The Russians will be able to see the longest lunar eclipse in the XXI century‍. The Russians will be able to see the longest lunar eclipse in the XXI century‍ Lunar eclipse in February

On the night of July 16-17, residents of most of Russia will be able to see the so-called partial lunar eclipse. The satellite of our planet in the course of its movement in orbit will plunge into the southern part of the earth's shadow. This will be the last lunar eclipse for the next six years with a significant dimming of the moon, which can be observed from Eastern Europe.

Moon eclipse- this is the moment when the Moon hides in the shadow of the Earth and we do not see it completely (total lunar eclipse) or partially (partial). During this phenomenon, the Earth is located on the line between the Moon and the Sun. During an eclipse, the satellite is painted with a characteristic red tint. This is explained by the fact that the sun's rays reflected from the moon, passing tangentially to the earth's surface, are scattered in the atmosphere of our planet and partially reflected back to the surface of the moon. The Earth's atmosphere is most transparent to the rays of the red-orange part of the light spectrum, which reflects the surface of the satellite.

When to watch a lunar eclipse?

As noted on the website of the Moscow Planetarium, the duration of the shadow eclipse on the night of July 16-17 will be 1 hour 58 minutes.

The main part of the eclipse can be seen starting from 23:00 by Moscow time. At this time, the darkening of the left side of the satellite will already be clearly visible. The moon will begin to sink into the shadow of the Earth.

July 17 at 0:31 Moscow time the maximum phase of a partial eclipse will come. 65 percent of the lunar disk will be in the shadow of our planet. At this point, the reddening of the Moon will be at its maximum. Eclipse will end at 2:00 Moscow time when the satellite is completely out of the Earth's shadow.

Where to watch the lunar eclipse?

According to the Moscow Planetarium, some phases of a partial lunar eclipse will be visible: in most of Europe, most of Asia, Australia, Africa, the southeastern United States, South America, the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean, and Antarctica.

It can be observed on almost the entire territory of Russia, except for the northern and remote eastern regions.

“The best observation conditions will be in the Crimea and the northern Caucasus, where the height of the Moon above the horizon will reach 20 °, and summer weather conditions will most likely favor observations,” the report says.

“It will be clearly visible in the European part of Russia (except for its north), where the eclipse will occur around local midnight. The initial phases of the eclipse will also be visible in southwestern Siberia already in the morning, at moonset. In most of the visibility zone on the territory of our country, the Moon will be located low above the southern horizon, ”the website of the Moscow Planetarium notes.

Subject to cloudless weather, the lunar eclipse will be able to see the residents of Moscow. The Planetarium notes that the eclipse will be visible to the naked eye, but astronomers advise looking through binoculars or small telescope. Not far from the moon plunging into the shadow, Saturn can be seen, and to the right (west) it will be possible to see.

When can we expect the next eclipse?

According to the RIA Novosti agency, citing the head of the observatory of the St. Petersburg Planetarium, Maria Smirnova, the next lunar eclipse with a significant eclipse of the satellite will take place only after 6 years - on September 7, 2025. At this time, the inhabitants of Russia will be able to see a total lunar eclipse. The satellite of the planet will turn completely red.

In the coming year, 2019, earthlings will see three solar and two lunar eclipses. For the first time, the daylight will hide on January 6, on Christmas Eve Orthodox Christmas. But not everyone will see this heavenly phenomenon.

6th January. solar

Partial (that is, partial) solar eclipse on January 6, 2019 will reach its maximum phase at 4:42 Moscow time. It will be seen in the Russian Far East (except for the northern and northwestern regions), in Japan, North and South Korea, in the east of China and Mongolia, in the extreme southwest of Alaska and in the northern zone of the Pacific Ocean. Residents of Southwestern Siberia will not see it.

January 21. lunar

The total lunar eclipse on January 21, 2019 will peak at 8:12 am Moscow time. It will be seen by residents of the central part of the Pacific Ocean, North and South America, Europe, and Africa. In the European part of Russia, the maximum phase will be visible, in the Urals and in Western Siberia - the eclipse will be penumbral, and the inhabitants of Chukotka, Kamchatka and the Far East coast will see its end.

July 2nd solar

It will be full and will peak at 22:26 Moscow time. It will be best seen in the Southeast Pacific, Chile and Argentina. Private will be seen in the South Pacific and South America. It will not be in Russia.

July 17th. lunar

A partial lunar eclipse will occur at 0:31 Moscow time. Almost all of Russia will be able to watch it, with the exception of Chukotka, Kamchatka, and the Far East coast. Also, a celestial phenomenon will be seen in South America, Europe, Asia, Australia.

December 26th. solar

It will be circular. This means that the Moon will completely set on the Sun, but leave its edges visible, the sun's rays will break through the Moon. This happens when the Moon is farther away from the Earth, so it appears to be smaller. A partial eclipse will be visible to residents of Asia and Australia and some parts of Russia, an annular eclipse will be visible to Saudi Arabia, India, Sumatra, Kalimantan. In Russia, a partial eclipse will be observed in the North Caucasus, the Lower Volga region, the Southern Urals, southern Siberia and the Far East. The maximum phase is at 5:18 Moscow time.

