The Moon "Bloody" meets Friday Aris – Light – Science – Physics – Space

The hot summer day of July 27, 2018 will end with the sunset at 8:39 pm. And while you expect to see the moon on the other side of the horizon (is) in full moon phase, this night you will notice something else that the experts call awesome and weird ! There will be a total lunar eclipse, a phenomenon that is characterized as a "bloody" moon due to the hue our natural satellite receives, while making its appearance with the intense Aris splendor, which will be found because of its orbit within walking distance of the Moon and the Earth

As observes the National Observatory of Athens, the bright full moon slowly loses its luster and shadow as it enters the the shadow of the Earth from 9:24 pm to 10:30 pm. After 22:30, the lunar disc will change color to yellow-bronze and until 23:22 the color of the moon will become deep red-burgundy. The phenomenon of totality will take place on the eastern horizon, but this time the Moon will have a companion since Mars is near. In fact, March, the same day will be in opposition and at a distance incredibly close to Earth, about 58 million kilometers.

The Penteli Observatory will be open to the public and with the help of amateur astronomers of the Hellenic Astronomical Union with their portable telescopes,

will be observed the phenomenon.
