This Friday will be one of the most anticipated phenomena of the year in the world. The day the earth will be aligned between the sun and the moon which is in its full phase forming a lunar eclipse that will last about 102 minutes.
Santiago Rojas, astrophysicist and professor of the Astronomical Observatory of the National University, in dialogue with RCN Radio, explains why this eclipse is considered one of the most important of the 21st century: " S The atmosphere of the Earth changes so it can change the tone of the red, it means that if the moon is seen with a darker red it means a more polluted atmosphere if that is the case. is a more intense red it means that it is a cleaner atmosphere ]
And even though in Colombia will not be able to observe this phenomenon there is some options for Colombians to enjoy.
One of them is through applications on mobile devices that will transmit the eclipse in real time.For example, thanks to [19659005] Eclipse Calculator you will be able to know the data The exact phenomenon includes information on planetary transits and visibility maps.
Another available option is Star Walk 2 in which you can identify in which exact location the constellations and the stars are located by just putting the device in the sky to have the feeling of being in a real planetarium.
Also, one of the most popular applications is that of NASA Visualization Explorer a tool developed by the US space agency itself for its users to enjoy in real time from the fleet of spaceships what the agency counts. In the same way, you can observe the various missions and the latest discoveries of the universe .
In addition, some of the country's planetariums will have special programming to take advantage of the space phenomenon.
In Medellín and Barranquilla citizens will be able to observe the eclipse by means of telescopes that will be available in the planetariums of each city with free entrance.
The longest lunar eclipse of the century will not be visible in Colombia, but at the Planetarium, we will also benefit! ?
