Lunar Eclipse – How do you watch?

A lunar eclipse is one of the simplest phenomena to notice. All you have to do is get out in the air at a given time and look at our satellite. You don’t need any devices for regular observation, although to see as much detail as possible, it’s worth having binoculars with you, for example.

Lunar eclipse – what is it?

A lunar eclipse occurs during a full moon. At this time, the natural satellite is aligned with the Earth and the Sun. The planet blocks sunlight from reaching the moon, leaving some of it in the shade.

In the event of an eclipse in November, only the lower edge of the moon will be illuminated. The rest of the dial will turn red. Where does this color come from? This is due to the oxygen and nitrogen molecules in the Earth’s atmosphere. They are better at scattering certain wavelengths of light (blue or purple), so colors with a longer wavelength (red, orange or yellow) are visible for longer. When the moon is in the earth’s shadow, reddish colors predominate.

When is the next eclipse?

The lunar eclipse in November will be the second in 2021. Two weeks later, on December 4, 2021, there will be a total solar eclipse.

In turn, we will have to wait until May 16, 2022 for the next lunar eclipse.
