July 27 will be the complete eclipse of the Moon – the longest of the 21 centuries. And then you will see Mars as a bright orange star – and all this to the naked eye!
The lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, and our satellite falls into the shadow of the Earth, that is, these celestial bodies are built in series.
Why does the moon turn red? with the visual effect that occurs when the sun's rays that cross the surface of the Earth dissipate into the earth's atmosphere and partially reach the moon
The Earth's atmosphere is more transparent on the rays of the red-orange part. when blackened only on It has a red hue.
It is interesting to note that in this eclipse, the moon will be smaller than usual. The orbit of the moon is not quite round, and on July 27 the moon will be at its peak, that is to say farthest from the earth.
This lunar eclipse will be visible this year. Asia An excellent review will be of scientists in Antarctica. All the inhabitants of Ukraine will be able to observe the eclipse with an unarmed eye – though, of course, this will not be hindered by the weather and the high clouds.
When to watch?
- Beginning – 21.24
- Full Phase – 22.30
- The Darkest Phase – 23.21
- End of the Complete Phase – 00.13
- End of the Eclipse – 1.19
Eclipse will be visible throughout the country, and for observation, there is no need for technical means. First, the moon will darken, then darken with a reddish hue. Then you can see Mars as a bright orange star.
This map shows where the eclipse will appear in whole or in part.
If time still brings the Ukrainians, then all the major events in the sky will be observed here, where there will be a live broadcast.
The best eclipse will be visible to Ukrainians in the eastern regions: in Donbass, in the regions of Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv.
Do not Forget March
With the moon completely darkened, pay attention to the planet next to us. On the day of the eclipse on Mars, there will be a day of "big confrontation". Shining a dazzling yellow-orange glow, this planet will be half a dozen degrees below Earth's satellite.
The great confrontation between Mars occurs when the Earth passes between Mars and the Sun so that the two planets get as close as possible to one another.
The red planet will shine Jupiter brighter (which at the usual time takes the honorable second place in brightness, yielding only the priority of Venus) in the period from July 7 to September 7, but the peak of the glow will reach 27.
"Ordinary" confrontations occur approximately every two years (on average, after 780 days). But when Mars flies as close as possible to our planet – less than 60 million miles, such confrontations call for big confrontations, they take place every 15 or 17 years.
The previous major confrontation took place on August 28, 2003. The next major confrontation will take place on September 16, 2035.
Let's Play Scientists
Using Only Your Eyes you can appreciate the brightness of the moon completely obscured. Astronomers measure luminosity and lunar color using a dungeon scale numbered from 0 (dark brown-red eclipse) to 4 (yellow-copper eclipse).
Danjong Scale ]
L = 0: Very dark darkness. The moon is almost invisible.
L = 1: Dark eclipse, gray or brown by color. The details are visible only with the equipment.
L = 2: Dark red or rusty color. Central shadow very dark and the outer edge is clearer.
L = 3: Orange-red color. The central shade usually has a bright or yellow breakfast.
L = 4: Very red-copper or orange color. The shade of the umbrella has a bluish dinner and very bright.
Share your own appreciation of the brightness with us in the comments below. This seemingly simple exercise can explain a lot the state of the Earth's atmosphere, including the impact of volcanoes and wildfires on its transparency.
What else?
In addition to all of the above, Saturn will be visible in the sky tonight. It will run so that the telescope will be able to see its ring. And that is not all: it will be seen clearly on July 27 four satellites of Jupiter, found by Galileo, who received the name of "Galilean".
Prohibition and beliefs on the lunar eclipse
Magical properties phenomena. And for every phenomenon, the best astrologer will tell you what it's worth or not worth doing.
Yes, at this moment, the Ukrainian media space is filled with advice on the future of the lunar eclipse. For example, during this period, it is not recommended to start new important cases: do not sign documents, do not assume obligations – especially financial. Or "it is not necessary to provoke the aggression of the surrounding people and to behave on the provocations of someone else."
You can find a number of rituals, for example, for privation and purification on the eclipse moon, where you have to burn paper with a list of what you want to get rid of life
We Underline that such advice and beliefs have no scientific justification, and that darkness is a natural and absolutely safe phenomenon
