The Longest is the 21st Century Lunar Eclipse

In Lithuania, the moon falls at 21:19, and after five minutes we will see how the Earth's satellite has landed. The full eclipse phase will begin at 22:30 and will end at 00:13. Unfortunately, the weather forecast is not pleasant: at the beginning of the eclipse, the sky will be clear only in the western part of the country, and around midnight the clouds will cover the sky over Lithuania and the sky will only cross the swamps. the sky was cloudy with cracks, the clouds were very thin. Astronomer Vidas Dobrovolskas, 15th of the Museum of Ethnocosmology Molėtai, observing the eclipse of the Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astronomy, said that about 50- 60 observers gathered in the largest observatory in Lithuania to observe this exceptional phenomenon of the sky from the best places. , but for the moment they do not break their chance: the sky above the observatory is covered with dense clouds, and viewers are still satisfied with the monitoring of online broadcasting. However, V.Dobrovolsk does not lose hope and hopes that until the beginning of the complete eclipse, the sky will be clear and the eclipse will not only be visible on the screen of the & # 39; 39; computer.

The astronomer indicates that the conditions of observation are better for the eclipse. is much deeper.

V. Dobrovolskas explained that at the beginning of the eclipse, the moon will be pale white color, but when it begins to cover the darkest part of the earth's shadow – the shadow – it will begin to appear and its redness, which is determined by the uneven distribution of sunlight in different colors of the Earth's atmosphere. The redness of this moon is particularly visible in the photographs, says the astronomer.

The moon begins slowly, a lighter, partial shadow of the Earth, called the lower body, begins to fall on it. It is visible how the observer of the Earth begins to darken the lower left, 7-8 hours.
