Is the total lunar eclipse in the east or west? In which direction is the total lunar eclipse in

China Broadcasting Network, Beijing, December 10 (Reporter Liu Le) According to the Voice of China's "CCTV News", the most perfect total lunar eclipse in 10 years will be staged this evening. At that time, as long as the weather is clear, almost all regions of our country can enjoy the charming scene of a "red moon" hanging high in the night sky. What will be the process of this total lunar eclipse?

How can the public observe it?

Moderator: Why is tonight's total lunar eclipse the most perfect in 10 years?

Reporter: The total lunar eclipse is not perfect, mainly depends on the observation conditions. This total lunar eclipse is the best total lunar eclipse in China since January 10, 2001, so it is a once-in-a-decade event.

The reason why the observation conditions are good is mainly based on two aspects: first, the total lunar eclipse can be observed in almost the entire territory of China, which is also the biggest feature of this total lunar eclipse; Second, the time of the total lunar eclipse is suitable for the public to observe in China, and the entire process of the total lunar eclipse can be appreciated.

This lunar eclipse not only lasted for a long time, but also happened on Saturday, and it occurred in the first half of the night, coupled with the high rate of sunny days in winter and good atmospheric transparency. If the local weather is good, you can clearly see the whole process of the lunar eclipse.

Reporter: According to experts from the Beijing Planetarium, the total lunar eclipse began at 19:33 Beijing time, the first loss was at 20:45, the eclipse was at 22:06, the time of light was 22:57, and the circle was at 0:17 the next day. One of the more exciting parts will start at 20:45.

And the "Red Moon", which was completely "eaten", was only about 51 minutes.

Some people have asked why the lunar eclipse is red instead of black, and relevant experts explain that because the red light with a longer wavelength is not easily scattered by the earth's atmosphere, the moon will also turn red during a total lunar eclipse.

As for observation, it is beautiful to observe the total lunar eclipse directly with the naked eye, just find a window with a relatively open east and south side. You can also use binoculars and small astronomical telescopes to see more details. If the weather is bad, it is much better to observe through binoculars.

Of course, we should also remind friends who observe outdoors that they must pay attention to cold protection and warmth.

For the public who love astrophotography, experts recommend that it is best to use a lens with a longer focal length when shooting, fix the camera with a tripod, pass the shutter release, and increase the ** time appropriately.

It is understood that the next total lunar eclipse will occur in 2014, but the whole process will not be seen, and the opportunity to see the whole process of the total lunar eclipse will have to wait until 2018.

I heard that it seems to be in a southeasterly location.

The lunar eclipse begins on the eastern side of the Moon and ends on the western side of the Moon.

The Northern Hemisphere looks to the left because the Moon rotates from west to east. There are three types of lunar eclipses: partial lunar eclipses, total lunar eclipses, and penumbral lunar eclipses. A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon enters only part of the Earth's umbra, and the diameter of the Earth's umbra is still twice that of the Moon.

Lunar Eclipse Classification. There are three types of lunar eclipses: partial lunar eclipses, total lunar eclipses, and penumbral lunar eclipses. A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon enters only part of the Earth's umbra; And when the entire Moon enters the Earth's umbra, a total lunar eclipse occurs.

As for the penumbral lunar eclipse, it means that the moon only passes over the penumbra of the earth, causing a very slight decrease in the brightness of the lunar surface, and it is difficult to see the difference with the naked eye.

There is no annular lunar eclipse. Since the Earth's umbra is much larger than the Moon's, this also means that during a total lunar eclipse, the Moon will completely enter the Earth's umbra zone, so there will be no annular lunar eclipse.

The lunar eclipse must have occurred around the 15th day of the lunar calendar. When the moon enters the penumbra of the earth, it should be a penumbral eclipse, but because its brightness is weakened very little and it is not easy to detect, it is not called a lunar eclipse.

The total lunar eclipse is in the eastern direction. Ends on the west side. The lunar eclipse begins in the east; The solar eclipse is the beginning of the west.

The reason is that the moon orbits the earth from west to east. So during a lunar eclipse, the Moon is the first to enter the Earth's shadow in the east. During a solar eclipse, the shadow of the moon begins to "swallow" the sun from the west.

