Residents of the Americas and parts of Europe and West Africa are waiting for a full moon loss on Sunday night, January 21, 2019, the last of which will occur before 2022. The full moon will appear larger than usual as it will be relatively close to the Earth at 358,000 km.
The eclipse starts at 0:34 GMT when the full moon enters the earth. The eclipse will be less pronounced in Eastern Europe and Africa because of the rising sun. The inhabitants of the Americas, from north to south, will see the eclipse completely.
The phenomenon of eclipse occurs when the earth is in a straight line between the sun and the moon and its light is diverted. From 3.34 to 6.51, the full moon will enter the surface of the Earth and will be completely decimated from 4: 41 GMT, according to the US Space Agency (NASA).
When the eclipse is over, the moon does not disappear completely but remains red. The reason is that the sun's rays do not reach it directly, but only a part of the red rays that penetrate the atmosphere of the Earth and are reflected on the moon. This is the same phenomenon that causes the color red at sunrise and sunset.
Europe will be on a date with total eclipse on May 16, 2022, until you see partial losses. Partial or total lunar eclipses occur at least twice a year, French astronomer Florent Delifly told AFP. However, these phenomena are not visible on the whole Earth.
It is rarely possible to observe the phenomena of complete eclipses, as it is the case with the phenomenon recorded Sunday evening. The last time that the European population was able to follow a complete eclipse, it is in July 2018. The North Americans will have this opportunity again in 2021 in the states of the west coast and in 2022 for the states of the coast is.
