Sharjah 24-DHA:
On Sunday, the world will see the only lunar eclipse in 2019, when the shadow of the earth will fall on the moon, turning the moon into a reddish orange.
The total eclipse of the moon is visible in the western half of the Earth, in Europe, in the western part of Africa and in northern Russia, in good weather, attracting about 2.8 billion spectators.
North Americans have the best view of eclipses, appearing in the sky at 9:36 pm Eastern Sunday, while in Europe they will see the eclipse at dawn on Monday.
NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) said it was the first time in three years that North America was witnessing a lunar eclipse.
During the lunar eclipse, the moon will be a red-hot orange called "bloody moon". Its change of color is due to the diffusion of the small atoms of the Earth when the sun crosses it, leaving a red color for the most part.
