"Rusty Moon": In January, earthlings will observe an unusual eclipse
On the night of January 21 to 21, the moon will have a rusty hue and will have a larger appearance than usual when 39, a rare astronomical event.
Earthlings wait for a complete lunar eclipse. Novoe Vremya refers to Science Alert, writes Novoe Vremya, at the time of the greatest convergence between the Moon and the Earth.
The inhabitants of North and South America can witness all phases of darkening. Part of the eclipse will be visible in the second half of the night on January 21 in Africa and Europe, including Ukraine.
In our country, the beginning of the mid-shadow eclipse is expected at 16:37 in Kiev, and the beginning of the total eclipse is at 6:41. The maximum phase of the eclipse will take place after 7 am, when the sun will already be above the Ukraine. It remains to be hoped that the sky will be relatively cloudless.
Unusual shades of the moon during this event will be caused by the scattering and refraction of sunlight into our atmosphere, when the Moon will traverse the Earth's shadow during the complete lunar eclipse.
