When does the total eclipse of the red moon begin to appear? How long can the total eclipse be watched? How does the total eclipse form? Let's take a look at these questions with Xiaobian.
When does the 'Red Moon' begin
1. The penumbra phase of this eclipse began at about 18:51 p.m. Beijing time on January 31.
At 2.19:48, the moon's' initial loss', at this time, the moon began to enter the earth's umbra region, which is the scene of partial eclipse in front of people.
At about 3.20:52, the moon entered the earth's umbra, that is to say, eating already. At this time, the moon officially entered the stage of total eclipse.
4. At about 21:30, the center of the moon is the closest to the center of the earth's umbra, which is "food".
At about 5.22:08, the moon began to walk out of the earth's umbra, which is also called "light". This is the end of the most exciting total eclipse phase of the eclipse.
At 6.23:11, the moon just came out of the earth's umbra, which is called "roundabout". After that, until about 0:10 a.m. on February 1, the moon was still in the penumbra of the earth for nearly an hour.
How long can total eclipse be watched
1. The sunlight is refracted by the earth's atmosphere, so there is red light, which will shine on the surface of the moon.
2. In this way, we can still see a red moon at the middle stage of total eclipse. If the weather is good, the red moon will be very obvious.
3. The so-called "Red Moon" refers to the period from "eating" to "lighting" in the process of total lunar eclipse. The moon does not disappear in our sight, but presents a mysterious and elegant bronze color, so people call it "Red Moon".
4. The "Red Moon" phase will last for 1 hour and 16 minutes, which provides a very good opportunity for people to enjoy the moon.
5. Due to the different time when the moon rises from the horizon in the eastern and western regions of China, there are very few areas in the western part of China. On the night of the 31st, we can see the scene of eclipse with the moon, which is also worth watching.
