The total eclipse that stains the red moon: scientists around the world observed the phenomenon

The Luna began to stain red on Friday due to a eclipse totala rare show that will be followed in two weeks of a partial eclipse of the sun.

The lunar eclipse, the first of the year, will be visible in its totality phase from the American continent, much of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans and at the end west of Europe and Africa.

This phenomenon occurs around twice a year, when the sun, the earth and the moon, in its full phase, are perfectly aligned.

The earth projects its shadow on the moon and is gradually loses its white brightness.

But some sunlight continues to reach the leaked moon through the Earth’s atmosphere, which gives the satellite a reddish tone.

The eclipse will last about six hours and its totality phase a little more than an hour.

A few days later, on March 29, a partial sun eclipse will cover part of the Earth.

It can be observed from Canada, Europe, Russia and Africa.

Like the lunar eclipse, the solar eclipse occurs when the sun, the moon and the earth are perfectly aligned. This time, however, it is the moon that is brought between the sun and the earth, totally or partially hiding the sun.

Even in the case of a partial eclipse, the sun should not be observed directly to the naked eye, but only with special glasses. Its rays may burn the retina, with irreversible consequences.
