A rare lunar eclipse that all of Egypt witnesses. The giant moon is in the background and glows

The world is witnessing a lunar eclipse before sunrise on Monday, which is essentially a "total eclipse" that sees all phases of the globe, but that varies from country to country. Observers in Egypt, Central and Eastern Libya, Western Syria, Lebanon and Lebanon will be able to see a rare sight. The occurrence, where the sun is watched during its rising and the moon completely dissolved at the same time, is a phenomenon – geometrically – can not occur. In Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, central and eastern Syria, and eastern and central Sudan, while the population of the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain, Somalia, Djibouti, Comoros and Yemen..

The total eclipse of the Moon coincides with the occurrence of the Moon at the closest distance to the Earth (the background) or the so-called "giant moon", where the size of the virtual diameter and lighting will be superior to that of most other satellites..

According to the Jeddah Astronomical Society, the presence of eclipses will separate the sun and the moon from 180 degrees in total. It is therefore unusual to see them together in the sky, which may seem impossible, but their refraction results from the refraction of the atmosphere – according to the engineer Majid Abuzahra, which allows observers on Earth to see the sun for a short while before it gets up and the moon after its real gravity. Due to this visual illusion, the ability to see this unusual scene for a short time will vary depending on the location of the observer, provided the east and west horizons are visible. A Buildings or Mountains extrovert site such as wild areas and be clear sky.

The partial eclipse begins at the same time in all regions of the Arab world at 3:33 GMT. The moon then begins to penetrate the shadow of the earth and begins to gradually lose its illumination in the upper left for the observer. During the partial eclipse phase, the shadow of the earth falling on the moon is rigid and ancient astronomers understood that the earth was spherical..

"The moon will appear red during the eclipse because the indirect sun can reach the moon, but before that, it passes through the atmosphere of the Earth, which is scattered and most of the blue spectrum and the red spectrum remains.If the Earth did not have atmosphere, we would see The moon is covered with black.

Unlike the solar eclipse, the lunar eclipse does not require any special monitoring device. She is very safe and presents no danger when she is seen with the naked eye. For better vision, we should use a small telescope or binoculars to make the results clearer..

This lunar eclipse comes two weeks after a partial solar eclipse occurred on January 6, 2019 and will be followed in the second half of this year by the second solar eclipse of 29 Shawwal 1440 corresponding to July 2 and will not be "curiosity" in the sky from the Arab homeland.
