Due to the Lunar Eclipse,30 pm in the evening.

Asia, Australia, America and the Pacific will see a total lunar eclipse on November 8, 2022. This will be the second lunar eclipse in 2022 and the last of all eclipses in the year. The world can see the next total lunar eclipse only on March 14, 2025.
