Lovers of astronomy in America will be treated in a great show this month. A common lunar eclipse will be seen in the early morning of March 14. During this phenomenon, Moon Will not disappear from the view, but it will look deep red As if they were covered with bloodS

During the lunar eclipse, the earth blocks the light from the sun, which usually illuminates the moon. On the night of March 13 and the early morning of the 14th, the darkest part of the earth’s shade called Umbra, will cover the moon during its most bright phase. Partial lunar eclipses are relatively common – but those like the one who coincides with the full moon are relative rare. On average, each region of the Earth has the chance to examine a general lunar eclipse only once every 2.5 years.

Second general lunar eclipse will happen this year on September 7 and will be seen In the eastern parts of Africa, in much of Asia and the western half of Australia.

The moon appears red during a lunar eclipse because of How does the sun’s light interact With the earth’s atmosphere. The visible sunlight looks white but is actually made up of a combination of lights of different colors and frequencies that can be discouraged or scattered depending on How many of the atmosphere They have to travel. It is for this reason The sky looks blue When the sun is high in the sky, but it is often red at sunset, when the sun is low and its light walks longer distances through the atmosphere.

When sunlight struck the earth’s atmosphere during the lunar eclipse, the light frequencies to the blue end of the visible spectrum are scattered outwards, away from the earth’s Umbra, but those with longer wavelengths, to the red part of the spectrum, are bent inwards and thrown on the moon.

According to NASA, the eclipse will begin at 8:57 pm Pacific time. In Mexico, the phenomenon will start at 10:57 pm CDT, in Argentina at 12:57 (Art) and in Spain at 5:57 (CET). The ahead of the earth’s shadow on the other side of the moon will be slow. Observers will notice that the satellite will gradually lose lead in lead to the general eclipse before it becomes the blood. It is envisaged that the set of eclipse, or the time when the blood moon appears, will happen at 23:26 PDT. The climax will last approximately one hour.
