Observers in most of the United States will have seats in the front row to the amazing overall lunar eclipse overnight from March 13 to 14. This is what to expect. | Credit: Hassan Ammar/AFP via Getty Images
More than two years have passed since most North America has witnessed a full eclipse of the moon. So be sure to put a large circle on your calendar on Thursday, March 13th.
The circumstances of the total moon eclipse that night will be as good as you can get most of the United States and Canada. The western part of the continent has the best view, but the totally immersed moon scene in the shadow of the Earth will be easily visible from the coast to the coast.
The total period will be longer than usual, and it will last for an hour and 6 minutes.
Moreover, the eclipse should arouse wide attention. Amateur groups should take advantage of these opportunity to alert schools and the media about their eclipse activities and amateur astronomy in general. On the western coast, this event will occur during the evening hours from mid -to comfortable Lati. What about organizing the live Eclipse party?
On the contrary, for those throughout the Atlantic Ocean, the eclipse will be held in the western sky where the moon approaches at dawn on Friday. In fact, across the western parts of Europe and Africa, the moon will put the moon while it is in the total eclipse, while for those who live in New Zealand, as well as those who are hearty who occupy the Chocke Peninsula and Camshatka in East Siberia, the moon will rise on Friday evening, during the total.

None of Skywatcher is not missing Esstol from the moon. This heavenly competition is often more beautiful and interesting than one. During the time when the moon enters and then from the outside of the earth’s shadow, secondary phenomena may be overlooked.
To help prepare for the next Eclipse from 13 to 14 March, Joe Rouz Space.com – A 20 -year -old older warrior has prepared the timeline, including some things that you may expect to see. Perhaps not all of those mentioned because there are no two eclipse themselves exactly.
But a lot of will and those who know what they are looking for have a better opportunity to see it!
In the schedule below, local conditions are provided for eight different time areas. At all times it is intended for PM on March 13, except in Live, This corresponds to AM on March 14. When the police are provided, this means that the moon is lower horizon.
The total eclipse stages of the moon:
1) The moon enters the pinnperra
The shadow cone containing the ground contains two parts: dark omberra, surrounded by a lighter liability. Penumbra is the pale outer part of the earth’s shadow. Although the eclipse officially begins at this moment, it is essentially an academic event. You will not see anything unusual happening to the moon – at least not only. Penumbral shadow of the Earth is so low that it is still invisible until the moon is deeply indulged. We should wait for Penumbra to reach about 70 percent via the moon disk. For approximately 50 minutes, the moon will continue to appear normally, although with each minute it progresses deeper into the outer shade of the Earth.
2) Penumbral shadow begins to appear
Now the moon is largely advanced in Penumbra so that it is clear on the moon’s disk. Start searching for a very light shading to appear on the left part of the moon. This will become increasingly clearer with the passage of minutes, and the shading appears to be spreading and deepening. Before the moon begins directly to enter the dark earth’s shadow of the Earth, Penumbra should appear as a clear stomach or distort the left part of the moon.

3) The moon enters Ambra
The moon now begins to cross into the dark central shade of the Earth, called Umbra. The small dark stroke begins to appear on the lower left end of the moon (southeast). The partial stages of the eclipse begin; The pace of acceleration and dramatic change. Ombra is much darker than Penumbra and its somewhat sharp edges. As the minutes pass, the dark shade appears to sneak slowly across the moon’s face. Initially, it may seem that the tip of the moon completely fades inside Umbra, but later, as it moves in deeper, you may notice that it is glowing orange, red or brown. Also note that the edge of the Earth’s expected shadow on the moon was curved. Below is visual evidence that the Earth is an area, as Aristotle concluded from the lunar eclipse that he noticed in the fourth century BC, it seems as if a pale key is slowly divided into the surrounding landscape and a deep start for the night of a wonderful moon in fading.
