July promises to be a feast for astronomers across the globe with a line-up of a triple heavenly enchantment – a partial solar eclipse on Friday (July 13th), a lunar eclipse in the night of July 27 while Mars gets closer
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon crosses the earth and the sun, blocking it partially or completely.
The solar eclipse occurred on Friday is a partial eclipse. it will be visible mainly on open waters, and in the southern parts of Australia and New Zealand.
The real treat will be the lunar eclipse later this month, which will be the longest total lunar eclipse of this century. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth enters the Sun and the Moon. A shady shadow is an area where the Earth has blocked all the direct sunlight to reach the moon.
When it enters the whole phase, the moon ends in the shadow of the earth and acquires a reddish hue "Blood Moon".
The total lunar eclipse, when it is completely under the shadow of the Earth, will last an hour and 43 minutes.
This rare celestial event will be visible across Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and South America. In India, we can see it after 23:54. TSI July 27th.
Four days later, another spectacular celestial event is taking place.
On July 31, Mars, the fourth planet of the Sun, will be 57.6 million km from Earth, the closest since 2003 when it fell to 55.7 million km, the closest in 60 000 years.
"The red planet will be the brightest since 2003, when Mars made his" Dr. Debiprosad Duari, Director of Research and Academic, MP Birla Institute of Basic Research told PTI.
Mars will be visible in the night sky after sunset until sunrise from around India if the sky remains clear.
"As it will be close enough to the Earth by then, it will appear very bright and will be visible roughly after sunset and will remain in the sky until sunrise." red shines very well in our night sky … it will be easier to see it clearly with telescopes or even to the naked eye, "said Duari