Here is the eclipse calendar for 2018-2022. For each year - a separate table, where the date is indicated, Moscow time, the type of solar or lunar eclipse, the degree and sign of the zodiac in which the eclipse will take place, as well as the regions where this phenomenon can be observed.

Eclipses are not uncommon, they happen every year. Solar eclipse occurs on the new moon, when the moon comes between the sun and the earth, partially or completely blocking the sunlight.

Moon eclipse occurs on a full moon when the earth is between the sun and the moon, and the earth casts a shadow on the moon.

The influence of eclipses

Solar eclipses affect more physical health, lunar - on emotions and mental state.

People who are sensitive, emotionally unstable, as well as those who have cardiovascular diseases, are recommended to reduce business activity and relax more on days near eclipses.

Also, eclipses have a greater effect on those people in whose horoscopes important points are affected by an eclipse.

Total lunar eclipse January 31, 2018. Visibility on the territory of the former USSR *

Lunar eclipse January 31 in one form or another could be observed throughout the territory of the former USSR. Fully all its phases were visible in the eastern and central parts of the Russian Federation - in the Far East and almost in the entire Siberian Federal District. For observers in these regions, in order to find out the maximum phase of a total lunar eclipse, it is enough to replace Moscow time in the table with the time of their time zone. So in Khabarovsk and Vladivostok the culmination of the eclipse took place at 23:30, the beginning of the partial eclipse at 21:48, and the beginning total eclipse— at 22:50. Below is the time beginning of private phase, beginning of total lunar eclipse when the moon goes completely into the shadow of the earth and maximum eclipse phase in major cities in the region.

• Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky: 23:48-00:52-01:30;
• Magadan, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk: 22:48-23:52-00:30;

• Khanty-Mansiysk: 16:48-17:52-18:30;

To the west it was impossible to fully observe the beginning of the eclipse - its partial phase before the total eclipse, since in these regions the Moon had not yet had time to rise by the beginning of the eclipse. And the farther to the southwest, the greater part of the eclipse is hidden from the eye of the observer under the horizon line. For this group of settlements, we indicated the start time of the total eclipse, its largest phase, and the end time with the transition to a partial eclipse, when the Moon looks out of the shadow.

• Almaty, Astana, Karaganda ( Kazakhstan), Bishkek, Osh ( Kyrgyzstan): 18:52-19:30-20:08;
• Ekaterinburg, Nizhny Tagil, Perm, Ufa, Chelyabinsk; Dushanbe ( Tajikistan- the whole territory), Tashkent, Samarkand, Andijan ( Uzbekistan): 17:52-18:30-19:08;
• Arkhangelsk, Murmansk: 15:52-16:30-17:08;

Even further to the west there is a band in which a total lunar eclipse is visible, i.e. the disk of the moon is completely closed, but the beginning of the full phase cannot be observed and the moon is at the very horizon line. During the eclipse, the Moon rises higher and the visibility of the final phases of the eclipse is better. In brackets after the name of the city, the time of moonrise is indicated, and at the end of each group of cities in different time zones, the end of the full phase.

• Orenburg (18:01): 19:08;
• Astrakhan(17:48), Samara (17:17), Saratov (17:40), Togliatti (17:18), Ulyanovsk (17:20), Baku (17:56, Azerbaijan): 18:08;
• Moscow(16:59), Volgograd (16:56), Vologda (16:32), Nizhny Novgorod (16:29): 17:08;

And finally, the area where the eclipse is only visible as a partial eclipse at moonrise. In parentheses behind the title locality Sunrise time is local time.

• Velikiy Novgorod(17:12), Krasnodar (17:30), Rostov-on-Don (17:21), Pskov (17:28), Saint Petersburg(17:08). In Kaliningrad, the eclipse is visible only as a partial penumbra - after moonrise at 17:16 local time - Russia;

Total lunar eclipse January 21, 2019. Visibility on the territory of the former USSR **

This eclipse is the only total lunar eclipse in 2019. It is noteworthy that it takes place during the so-called. supermoon - when the full (or new) moon in its elliptical motion around the earth is at the point closest to it. In addition, the "supermoon" during the eclipse became "bloody" - when passing through the penumbra of the Earth, the lunar disk acquired a brownish tint. In Europe, however, it is very difficult to observe the eclipse, since the Moon was located low above the horizon, and the further east, the lower.

Annular solar eclipse on December 26, 2019. Visibility on the territory of the former USSR ****

Annular solar eclipse on December 26 as private in Russia it will be possible to observe in some southern regions and in Primorye. However, the eclipse phase will not be very large. On the territory of the former USSR, the best visibility will be in Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan. But if you are an enterprising person, then this eclipse makes it possible to observe an “almost total” solar eclipse quite accessible, since the maximum corridor also passes through the territory of the United Arab Emirates. It is likely that it will not be difficult to get out into the desert from Abu Dhabi for such a spectacle.
Below is the local time the beginning of the eclipse, maximum phase And end of eclipse in major cities. At the end, the value of the maximum phase of the eclipse, expressed as a percentage, is highlighted in green. The higher the percentage, the more the Moon covers the disk of the Sun.