4) Covering 75 percent
With three quarters of the moon disk, this part that indulges in the shade should start in the lighting very expensive. . . Similar to a piece of iron it is heated to the point where it just begins to glow. It has now become clear that dark shade is not complete darkness. Using perspectives or telescopes, the outer part is usually light enough to detect the seas and moon, but the central part is much darker, and sometimes the features of the surface cannot be recognized. The colors in Umbra vary greatly from Eclipse to the next. Reds and Grays usually prevail, but sometimes brown, blues and other dyes are faced.
5) Less than five minutes to the total
A few minutes ago (and after) its overall, the contrast spread between the light yellow shrapnel and the remaining brown color on the rest of the moon disk and may result in a beautiful phenomenon known to some as the “Japanese lanterns effect”, a term formulated for the first time by Long Island Peter A.
6) The total eclipse begins
When the end of the moon enters Ambra, the total eclipse begins. How the moon will appear during its entirety unknown. On very rare occasions, some of the eclipse is so dark that the moon almost disappears from view. In other eclipse, bright orange can glow. The reason that the moon can be seen at all when it completely breaks is that the sun’s rays are widespread and broken around the edge of the Earth by Jona. To an astronaut standing on the surface of the moon during its entirety, the sun will be hidden behind a dark land, which is determined by a wonderful red ring consisting of all sunrise and sunset in the world. The brightness of this episode around the Earth depends on global weather conditions and the amount of dust suspended in the air. A clear atmosphere on the ground means bright glossy eclipse. If the main volcanic explosion has injected molecules into the stratosphere during the previous two years, the eclipse is very dark. However, even in writing these lines, no such eruption has occurred since our last lunar eclipse in November 2021, so the bet is that this eclipse will be relatively bright.
7) The middle of the total
The moon now shines anywhere from 10,000 to 100,000 times more accurate than it was just a few hours ago. Since the moon Moving to the north from the center of Umbra EarthThe gradient and brightness across the moon should be so that it seems that the bottom appears to appear darling, with colors of deep copper or brown chocolate. Meanwhile, the upper part-this part of the moon is close to the outer edge of the most brightest Ombra, should appear, with shades of red, orange and even perhaps soft blue white.
Observers will notice that the bright city lights will notice more stars than it was earlier at night.
The moon will be located near the border separating the zodiac towers in Liu and the bride. The darkness of the sky is impressive. Take the landscape surrounding sad colors. Before the eclipse, the full moon looked alone. However, during the total, it will look smaller and 3D-similar to transparent, like some of the strange bright ball hanging in space.
At this moment, the moon shines directly from a point in the Pacific, 1565 miles (2520 km) northwest of the Galapagos Islands.
This image shows the overall eclipse of the moon on September 27, 2015, the darkness and color are included through the moon’s disk. Notice the brightness of the lower left end of the moon (closest to the edge of the earth’s shadow) compared to the upper right end of the moon (closest to the center of the shade). In this eclipse, the moon took a path across the southern part of the Earth Ombra. In the next eclipse, the moon will take a path across the northern part of Ambra, so it is possible that the brighter part of the moon is likely to be above the upper end while the lower end should appear darker. | Credit: Maria Rao
8) The total eclipse ends
The appearance of the moon begins from the shade. The first small part of the moon begins to appear again, following it again in the next few minutes with the effect of the Japanese lantern.
When the moon begins to get out of the dark earth’s shadow, it creates an effect that resembles some with a Japanese lantern. This image of the total lunar eclipse on January 19-20, 2019. Credit: Maria Rao
9) Covering 75 percent
Any coloring residue should disappear inside the Ambra now. From here, ascending, the dark shade systematically crawls from the moon disk and should look black and unique.
10) Leave the moon Ombra
The dark central shade wipes the ends of the moon (western).
11) Penumbral shadow fades
With the disappearance of the last pale shading off the right part of the moon, the optical width ends.
12) Leave the moon pinnperra
The eclipse is “officially” because the moon is completely free of Penumbral shadow.
