Around midnight on July 27, we can witness a total lunar eclipse, the longest of this century, when the moon would pbad through the center of the Earth 's shadow making the first central lunar eclipse after June 2011. That would happen when the moon is at its furthest distance from the earth, making it the longest eclipse that would last an hour and 43 minutes, said BG Sidharth, director of the Birla Science Center, here Thursday. The eclipse would be visible from a ring of countries of Africa, Central Asia, South America, Europe and Australia. It can be seen from all over the country if there are no clouds. The eclipse itself would begin a little before midnight around 11:15 pm. (TSI). Penumbral Eclipse would start at 22:44:47 in Hyderabad, he explained
"This is what is called first contact when the partial lunar eclipse begins." After that, the moon goes deeper and deeper into the earth's shadow.Most of the lunar eclipse occurs at 51 minutes 44 seconds past midnight (IST) .The eclipse will begin to slowly decline and finally at around 03:58 on July 28, the eclipse will be in the partial phase for an hour and nine minutes, "he said. Although in theory, the moon should disappear during the total lunar eclipse, but this does not happen because if the sun is blocked by the earth, sunlight pbades through the atmosphere of the earth, bends and manages to reach the moon, Dr. Sidharth
In this process, it is the reddish-brownish color that survives thanks to which the moon shines in a reddish brownish hue, also called the "Moon of Blood & # 39; for that reason, he said.
