Tonight we enjoy a total lunar eclipse
This year’s total lunar eclipse will be on display also in Poland already next night. An astronomical spectacle will begin a few minutes after noon. 2 am and end at approx. 6.30.
This year’s eclipse will be 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 – says popularizer of astronomy Charles Wojcicki of the Copernicus Science Centre and Planetarium Heavens of Copernicus in Warsaw.
The last total solar eclipse was visible from the Polish in 2011. However, the situation in which lunar perigee occurs together with its eclipse, occurred in the last century only five times.
