Washington, September 1. - A striking total lunar eclipse will turn the Moon red for 82 minutes between September 7 and 8, according to the astronomy news site starwalk.space.
In this telescope-free astronomical event, the Earth lies between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow over the natural satellite at the same time as the September Full Moon.
The approaching Blood Moon is described in reviews as a rare celestial event that will turn this star red.
It will turn from a silvery hue to a reddish-orange as it enters Earth's darkest shadow. This will be the second and last lunar eclipse of the current year, following the one that occurred on March 14.
Astronomy sites note that the eclipse will not be visible from the Americas, but can be seen in its entirety from parts of Australia, India, Central Asia, parts of Russia, Japan, and East Africa.
Millions of people will also be able to appreciate at least part of the phenomenon from Europe, Asia, eastern Australia, Africa, and New Zealand, according to the source. (PL) (Photo: Taken from the Internet)
