One lunar eclipse will turn the moon attractive red – and it won’t again for months.
Blood moon will appear millions of people around the world.
It is an incredible event that bathes in the shadow of the earth – hidden from the light of the sun.
Why is the moon going red?
If you’ve ever looked at the moon (and surely you have), you may have noticed that it will shine a bright white.
But he is not producing any light. You are just reflecting the sunlight.
Sometimes the earth is between the moon and the sun.
This puts the moon in the earth’s shadow (or umbra).
If they are in a full line Space Then you are watching the total lunar eclipse.
When this happens, the moon will rotate “Deep, dark red” because it is just being hit by light that is going through the earth’s atmosphere and then bent to the moon.
“Its stages,” said Edward Bloomer, a senior astronomical manager of Royal Observatory Greenvich, talking to Sun.
“It will look like before that a shadow is passing on the surface of the moon – not totally dark, but will make the surface darker.”
He added: “As the moon moves in the Uba (for the most part), the surface will be a type of orange-brown color.

“Really, if you take photos and accelerate the color, you can see the radi -drip rainbow effect when you really move to the moon umbrella – you get. Pink And there is also purple. “
You can also get a partial and penumbral lunar eclipse, which is when the moon is not completely hidden from the point of view of the sun.
Where is the lunar eclipse visible?
Some parts of the earth will have a better appearance of the eclipse.
North America is for real treatment, because every U.S. The entire lunar eclipse will appear in the state.

Central and South America are also luck from the whole eclipse point of view.
For Brits (and anyone else in Western Europe), you will see the best eclipse as you have arranged the moon.
Western Africa parts will get a view of lunar eclipse, and this is true in Oshania.
How to look at the lunar eclipse
It is so easy to spot the lunar eclipse – if you know where and when to see.
What is a blood moon? Explains the lunar eclipse
Here’s what you need to know …
The earth is constantly rotating around the sun, and the moon is constantly moving around the earth.
Sometimes all three can align, placing the earth in a straight line between the sun and the moon.
That means the moon is in the darker part of the earth’s shadow – “Umbra”.
And due to the convenient size and removal of all three of the bugs, no sunlight can reach the moon directly.
However, some sunlight is reflected from the Earth’s atmosphere, from which the moon appears red – so the name “blood moon”.
The lunar eclipse usually lasts for a few hours, and can be seen from anywhere on the night of the earth.
Because they are usually fairly unclear, it is also possible to see the lunar eclipse without the protection of the eye, which is not a solar eclipse.
There are three different types of lunar eclipse:
- Total eclipse – This is where the moon deep the tanda turns red, only receives the light passing through the atmosphere of the earth.
- Fill – This is when the sun, the moon and the earth fail to create a full straight line, so the moon only passes through the outer part of the shadow of the earth. This means that the surface of the moon is partially. It’s dark.
- Part – This is when a part of the moon goes through the entire shadow of the earth, resulting in the darker the moon becomes darker.
For Brits, you want to be too late for the best view.
It will take place on Friday, March 14th.
The Royal Observatory in Greenwich, the UK, explains, “The moon will first move on to the earth’s penumbra at 3.577777.”
“The maximum eclipse in London will be at 6.19 am, because during the actual maximum of 6.58 of the eclipse, the moon will be set below the horizon.”
Observatory recommends reaching a high point where you have a “clear western view”.
For Americans, it will change based on your time zone.
Here is here to find the fullness of the lunar eclipse:
- Hawaii time – 8.26 pm (March 13)
- Alaska Time – 10.26 pm (March 13)
- Pacific Time – 11.26 pm (March 13)
- Mountain Time – 12.26am (March 14)
- Central Time – 1.26am (March 14)
- Eastern time – 2.26am (March 14)

The whole event will last about six hours, almost the perfection at the midway point.
Thank you if you miss this, it’s not the end of the road.
The total lunar eclipse is expected on September 7 this year, and then in 2026 the 28 August is partial on the Gust.
The September event is very easy for British to spy, as it will happen only after 7pm.
