What happens during the lunar eclipse or Blood Moon?
The total lunar eclipse generally occurs twice a year, when the Sun, Earth and Moon are perfectly aligned and the Moon is in its full phase.
As it plunges into Earth’s shadow, the Moon loses its whiteness. But it is still visible because the sun’s rays, deflected by the Earth, continue to reach it through “atmospheric refraction,” explains Florent Deleflie, of the Paris-PSL Observatory, to AFP.
During an eclipse, only the Earth can illuminate the Moon through this forwarding of red rays,” adds the astronomer.
The phenomenon can be seen with the naked eye and with a clear sky it is extremely photogenic.
The eclipse will last about five hours and in its total phase – when the star is completely covered by the shadow of the Earth – a little more than an hour.
Florent Deleflie recalls that lunar eclipses have made it possible to demonstrate “since ancient times” that the Earth is round.
On the lunar disk, the boundary between the shadow area and the part illuminated by the Sun is slightly curved: it is the projection of the roundness of the Earth,” he explains.
This Sunday, May 15, observe the eclipse from the Museo Fuego Nuevo; we will have face-to-face interventions by Dr. in Anthropology, Arturo Montero; 12 telescopes and a bus will leave Metro Iztapalapa free of charge, at 9:30 pm and 10:00 pm.
