So as I already told everyone that I am an astronomer . So lets have some latest astronomy news .
So this is the recent and big news about our moon and everyone need to look at it -
The longest lunar eclipse of the century is going to take place this month and this eventually will turn the moon blood red.
Mars would appear brighter than normal because it will pass its closest to Earth for 15 years.
Actually there would be two brighter objects the Moon and Mars. So its actually a great opportunity for photographers . If any of my photographer friend is reading this then he is really lucky.
The eclipse which sees the earth pass between the sun and the moon , will last an hour and 43 minutes in total, and will take place on July 27. Actually we have some time to prepare our camera for it.
It is due to last so long because the moon is at one of its furthest points from the Earth, meaning the shadow the world will cast across it is greater than in a usual lunar eclipse.
The moon will turn red, meanwhile , rather than just disappearing into darkness as might be expected – because of an effect known as Rayleigh Scattering where bands of green and violet light become filtered through the atmosphere. Now I turned this article into a bit mathematical and boring . Don't Worry read on .
It will be viewed best – and for longest – from south east Europe, said Mr Massey. But in south east England, it should still last an hour and 23 minutes beginning at 8.49pm. So people in East Europe are lucky.
In America, you won’t see it at all. LOL
