Moon eclipse

Lunar eclipse July 27, 2018 will be a very special phenomenon for several reasons. Check why you can not miss it! Here are 5 important facts about today's lunar eclipse.

The total lunar eclipse will take place this evening, July 27, 2018. This will be an extraordinary phenomenon that you only see in your life once. The weather over many regions of Poland is lucky to announce that watching the eclipse will be successful. To watch this beautiful spectacle, you do not need any equipment, but by telescope it will certainly be even more delightful. It is worth adding that the Copernicus Science Center in Warsaw, especially for the eclipse, provides visitors with equipment. Another equally long eclipse will be observed only in 2123.

Total lunar eclipse 27.07: what time?
Here are five important facts you need to know about today's lunar eclipse.

1. The lunar eclipse will start around 20.30 (depending on the region of Poland it may be slightly earlier or later).

2. The total phase will take place around 21.30 and will last one hour and 43 minutes . Then gradually the Moon will begin to emerge from the shadows.

3. The maximum eclipse phase will be 22.22 hours.

4. Eclipse July 27 will be the longest lunar eclipse in 100 years.

5. The uniqueness of the eclipse is also added by the fact that we will also deal with the so-called bloody moon. The Earth satellite will turn red. This will be visible already in the full eclipse phase and will last until around midnight. The phenomenon of the bloody moon is related to the fact that the satellite enters the shadow of our planet, which causes more light filtered by the Earth's atmosphere.

The total lunar eclipse is best viewed live, directly looking at the sky, but if for some reasons you can not do it or disturb your clouds, check out the eclipse online stream that will be available on the internet. More information below.

Of course, the eclipse of the moon has come to an end, but I'm just writing curiosities and I do not forget about Saturday and Sunday evenings, because there will be a beautiful evening of shooting stars!
