On the night of September 28 inhabitants of the earth will see the “bloody moon” – RBC

On the night of September 28 and the morning of September 29 inhabitants of the earth will witness this celestial phenomenon as the “bloody moon”, reports CNN.

This is the name of the celestial phenomenon is due to the fact that the moon, plunging into the shadow of the Earth, changes its color from yellow to reddish-brown. This is because Earth’s atmosphere scatters blue light more than red light, and it is this red light that reaches the surface of the moon, gives such an effect, said Bi-bi-si. Celestial phenomena will be possible thanks to the combination of a lunar eclipse with Supermoon, when the moon will pass closest to Earth portion of its elliptical orbit. This coincidence is quite rare, the last time this happened in 1982.

«This is a great spectacle in the night sky,” – says astronomer Mark Adler Planetarium in Chicago Hemmergren. “This is a way to interact with the universe as a whole. It gives us the opportunity to see more than what we are concerned about in our daily lives, “- he added.

celestial phenomena can be observed in most parts of South America, the eastern United States, Greenland, West Europe, Africa north of the equator and Antarctica. Also, the live broadcast of the eclipse will lead NASA TV.

The head of the complex astronomical

planetarium Jaroslav Turilov said in an interview with Tass that in Russia it will be able to observe the inhabitants of the European part and Western Siberia. In Moscow, the full phase of the eclipse will be visible almost completely. “Despite some ominous name, any negative impact or effect on our lives is an astronomical event can not be held”, – concluded the scientist.
