In the night from 27 to 28 September throughout the country will be able to watch the lunar eclipse. Not only that, it will be a total solar eclipse, our satellite is closest to the Earth in the whole of 2015., Earning the title Supermoon. Next such a phenomenon only in 2033 years.
The lunar eclipse occurs when one line will set out: the Sun, Earth and Moon. The shadow cast by the planet is then so large that the Silver Globe can hide in it. And because our natural satellite is lit by reflected light from the Sun, blocking it causes the disk of the moon ceases to shine.
This year’s total lunar eclipse will be on display – in Poland – in the night from Sunday to Monday (from 27 to September 28). Astronomical phenomenon will begin a few minutes after noon. 2 am and end at approx. 6.30, occurs when the moon completely. At this time we will be able to see the whole first part of the phase Halftone, when the moon will darken a little – tells popularizer of astronomy Charles Wojcicki of the Copernicus Science Centre and Planetarium Heavens of Copernicus in Warsaw. will see later phase of the total when the Sun is completely obscured by the planet and the moon will not be directly illuminated by the sun – explains.
This year’s eclipse will, however, unique. That day, outside the eclipse we will have the so-called. perigee moon, which means that it will be closest to Earth. Approaches her for less than 357 thousand. kilometers and it will be the most close to the Moon around the Earth in 2,015 years – announces Wojcicki. Located so close to Mars, the Moon becomes the name Supermoon – observers seem out that more than 10 percent. greater than usual.
The situation in which lunar perigee occurs together with his eclipse in the last century, happened only five times. The next opportunity to see Supermoon during the eclipse will be only 2033 years – says Wojcicki.
darkened Supermoon also become a unique color. will not disappear completely, because it will have a blood-red color. This is because it is illuminated by sunlight lit up the Earth’s atmosphere. This is the same effect that we observed during sunrise or sunset sun – says Wojcicki.
The lunar eclipse will be uniquely “democratic” phenomenon. will see them inhabitants of the planet, and actually this part on which there is currently night. To observe not need binoculars or telescopes, but certainly using them view may be a bit more interesting – selects popularizer of astronomy.
He stresses, however, that the most interesting phase of the eclipse will be visible already in the morning – low over the north-western horizon. So let’s find a place where no buildings or trees, or hills we will not impair your vision – advises the caller PAP. It will be – as he says – a great opportunity to do exceptional photos with the earthly landscape will accompany the bloody moon set low over the buildings. That night is not enough that the moon will be red and eclipsed, it is also larger than usual. All the more reason to get up before sunrise and see the eclipse – encourages Wojcicki.
