Before the end of this month, the longest lunar eclipse will take place in a century and we will be able to see it!

Al-Maqtas Newspaper On June 27, we will witness the longest lunar eclipse of the 21st century.

will be fully visible in East Africa, Central Asia and India, and will be at least partially visible in New Zealand and South America.

In lunar eclipses, the moon moves in the shadow of earthly space.

This shadow evaluates two different types of partial eclipse: if the moon pbades through a region (penumbra) a Latin word means half of the shadow, or the total: when the moon is in the moon. full shadow and means complete shadow.

The complete shadow is so great that the moon can pbad through without reaching its center, but this month, a central lunar eclipse will occur because it will be very long.

And what else?

Another factor that remains along this eclipse is that the moon is at its edges, at the furthest point of its monthly Earth orbit.

In this distance, the planet projects a wider shadow, so these two factors reside in a lunar eclipse of record numbers.

The moon will be lost for an hour and 43 minutes (the longest since 2000, when the eclipse took an hour and 46.4 minutes) only a few seconds shorter than the longest possible time for an eclipse lunar (1 hour 47 minutes).

Khasofan belong to the same cycle (saros cycle), which means that they have the same geographical events, these occurrences are repeated every 18 years.

The eclipse will reach its peak at 20:28 UTC UCT (16:22 EDT).

Millions of people will see the moon turn progressively before taking on the distinctive scarlet color of the total lunar eclipse, the moon becomes red as it is the only light that reaches it and is reflected on its surface to reflect the earth's atmosphere. And his sunrise.

Question constantly asked during the lunar eclipse, why not happen every month?

The answer is not complicated: the earth, the sun and the moon do not rotate at the same levels, so they bend once in a while.

In fact, the level of the moon's orbit is five degrees higher than that of the Earth and the Sun. IbrahimMuhammadGadAllah [Verified:TasnimMedaillon
