The inhabitants of Europe, America and Africa were totally annihilated by the moon on Monday night, waiting lovers of astronomical phenomena with binoculars or with the naked eye.
From Los Angeles to Mexico City via Paris and Ouarzazate, the eyes turned to the sky to watch the sky mingle, from midnight on the American continent until dawn in Europe and Africa. The eclipse lasted three hours, in part the first hour, then entirely to the second hour, and then again in part to three hours before the moon was completely out of the ground. The phenomenon of eclipse occurs when the earth is in a straight line between the sun and the moon and its light is diverted. The moon was at a distance of about 258,000 km from the Earth, and appeared large in the sky, known as the "giant moon". At the complete eclipse, he appeared red or pink. The reason is that the sun's rays do not reach it directly, but only a part of the red rays that penetrate the atmosphere of the Earth and are reflected on the moon. This is the same phenomenon that causes the color red at sunrise and sunset. The inhabitants of London were unable to see the eclipse because the clouds obscured their vision. Europe will be on a date with total eclipse on May 16, 2022. Until then, you will see partial losses. Partial or total lunar eclipses occur at least twice a year, French astronomer Florent DeLevelli told AFP. However, these phenomena are not visible on the whole Earth.