Total lunar eclipse (total lunar eclipse), an astronomical term, is a kind of lunar eclipse, when the moon, the earth, and the sun are completely in a straight line, the earth is in the middle, and the entire moon enters the shadow of the earth, and the surface of the moon turns dark red, forming a total lunar eclipse.

For example, on October 8, 2014, a "total lunar eclipse" was staged in the sky, and the moon did not disappear, but became a mysterious and beautiful "red moon". The total lunar eclipse began at 17:14 on the evening of the 8th, and lasted about 3 hours and 20 minutes from the initial waning to the reunion. On the night of April 4, 2015, there was a total lunar eclipse in the sky.

The time of the initial loss was 18:15 on the 4th; The time of the meal is 19:54; The time of eating is 20:00; The time of light is 20:06; The time of the reunion is 21:45.

Among them, the most exciting total eclipse phase lasted 12 minutes, which is also the shortest total lunar eclipse in 134 years. In 2018, China entered a period of total lunar eclipses, with total lunar eclipses occurring on the night of January 31 and the early morning of July 28. On May 26, 2021, the "Supermoon + Red Moon + Total Lunar Eclipse" group was unveiled.

On May 16, 2022, according to Xinhua News Agency, the first total lunar eclipse was staged in Tianyu, but unfortunately, it was daytime in China when this total lunar eclipse occurred, and the public could not see the "red moon". Astronomical science experts said that on November 8, the second total lunar eclipse of the year will be more observable.

Genesis. In the agricultural wheel of the calendar.

Ten. 5. 16. The moon moves in the opposite direction to the sun. At this time, if the center of the Earth and the Moon are roughly in the same straight line, the Moon will enter the Earth's umbra and produce a total lunar eclipse. During a lunar eclipse, the direction of the Sun and the Moon differs by 180° for the Earth, and since the orbits of the Sun and the Moon in the sky, called the ecliptic and the white path, respectively, are not in the same plane, but have an intersection angle of about 5°, only the Sun and the Moon are located near the two intersections of the ecliptic and the white path, respectively, and have the opportunity to form a straight line and produce a total lunar eclipse.

No. It is the world that sees the beginning of the lunar eclipse at the same time and the end of the lunar eclipse at the same time. Although lunar eclipses and solar eclipses occur when the sun, the earth, and the moon form a straight line, the shadow of the earth is much larger than the shadow of the moon, and the diameter of the moon is much smaller than that of the earth.

So as long as the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow, people in the hemisphere who can see the Moon will see the Moon meet the Earth's shadow at the same time (referring to Greenwich Mean Time) and see the Moon leave the Earth's shadow at the same time.

A lunar eclipse is a special astronomical phenomenon in which when the Moon moves to the shadow part of the Earth, the area between the Moon and the Earth will be blocked by the Earth's rays, and the Moon will be missing a piece of the Moon.

The Sun, Earth, and Moon at this time happen to be (or almost) in the same straight line. Lunar eclipses can be divided into three types: partial lunar eclipses, total lunar eclipses, and penumbral lunar eclipses. Lunar eclipses can only occur around the 15th day of the lunar calendar.

The lunar eclipse begins on the left. When the Moon first comes into contact with the penumbra, it is called the beginning of the penumbral eclipse, which is imperceptible to the naked eye. The process of the official lunar eclipse is divided into five stages: initial loss, eclipse and clear the shed, eclipse and eclipse, regenerate light, and recuperate.

A lunar eclipse is a special astronomical phenomenon in which when the Moon moves to the shadow part of the Earth, the area between the Moon and the Earth will be obscured by the Earth's rays, and a piece of the Moon will be missing.

At this time, the sun, the earth, and the moon happen to be in the same straight line. Lunar eclipses can be divided into three types: partial lunar eclipses, total lunar eclipses, and penumbral lunar eclipses. Lunar eclipses can only occur around the 15th day of the lunar calendar.

The magnitude of the lunar eclipse is indicated by the eclipse. The eclipse is equal to the ratio of the apparent diameter of the moon to the apparent diameter of the moon when it enters the umbra at the time of eclipse.

When the eclipse is like the moon and the umbra incision, the eclipse is equal to 1. When the eclipse is like the moon going deeper into the umbra, the eclipse is represented by a number greater than 1. A total lunar eclipse is an eclipse greater than or equal to 1.

Chinese folklore says that the tengu eats the moon, so what is the total lunar eclipse?
