Astronomers specify that the satellite of the Earth will become a red-orange color on the night of 3 April 4. It is noted that this lunar eclipse will be the shortest similar phenomenon century – a fascinating spectacle will last about five minutes, and will be able to see it in eastern North and west of South America, Asia, India, China and Russia. However, in our country will be visible only to the final phase of the eclipse.
Let us add that the total lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth, Moon and Sun are on the same axis, and the natural satellite enters the shadow cast by our planet. In this case, the moon becomes blood-red color. This is due to the fact that solar rays are tangent to the earth’s surface and then dispersed in the atmosphere, constituting in this case a giant lens according topnews.ru.
Recall, this is the third of four lunar eclipses attributable to a relatively short period from 15 April 2014 to 28 September of this year, writes kp.ru. Previous eclipse, which could see the inhabitants of North America, parts of South America and Asia as well as Australia, took place in October last year. This frequency of unusual astronomical phenomena explained by the position of celestial bodies in the solar system.
