Here you can see the longest lunar eclipse of the 21st century

CITY OF MEXICO .- The lunar eclipse The longest of the 21st century, with a total of 102 minutes, can be observed on July 27 and Institute of Astrophysics from Canarias (IAC, in the Spanish archipelago in the Atlantic) will transmit it live from Namibia through the sky-live.tv channel.

The live broadcast of this total eclipse of Luna be realized with the collaboration of the European project STARS4ALL and the High Energy Observatory HESS reported today. Iac the IAC by means of a press release.

Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth 's satellite pbades through the Earth' s shadow, which does not happen every month, because the orbit of the Moon is inclined to that of the Earth-Sun (ecliptic).

Unlike solar eclipses the moles are visible from anywhere in the world, once the moon is on the horizon at the time of the eclipse, explained the l & # 39; 39, 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 7:30 pm GMT and the moon will begin to eclipse (enter the scene). Earth's shadow) at 1824 GMT

It can be seen from South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania, and during all this time it will be possible to verify the Moon does not disappear from sight but acquires a reddish hue

The atmosphere of the Earth, which extends about 80 kilometers to beyond the diameter of our planet, acts as a lens that diverts sunlight.

At the same time, it effectively filters its blue components and transmits 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 have to wait. to repeat the experience, 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, like the Magellanic clouds.
