2026 Eclipses: Four Celestial Events, Only One Visible in India

• Four eclipses will occur in 2026: two solar and two lunar.
• Only one eclipse, a lunar eclipse on March 3, 2026, will be visible in India.
• The March 3 lunar eclipse will be visible across Asia, Australia, and the Americas, lasting 58 minutes and appearing as a 'Blood Moon'.
• Other eclipses (Feb 17 solar, Aug 12 solar, Aug 28 lunar) will not be visible from India, thus their Sutak period will not be valid.
• The March 3 lunar eclipse is the last total lunar eclipse before 2029.

Why It Matters: Out of four eclipses in 2026, only the March 3 lunar eclipse will be visible in India.
