local time (not visible yet before moonrise)
Time and Date
Moonrise in Nepal: 18:04–18:06 local time (Moon rises already in eclipse phase)

Eclipse visible after moonrise:
Best visible / maximum eclipse: ~18:06 local time (peak while Moon above horizon)
Time and Date
Eclipse still ongoing: until 20:08 local time (when eclipse phases end as the Moon is higher)
Time and Date

What this means for Nepal:
Because the Moon rises at 6:04–6:06 PM, you will see the eclipse as soon as the Moon comes up. At that moment and shortly after, the Moon will still be partially or totally eclipsed, so you get to watch the Moon rising already in eclipse.

🌑 Tips for viewing
🌙 No special glasses needed — unlike solar eclipses, you can look at a lunar eclipse with the naked eye.
🔭 Binoculars or a small telescope will make the reddish “Blood Moon” coloring more impressive.

Eta Aquarid Meteor Shower will be at its peaks tomorrow morning. View of these meteors can be seen toward the eastern half of the sky during the last couple of hours prior to dawn Wednesday, May 6 at 3:45 onwards before sunrise
Remnants from Halley’s comet are circling the solar system, often far from the comet, and encounter the Earth twice each year in the form of meteors from the eta Aquariids of May and the Orionids of October. So while we cannot view the comet itself, we can see bits of ice and dust it has left behind over the past few millennia.

Meteor showers on Earth are caused by streams of meteoroids hitting our atmosphere. These meteoroids are sand- and pebble-sized bits of rock that were once released from their parent comet.

A large and "potentially hazardous" asteroid is poised to fly by Earth next month, but don't worry — it poses no threat to Earth.
Asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2 will make a close approach to Earth on April 29. The hefty space rock has an estimated diameter of 1.1 to 2.5 miles (1.8 to 4.1 kilometers), or about the width of the isle of Manhattan.
While an asteroid that size could wreak havoc if it crashed into Earth — prompting some alarmist and misinformed media reports — this asteroid poses no threat.At its closest approach, which will happen at about 5:56 a.m. EDT (0956 GMT), asteroid 1998 OR2 will be 3.9 million miles (6.3 million km) from Earth. That's more than 16 times the average distance between Earth and the moon.

NASA has classified asteroid 1998 OR2 as "potentially hazardous" not because it puts Earth in danger, but because it fulfills certain criteria in the agency's classification scheme. According to NASA, an asteroid qualifies as "potentially hazardous" if its orbit ever intersects Earth's orbit at a distance less than 4.6 million miles (7.5 million km), or 0.05 astronomical units, the average distance between Earth and the sun.
Asteroid 1998 OR2, which orbits the sun in between the orbits of Earth and Mars, won't fly by Earth again until May 18, 2031, and it will be farther away, passing about 12 million miles (19 million km) from our planet, according to NASA.

Its next two flybys, in 2048 and 2062, will be even farther away. The closest flyby of asteroid 1998 OR2 for the foreseeable future will be on April 16, 2079, when it will be only 1.1 million miles (1.8 million km) away.

NASA and its international partners are actively scanning the skies for potentially hazardous asteroids and studying ways to deflect an Earth-bound asteroid before it strikes. So far, about one-third of the 25,000 large asteroids thought to be zooming around in Earth's cosmic neighborhood have been discovered.

Everything in this world is temporary even pain and sorrow.....

3 lakh kilometers far from our planet looks simply fab before 3 days to this year closest approach to earth........