Penumbral lunar eclipse January 10-11, 2020. Visibility on the territory of the former USSR *

All phases of the eclipse can be observed throughout the former USSR and almost all of Europe. The eclipse will begin at 20:08 Moscow time, reach its maximum phase at 10:02, and end after midnight at 0:12 on January 11. To determine the time of the eclipse for your place of residence, you must take into account the difference with Moscow time. So, for example, in Vladivostok, the maximum eclipse will take place on January 11 at 5:10 am local time.

There will be a total solar eclipse on July 2, 2019. It will be best seen in Chile and Argentina, as well as in the Southeast Pacific Ocean. On the territory of Russia, it will not be possible to observe it.

The eclipse will begin at 21:02 Moscow time at sunrise in the South Pacific, east of New Zealand. The largest phase of the eclipse visible on Earth will occur at 22:23 Moscow time.

The shadow will touch the ground near the Chilean city of La Serena. Then it will move to the southeast. The eclipse will end near Buenos Aires in Argentina. For those who will not be able to watch the eclipse in person, a broadcast is organized on the website NASA .

Today's eclipse will last twice as long as the one in 2017. Residents of Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Paraguay and Uruguay, as well as some regions of Brazil, Colombia, Panama and Venezuela will be able to watch it.

For the sake of the eclipse, celebrities will head to Chile and Argentina - including the astrophysicist and Queen guitarist, founder, former US president and founder of Virgin Galactic. They and about 230 other wealthy astronomers will watch the eclipse from the territory of the elite camp Nomad Eclipse Glamp located northeast of La Serena, which costs up to $ 5,000 to stay.

Among those who want to watch the eclipse - famous actors, including, possibly, Robert Downey Jr. ("Iron Man") and ("Captain America") will arrive in Argentina.

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon completely or partially blocks the Sun from an observer on Earth. It is possible in those cases when the new moon occurs near one of the lunar nodes - the points of intersection of the visible orbits of the Moon and the Sun. The period when the Sun is near the node of the lunar orbit and eclipses can occur is called the eclipse season. It lasts about a month.

Lunar and solar eclipses occur once every six months, the period between them is two weeks.

Five eclipses are expected during 2019. In particular, three solar (private - January 6, full - July 2 and annular - December 26), as well as two lunar (full - January 21 and private - July 17). All eclipses, except for the total eclipse, are available for observation from Russia.

An annular solar eclipse on December 26, 2019 will be visible from the Arabian Peninsula, India and Indonesia.

The band of the annular phase will begin in the territory of Saudi Arabia near the coast of the Persian Gulf. From there, the strip will move southeast through the United Arab Emirates and Oman, then across the Arabian Sea, then across southern India and the northern tip of Sri Lanka, and then through Sumatra, Singapore and Kalimantan. The largest phase of the eclipse will come near Singapore. After Kalimantan, the band of the annular phase, following already to the northeast, will pass along the southern tip of the Philippine Islands and enter the Pacific Ocean. Partial phases of the eclipse will be visible in almost all foreign Asia (except for the western part of Turkey), in former USSR(Transcaucasia, Central Asia, Kazakhstan, most North Caucasus, the Lower Volga region, the Southern Urals, the south of Siberia and the Far East), in the extreme east of Africa, in the northern and western parts of Australia, in the northern part of the Indian and western Pacific Oceans.

The most famous eclipse of the 21st century was the eclipse of August 21, 2017. It was called the "Great American" - the visibility band of the total phase of the eclipse passed through the whole of North America, partial phases of the eclipse were visible on the Chukotka Peninsula.

The maximum duration of the eclipse was two minutes and forty seconds, the width of the lunar shadow on the earth's surface was 115 km.

Not only residents of the United States were able to look at the eclipse - NASA, together with the Stream video platform, launched an online broadcast. For broadcasting in the sky, a network of more than 50 stratospheric balloons equipped with video cameras was organized. They climbed to a height of 30 km.

Bad weather could not have interfered with the broadcast - the stratospheric balloons were above the clouds and were located in different points USA.

In addition to the solar eclipse in July 2019, Russians, including Muscovites, will be able to observe the rings of Saturn and its largest satellite Titan, as the planet will be very close to Earth.

On November 11, another unusual astronomical phenomenon will occur, such things happen about a dozen times in a hundred years. Mercury will line up with the Sun and be seen as a small black dot against a bright star. This phenomenon will last about four hours.

The most beautiful phenomena that most people look forward to is the suppression of the Moon and the Sun. Several centuries ago they were attributed magical properties, they were feared and considered harbingers of the imminent apocalypse. Ancient scientists tried to calculate and group the famous events into cycles, calling them Saros.

• on the long-awaited day, refuse to eat food completely, drink only liquid (preferably clean water);
• an hour before the celestial event, go to the shower, a contrasting body wash is recommended (alternating hot, cold water);
• half an hour before the appearance, drink a glass of water in small sips;
