On Tuesday, November 8, the second total lunar eclipse of the year will occur, and it will be the last total lunar eclipse until 2025.
The astronomical event, which occurs when the Earth stands between the Sun and the Moon, will begin in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
The partial eclipse will begin at 3:09 am CST (same time as in central Mexico), peaking at 4:16 am and ending at 5:42 am.
During the eclipse, the shadow of our planet covers the Moon, turning reddish due to the refraction, filtering, and dispersion of light by the Earth's atmosphere, and that is why it ends up shining on our Moon with a light ghostly red.
The phenomenon, also known as the Blood Moon, will be visible in East Asia, Australia, Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central America, and Colombia, as well as in some areas of Peru and Venezuela.
On the other hand, in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Europe the eclipse will not be visible.
During the height of the eclipse, the Moon will be 390,653 kilometers away, according to NASA scientists, and Uranus will be visible above the Moon as a bright star.
It should be noted that the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, and the Virtual Telescope Project, based in Italy, will offer a live broadcast of the lunar eclipse.
Through YouTube, via Time and Date, the eclipse will also be available to anyone who wants to see this phenomenon.
