Rare Super Blood moon eclipse to glow red over night sky on January 20. Timings in India, more details here

Anyone who glances up at night sky later this month is in for an unusual sight. On Jan 20, a total lunar eclipse will take place. A lunar eclipse is sometimes referred to as a ‘blood moon’ for reddish hue moon becomes as it passes into Earth’s show.

That same night will be a super moon, which happens when moon reaches its closest point to Earth during its monthly orbit around our planet. That night will also be a full moon. January’s full moon is kwn as “wolf moon.”

result? A trifecta of lunar phemena, which has been dubbed Super Blood Wolf Moon, will all take place on January 20.

“It is a very unusual event, so having all se things happen at same time is t something that you’re going to see again any time soon,” said Director of Ruth Patrick Science Center Gary Senn. “So take vant of it...if you miss it, you might t ever get to see one again.”

While solar eclipse of 2017 was only visible across a swath of United States, Super Blood Wolf Moon will be perfectly visible to everyone in country.

“Basically, when eclipse occurs, entire side of planet that’s on dark side — side that’s at night — will see eclipse,” said Senn.

Dupont Planetarium at Ruth Patrick Science Center of USC Aiken will be hosting a viewing party for eclipse. observatory telescope will be available for use during this event, which is free and open to public.

Starting around 10:30 p.m. that night, curved show of Earth will begin to fall across moon. By time eclipse is in totality — which Senn said will last about an hour — moon, which will be full and may appear up to 14 percent larger than usual, will be fully in Earth’s show.

red color of this show comes from atmosphere, according to Senn. When Earth blocks sunlight from moon, its atmosphere will capture spectrum of colors contained within light.

“Remember R.O.Y. G. B.I.V.?” Senn asked, referencing colors of rainbow taught in school.

Because red light has longest wavelength, it is only color that will escape Earth’s atmosphere and strike moon, which is why moon appears to turn red during a lunar eclipse.

next total lunar eclipse will t be visible to United States until 2021. glasses or special equipment are required to view lunar eclipses.
