One Total lunar eclipse will happen next Friday (14) and will be visible throughout Brazil. This phenomenon is often called blood moon, as the natural satellite will be covered by the shadow and It will seem reddish to those who watch the surface of the earth .
THE Penumbral part of this week’s lunar eclipse will start at 00h57 (BrasÃlia time), early in the morning. However, the penumbral eclipse is almost imperceptible to the naked eye for us here on earth.
THE real show will start at 2:09 am when part of the moon will begin to be covered by the umbra and the eclipse becomes visible to the naked eye. The totality of the lunar eclipse – that is, when the whole moon will be covered – will start at 3:26, will reach your maximum at 3:58, and end at 4:31 .
During the event, where our planet will block sunlight that hits the moon, the satellite will acquire a reddish tone. In total, the eclipse will last 6 hours and three minutes, and the phase when it seems to be red, one hour and five minutes.
How to observe the total eclipse of the moon?
Unlike solar eclipse, the good news is that to accompany the lunar eclipse there is no need for precaution.
An important tip is to look for places with good visibility to the east – where the sun is born – because when the moon comes in the sky, the eclipse will already be underway. This is because lunar eclipses occur during the full moon, and this type of moon is born when the sun sets.
Who is in a region with little visibility can also resort to LIVE TRANSMISSION OF THE NATIONAL OBSERVATORYwhich happens from 0:30 am, in BrasÃlia time.
