LUNAR PHENOMENON; FOUR PHENOMENA, ONLY ONE NIGHT
I consider myself an inveterate fan of her, I have always fallen in love, not only when I see these shows, but always when I watch her full and resplendent. Venezuela has the happiness of being very well located geographically, that much of the lunar events can be seen, and whenever I can I wait until dawn to see them, it really is something that fascinates me and fills me with rejoicing. But it was only seen in some states of the country, in Zulia it was one of them.
There are four phenomena in a single night what was observed yesterday!
- Super moon
Because the orbit of the moon is elliptical, one side is farthest from the earth and the other side is closer, due to this this satellite is closer to us than other times. The supermoon takes place when it is at its maximum approach and when we have Full Moon.
- Total Lunar Eclipse
This phenomenon occurs because the earth, the sun and the moon are aligned producing a total eclipse of the moon, of the four events this could be said to be the weirdest and most surprising of all.
- Blue Moon
It is given this name because it is the second full moon of the month of January, when two full moons occur in the month they are given this name of blue moon, this occurs approximately every three years.
- Blood Moon
During this phenomenon, the Moon passes behind the shadow of the earth, darkening. The atmosphere of the Earth scatters the blue and green light, letting the red one pass by. During the eclipse, the moon passes through this shadow, and instead of receiving sunlight it will receive the red glow of our atmosphere. This phenomenon gives moon to the moon of blood given this name by the reddish color of the full moon.
Undoubtedly, this was one of the best phenomena we will have this year 2018 .. One of my goals is to have all the necessary photographic equipment to capture Luna whenever you want. The photos in this post are from one of the best photographers in Maracaibo, Andry Rodriguez, who always takes beautiful photos of the Moon, I am fascinated by his work.
This 2018 will happen several lunar and star phenomena, which will follow and share with you. I hope you liked it!
