On the evening of Friday 27 July and the night of 28 July (Norwegian time), an unusual long-lasting eclipse of the moon occurs – the whole of it will last 1 hour and 43 minutes
– Next time we can experience The Eclipse will only be 105 years old. The Friday eclipse will be a particularly impressive sight because of the duration and because the moon is low over the horizon. The astrophysicist Knut Jørgen Røed Ødegaard and the scientific mediator Anne Mette Sannes have published an article in a press release.
The moon is most often beautiful red under total eclipse, and seen against the summer plumage of the night sky, it is probably a bit of a spectacle!
Total lunar eclipses can be very beautiful! This was taken from California on April 15, 2014.
– March has not been closer to 15 years
The absolute climax of the event, however, occurs when the red planet Mars towards the end of the whole emerges just below from the darkened moon plate.
– Tonight, Mars is closer to us than she was at age 15, and the brightness is so particularly great. We will live something as exclusive as a red moon that lies directly across the red planet, writing the two passionate.
This will be the most extended total lunar eclipse on Earth in our century.
The eclipse is the beginning of a two-week series of important, rare, spectacular and very important astronomical events, announced
– The following week, the first sunscreen of the Story rises and on August 11 we will experience a great solar eclipse. the whole country and the most beautiful meteoric power of the year.

What happens during a lunar eclipse?
The moon spends four weeks walking around the earth. This means that every four weeks (at the new moon), the sun, the earth and the moon are almost aligned. The moon is orbiting the earth a little more than 5 degrees from the line between the earth and the sun, which means that the moon usually passes over or in the shadow of the ground.
But once upon a time the moon was close to the point that crosses the line between the sun and the earth, thus passing the moon through the shadow of the earth.
There may be several years in a row without lunar eclipses, but in this case more such phenomena occur in a relatively short period of time.
31. In January of this year, we observed a big total lunar eclipse, but we had not seen this phenomenon in Norway since September 28, 2015. At that time, it was almost four years since total lunar eclipse was visible from Norway. Such eclipses in less than a year!
Already on January 21st, next year, we will experience a new total lunar eclipse, but this one will have a significantly shorter duration.

– Reflections of sunrises and sunsets from all continents
During a total lunar eclipse, the appearance of the moon usually changes greatly in orange, red and burgundy.
Even under all, the moon is not usually completely dark because sunlight is spreading through the earth's atmosphere and reaches the surface of the moon.
Sunlight passes through the Earth's atmosphere, where the sun rises or falls – it's a belt that stretches around the entire earth. It is therefore possible to say that the color and brightness of the moon reflect all the sunrises and sunsets.
The color and brightness of the moon, however, vary greatly from one eclipse to the other due to the different conditions of the earth 's atmosphere. Rarely the moon becomes gray and especially the lightning during the eclipse. This is due to dust from major volcanic eruptions, especially the extended forest fires or unusual clouds on the part of the earth where sunlight passes through the atmosphere on its way to the moon.
Since the moon is moving this time through the central part of the Earth's shadow, we can expect parts of the whole to become relatively dark.

On weekends you can see about 120 shots per hour
Eclipse record seen from Norway
Most of the unusually long totality (from 21:30 to 23:30) can to be seen from almost the whole country. The moon rises in the southeast after the start of the eclipse, and the moment the moon rises determines how much of the phenomenon will be visible.
At these moments the moon arrives on July 27:
- In Oslo and Kristiansand at. 21.49
- Halden at. 21.41
- Trysil kl. 21,53
- Lillehammer at. 21.59
- Bergen kl. 22.14
- Ålesund kl. 22,28
- Trondheim kl. 22.19
- Bodø kl. 22.51
- Tromsø kl. 23,24
- Alta to. 23.17
- Churches in. 22.43
The final partial phase ends at. 00.19, and the eclipse will be completely over 01.28 night to August 28th.
In most parts of the country, most of the total phase will be visible and part of the total will be possible northerly to the border between Nordland and Troms, but also to the north. East of Finnmark. The eclipse will not be visible from Svalbard.
Since the moon is low in the southeast direction during the eclipse, it is important to have a free view without obstacles like hills, vegetation and buildings in order to do the same. experience of the phenomenon.
In the region of Oslo, Mars appears during the darkened moon around 11 pm
How do you experience the best superphenomena?
– Although all phases of the eclipse is amazing to watch without help, allowing binoculars to follow the phenomenon in even greater detail, writes Ødegaard and Sannes.
Then you can also see how the landscape features on the moon appear again after being darkened.
– The experience will be even more beautiful if you are in a dark place without artificial lighting.
Because the Earth's shadow is curved, during the partial phase you will have a unique opportunity to see that the ground is round.
