(Masrawy):
If you look at the sky Sunday night and the sky is clear, you may be able to witness the total eclipse of the giant bloody wolf moon across the United States.
According to Sky News, the total eclipse will begin a few minutes before midnight on the east coast of the United States (5:00 GMT) and before 9:00 pm on the west coast, a day before the Memorial Day of Martin Luther King Jr., a National Day of Americans.
This means that many people interested in stargazing can look late or participate in one of the many concerts held from Florida to Oregon.
The total eclipse lasts about an hour and will be better seen in the Americas, according to National Geographic magazine.
"This time, it's particularly good, not just because there's a giant moon and a total eclipse, but because the total eclipse lasts a long time, about an hour," said Patrick Harrigan, astrophysicist at Rice University.
The event, which also includes a partial eclipse before and after the total eclipse, lasts three and a half hours.
If the sky is clear, the total eclipse will appear in North and South America, as well as in Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, Great Britain, Norway, Sweden, Portugal and on the French and Spanish coasts.
The rest of Europe, as well as Africa, will have partial vision before the arrival of the moon.
In some places, the phenomenon will be broadcast live, including at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles.
The total eclipses of the moon occur when the moon lends itself to the sun and the earth, giving it a red or red color.
The total eclipse of the moon coincides with the occurrence of the moon at the closest distance to Earth or the so-called giant moon, where the size of the virtual diameter and illumination will be greater than that of most of the other moon.
The giant moon occurs when the moon is close to Earth and the moon wolf is the traditional name of the moon completed for January, when the howling wolves helped determine the winter.
