March in opposition
The first phenomenon that can be admired in the night sky is the approach of March to Tierr a, and he can be seen as the brightest star in the sky until early September, after the observation of Venus as an orange dot
The approach of March will take place at 07H50 GMT on July 31, but before that there will also be an opposition to Mars, which is nothing but when Earth's orbits and Mars are synchronized in a straight line.
Observers of the Northern Hemisphere will be able to see March in the southeast after dark, although the best time will be after midnight.
Luna de sangre
On July 27, you can also see an eclipse of Total Moon which will transform our natural satellite into a dull red dot, better known as " Blood Moon ", but will only be visible in South America, West Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.
It will be visible for about three hours and 55 minutes, but the period during which the Moon will be completely covered by the shadow of Earth which will last one hour and 34 minutes.
