Unusual eclipse on Friday – will be the blood moon

The lunar eclipse occurs when the earth is between the sun and the moon. The moon then ends in the shadow of the earth and passes the central parts of the earth's shadow. The lunar eclipse will be more elongated than usual and will last from 9:15 pm to 1:30 am

The best place in the Middle East

– In the south of Sweden you will see a clear total eclipse in about a half hour. The phenomenon will be better seen in the Middle East and in parts of Africa. Here in Kiruna, where we have the midnight sun, it becomes more difficult to see because of the light. The full eclipse ends at 23:13 in the evening, says Daniel Kastinen, PhD student in space physics at the IRF's Kiruna Space Research Institute.

<! –

When the moon is in the so-called umbrella – at center of the shadow of the earth – a total eclipse occurs. It occurred no later than July 16, 2000 and lasted 1 hour and 47 minutes.

You can take the course and see when the blood is the strongest here.

The light is broken

The shadow of the earth breaks the light of our atmosphere. Then the blue light breaks and the green continues straight. Red light goes through the atmosphere, hits the moon and colors red

– This becomes a clear lesson in the operation of the prism, the different colors of the light break differently. It will be a nice event that I recommend everyone to share. Some phenomena occur only once in the course of life, "says Daniel Kastinen

Mars looks better

Even the Mars planet will appear clearer about the lunar eclipse

– The Mars planet is generally perceived Friday, March will appear as a bright globe, if you use a regular home theater or good binoculars, he says.

Impressive Views

– Moon Eclipse can be seen without protecting the eyes you have to do if you want to look at eclipses of the sun. It's impressive to see, says Daniel Kastinen at the Kiruna Space Research Institute.

August 11 is invited for a partial eclipse and the meteoric rain The Perseids will be visible around August 9-15. The next total lunar eclipse will already take place on January 21, 2019.
