There are no less than two spectacular events in one day, with the starry sky in July: the moon does not appear. is more visible, even unusually long, Mars is as close to Earth as ever. That's what the sun, the moon and the stars will do next month.
There are two exceptional astronomical events in July: the longest total lunar eclipse of the 21st century will take place on July 27th. The same day, the Earth overtakes the reddish Mars, causing an extreme approach to our neighboring outer planet. Mars becomes a striking bright star visible throughout the night.
The full moon phase takes place on the 27th at 22:20 in the constellation Capricorn. On this day, the moon reaches its lowest point in the morning. It separates then 406 220 kilometers of us. That's why you see the smallest full moon of the year in the evening. At 20:24, the moon enters the shadow of the earth. It remains entirely there from 21:30 to 23:14
One hour and 44 minutes of lunar eclipse
With an hour and 44 minutes of total duration, it is the longest lunar eclipse of the 21st century. It is only surpbaded by the lunar eclipse of June 9, 2123, all of which lasts two minutes longer. In addition, the total lunar eclipse of July 16, 2000 was three minutes longer than this year, in terms of total phase. It was the last in the 20th century to end on December 31, 2000.
The exit of the moon from the shadow of the earth at 0.19 o'clock essentially ends the visible part of the darkness. The full moon is the 27th in Germany only after the beginning of the lunar eclipse. Moonrise occurs in Berlin at 8:58 pm, Hamburg at 9:17 pm, Cologne at 9:18 pm, Leipzig at 8:57 pm and Munich also at 8:57 pm
A little south of the full moon eclipsed in a red light, Mars, which is on the 27th. facing the sun on the earthly firmament. The astronomer is talking about opposition position. Due to the distant position of Mars in the constellation Capricorn, the atmosphere of the Earth provides an additional red coloring – similar to the sun and the moon appear discolored up and down
Distance from Mars "only "57.6 million kilometers
The elliptical orbits of the Earth and Mars will reach the shortest distance as of July 31st. On this day, the distance from Mars is only 57.6 million kilometers. This corresponds to about one-third of the Earth-Sun distance. Closer yet Mars arrived at the end of August 2003 with only 55.8 million kilometers. It is only on September 15, 2035 that the red planet will return to the extreme Earth with 56.9 million kilometers.
From the beginning of the month to the end of July, swamps increase sharply. Mars becomes the dominant star of the night sky. It shines much more than Jupiter, which can still be seen in the first half of the night. On July 1st, Mars will leave half an hour before midnight. At the end of the month, at half-past nine in the evening, he crosses the line of the southern horizon.
Moon near the Earth – Spring tides and tensions in the Earth's crust
The new moon will be reached at 1:48 pm. On the same day, the moon reaches 357,430 kilometers near the Earth, resulting in spring tides and tensions in the Earth's crust. In addition, the new black moon covers nearly a third of the solar disk, there is a partial eclipse. It can be observed only in the Arctic Ocean south of Australia, in the Southeast of the Indian Ocean and in the South West Pacific, as well as in a narrow coastal strip from Antarctica and on the southeast coast of Australia.

Venus continues to play his role of evening star. Shortly after sunset, you can see them in the sky from the west. Venus slightly increases brightness. However, their visibility is shortened by about an hour. At the end of July, it leaves shortly after ten thirty in the evening

The fixed starry sky has a summery character
The fixed starry sky now has a summery character . Spring constellations such as Leo and Jungfrau are in decline. Only Arcturus, the main orange star of the boat, is still prominent in the west. The summer triangle with the shining stars Wega in the lyre, Deneb in the swan and Atair in the eagle conquered the southern sky. The weak constellations Hercules and Snake Bearer with the snake pbad the midday line. Just above the southern horizon, you can see a bright red star: he calls Antares and he is the main star of Scorpio. Scorpio is followed by Sagittarius, which is currently Saturn.
The Big Dipper started his descent. Its drawbar points up, the body of the car hangs. The Sky-W, Cbadiopeia, begins in the northeast with its ascent to the zenith.
The land pbades the 6th in the evening its sunniest railway point. Their distance from the star of the day is 152 million kilometers. At the beginning of January, we are five million kilometers closer to the Sun.
The sun began its descent towards the autumn towards the celestial equator. On the 21st, she leaves the twins early in the morning and goes to the cancer constellation. A day later, she enters the Leo zodiac one hour before midnight. The length of the day decreases by one hour, the height of the sun at noon decreases by five degrees.
