[Nouvelle Dynastie Tang, 27 juillet 2018] The longest total eclipse and the "Blood Moon" of this century will appear in the night sky Friday night and Saturday morning and there will also be astronomy the same day. Phenomenon
The astronomer of the Observatoire de Paris presents this astronomical spectacle.
Paris Observatory astronomer PASCAL DESCAMP: "We will see the longest total eclipse of the 21st century, which will last 1 hour and 43 minutes."
The next full moon for this long time will not be seen until 2123.
When the lunar eclipse occurs, the atmosphere of the Earth absorbs the blue-violet light, and only the light red penetrates, so it is also called "blood moon".
According to data from NASA, in the United States, the eclipse will begin at 1:14 pm EST on Friday, and the total eclipse will appear at 4:21 pm.
Most of East Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia are the best places to observe this total eclipse.
The best time to watch the total eclipse in Perth, Australia is at 3:30 am local time on Saturday.
The UK is about 23h local time Friday.
People can also look online through the virtual telescope project.
The Virtual Telescope has been installed in Rome, Italy, and the live broadcast will begin at 11:30 am local time on Friday.
In addition, the astronomical scene of "Mars Rushing Day" will be staged that night. Mars and the sun are on either side of the Earth, and the sun-lit Mars side is completely facing the Earth, so it looks extraordinarily bright.
