At a few hours intervals, fans follow the movement of stars and elephants in the United States for a unique phenomenon, a total eclipse of the moon but provided that the sky is clear.

From Los Angeles to New York, astronauts will take their face in front of the sky in anticipation of the eclipse known as Giant Wolf Moon, which is expected to appear at 11:41 am EDT (4:41 GMT), according to Reuters.

Although it is a total eclipse, the moon will not darken completely but will shine in a red coppery color that earned it the name of Bloody Moon. It's a giant moon because it's a full moon very close to the earth.

Since its release in January, when wolves were starving outside the villages, the description of the moon by the wolf was obtained in accordance with the History of Farmers of Germany.

But regardless of the perfection of the stars to show this dazzling event, the joy or frustration of the evening will actually depend on one thing: time.

If the sky is clear Sunday night, the entire moon eclipse can be seen with the naked eye.

Unlike the solar eclipse, which requires eye protection to be able to observe safely, no further action will be required to follow the lunar eclipse without risk to health.

If the clouds are blocked, this phenomenon can be followed online.

"Anyone who can not see can connect to the Internet and follow the scene of our cameras in the sky around the world," said Andrew Vesikas, spokesperson for Astronomers and WeatherBorders.com.

The next opportunity for Americans to see a total loss of the moon will be made in 2022.

Vizikas said that the red color of the bloody moon is the result of sunlight passing through the dusty and polluted atmosphere. Blue rays with shorter wavelengths are more sensitive to refraction outside the Earth's surface, while longer, less refractive rays point to the moon.

But an hour-long eclipse of the North and South Americas, where 2.8 billion people will be able to follow in the Northern Hemisphere, Europe, West, Africa and Northern Russia, will be visible .
