This Friday, there is 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 explained why this eclipse is described as one of the most important of the XXI century: " S i the atmosphere of the earth change so it can change the tone of the red, it means that if the moon is seen with a darker red means a more polluted atmosphere if this 39; is a more intense red that means it is a cleaner atmosphere "
And although in Colombia can not observe this phenomenon there are some options for that Colombians can enjoy it.
One of them is through applications on mobile devices that will transmit eclipse in real time. For example, thanks to Eclipse Calculator you will be able to know the exact data of the phenomenon which 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! ?
Tomorrow Friday, from 13h to 16h30, we will see the transmission of this event. Our astronomers will comment on the phenomenon and answer your questions.
