The eclipse will allow us to see the entire surface of the reddish satellite, hence the popular name of “blood Moon”y It will be the last astronomical event of this type that can be observed well from the southern hemisphere for the rest of the year.

“From 00:33 it will be in fullness”He told Telam Gabriel Brichetto Orqueragraduate in Physics and teacher of the Friends of Astronomy Association of Parque Centenario.
At that time “the moon enters the penumbra, which is the most diffuse part of the shadow, and an hour later it will begin to enter the umbra, which is the densest part of the shadow.”
This phenomenon occurs when the earth stands between the moon and the sun and blocks the light that the latter radiatesgenerating a cone of shadow that, depending on the angle at which the bodies meet, can be more or less “dense” and two sectors are generated: the umbra and the penumbra.
