Natural blood moon phenomena will take place this weekend, precisely on Saturday morning, July 28, Indonesia time. The sky will be decorated with an orange red moon for 103 minutes. The length of the eclipse's duration makes blood moon referred to as the longest total lunar eclipse of the century. Is it true that this month's eclipse affects health? According to the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), blood moon can be seen all over Indonesia. You can enjoy this rare phenomenon from the start of a partial eclipse, the beginning of a total eclipse, the total eclipse end, to the end of a partial eclipse. You don't need special equipment or special glasses to see it safely. Simply by going out and watching it with the naked eye. Can also be via a telescope or binoculars.
It was also explained by BMKG that the duration of blood moon duration was caused by three things. First is because when the peak of the eclipse occurs, the position of the center of the lunar disk is very close to the center of the earth umbra. Secondly, a total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon is around its farthest point from the earth. And thirdly, in July the earth is around its farthest point from the sun aphelion.
