Friends and family social media shared an article claiming that Mars would be the size of the moon on July 27, 2018. It's a myth. a "blood moon" this weekend, and there will also be something fascinating about Mars, but if they seemed to be of the same size, we would be in serious trouble, here is the science of this What will happen with the moon and Mars.

On Friday, July 27, there will be a lunar eclipse of "moon of blood" The full moon passes through the # Shadow of the Earth.The particular eclipse is that it will change the color of the moon into a reddish color.Of course, that is where the term "blood moon" comes from, but this one will occur for about 103 minutes together with the longest "blood moon". "In the story going on, Mars will be only 35, 9 million miles from Earth. rts, it's the closest that the "red planet" has been to the Earth in 15 years. According to a story on the CBS News website,
For about half of the world, the moon will be partially or totally in the shadow of the Earth from 1:14 pm. at 19:28 ET – six hours and 14 minutes in all. The period of complete eclipse – called "totality", when the moon appears the darkest – will last from 15:30. at 17:13 ET. "The Totality will last 103 minutes, making it the longest eclipse of the 21st century!" says the Royal Astronomical Society in London
So, why does a total lunar eclipse like this make the red moon appear? According to the NASA website,
A total lunar eclipse occurs when the entire moon enters the Earth's shadow. Some rays of the sun still reach the moon, but they first cross the Earth's atmosphere. The atmosphere filters most of the blue light from the sun, so the moon is red
These optical processes look a bit like what happens on Earth when we see sunsets and orange-reddish sunrises. why this particular event will be so long, relatively speaking. The moon will make a nearly perfect pass through the center of the shadow. The shadow is the darkest central part of the Earth's shadow. Terrans are familiar with the umbra. According to timeanddate.com, "Whenever the sun goes down, we enter the darkness created by the shadow of the Earth, but like total solar eclipses, lunar eclipses occur only because they require the entry of the Moon in the shade. "The shadow of the Earth causes total lunar eclipses, and the moon's shadow causes total solar eclipses.

This brings me back to the myth that is spreading around social media. same size. It is clear that people confuse the fact that we are going to experience a spectacular blood moon at the same time that Mars is making one of its closest passes to the Earth. The story of CBS mentioned above places both events in a proper context. Regarding the myth that the two bodies will be the same size, the notes of history,
If this were true, we would be in big trouble considering the gravitational effects on Earth, Mars and our moon! "Mars will be more likely to appear as a very bright star, and viewers will not need any eye protection equipment."
March has already received quite a bit of publicity this week: more early in the week, the European Space Agency announced that a radar system may have detected a brackish water body under the south pole of the planet, there will be more press this week- end, but the "blood moon" will actually be the show's star.

Friends and family in social media shared an article claiming that on July 27, 2018 Mars would be as big as the moon. It's a myth. There is a "blood moon" this weekend, and there will also be something fascinating about Mars. But if they seemed to be the same size, we would have serious problems. Here is the science of what will happen with the moon and March this weekend.

What is special about this particular eclipse is that it will change the color of the moon into a reddish color. Obviously, that's where the term "blood moon" comes from, but it will last about 103 minutes. At the same time as the longest "blood moon" in history will occur, Mars will be only 35.9 million miles from Earth. According to experts, it is the closest that the "red planet" has been on Earth in 15 years. According to a story on the CBS News website,
