MEXICO CITY.
The longest eclipse of the XXI century, with a total of 102 minutes, it will be possible to observe the next July 27 and the Institute of Astrophysics ] Canary Islands (IAC, in the Spanish archipelago in the Atlantic) will transmit it live from Namibia through the channel The live broadcast of this total lunar eclipse will be done in collaboration with the European project STARS4ALL and HESS High Energy observatory reported today the IAC by means of a communique
The Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth's satellite pbades through the Earth's shadow, which does not happen every month, because the moon's orbit is inclined relative to the Earth-Sun (ecliptic) .
Unlike solar eclipses the moles are visible from anywhere in the world, once the moon is above the horizon in the moment of the eclipse , explained the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands.
On July 27 of this year there will be a total lunar eclipse with the maximum centered in the Indian Ocean, according to data provided by NASA
The entire phase of The eclipse will last 1 hour and 42 minutes which will be the longest of the 21st century, started at 19:30 GMT and the Moon will begin to eclipse (entry into the Earth's shadow) at 18:24 GMT
to the longest total lunar eclipse of the century
It can be seen from South America, Europe, Africa, Africa, Asia and Oceania, and we can see that the Moon does not disappear ] but it acquires a reddish hue
The atmosphere of the Earth, which extends about 80 kilometers beyond the diameter of our planet, acts as a lens that diverts sunlight.
At the same time, it effectively filters its blue components and lets only the red light that will be reflected by the satellite. Thus, the moon acquires the characteristic coppery radiance, adds the IAC.
After two years without total eclipses of the Moon in Europe on July 27, the Red Moon can be reviewed, and another six months will be waiting. to repeat the experiment, in January 2019, comments in the statement Miquel Serra-Ricart, astronomer of the IAC
He added that in the show that will be made of Namibia the darkness produced by The eclipse will reveal objects only visible from the southern sky, such as Magellan's clouds.
