The largest total lunar eclipse of the century is Friday – rbnett.no

The total eclipse begins at 9:30 pm and lasts until 23.13. Probably the moon will have a beautiful red color.

– The Friday's eclipse will be particularly impressive, because of the duration and because the moon is low over the horizon, says Anne Mette Sannes, a scientific mediator, with the following: astrophysicist Knut Jørgen Røed Ødegaard runs the site astroevents.no

Mars particularly large

According to Sannes and Ødegaard, there will be 105 years the next time that such a total lunar eclipse will occur

The possibilities from a red moon depend on atmospheric conditions. Large amounts of ash and soot particles can make the moon less bright without the red color.

On the tomb of Friday's total eclipse, the Mars planet emerges just below the moon – the astroevents. "This night, Mars is closer to us than she was at age 15, and the brightness is so important.We will experience something as exclusive as a red moon." , which stands directly across the red planet, "said Ødegaard

The space station hovers over the sky

Mars is not the only visible planet Friday night

Pål Brekke, solforsker and advisor for the coordination of space research at the Norwegian Space Center, says that Jupiter is also applicable in the sky show.At the same time, it attracts the international space station as an additional attraction

– The station of Rome is about 350 kilometers above sea level and travels 27,000 kilometers at the hour.It appears in the sky around 00:08 on Saturdays, and takes three minutes to cross the sky before it gets underway. he does not get into the om "Brekke says to NTB

– It looks like a very strong star that slowly glides over the sky Take a tour of the space station, which is also visible in the days leading up to the total eclipse.

See South

The Rome train station is visible only in southern Norway on Friday. The same goes for the total eclipse of the moon.

– This is because the moon is too low in the sky. The closer the north is, the closer the horizon is during the total eclipse and further north the moon will only be visible during the partial eclipse, Brekke explains.

The partial eclipse implies that the earth's shadow moves on the end moon, and then disappear around the clock at 0:19. How much of the eclipse that becomes visible where you are, depends on when the moon rises.

For those who want to get the eclipse, Brekke has the following advice:

– Find a high place with an unobstructed view to the south. Stay tuned The eclipse is fully visible to the naked eye, although you see more details with binoculars.
