Decoding eclipse phenomenon, eclipse appears in the month

NASA experts said that the eclipse, eclipse occurs in the same month is available but very rare.

>> 2011 set a record for eclipses and eclipses

Why is it true that eclipses can take place in the same month?

As reported, at 09:36 GMT (about 16:36 minutes Vietnamese time) on March 20, the total solar eclipse will take place in the European region.

According to experts, this total solar eclipse will cover up to 90% of sunlight in Europe and is considered to be Europe's largest total solar eclipse since 1999. As expected, eclipse phenomenon This whole section will last about more than 2 minutes.

The best observation position is that this solar eclipse is in the Faroe Islands of Denmark, the next good location is Iceland and the United Kingdom. Friends in the rest of Europe, northern Africa, western Russia and Central Asia will observe a solar eclipse with less sun covered. Unfortunately, in Vietnam you will not observe the total solar eclipse this time.

More specifically, this total solar eclipse event will appear with the super moon . Because 12 hours before the solar eclipse begins, the Moon will be at the closest position to Earth (near the point) on elliptical orbit around the planet and everyone will have the opportunity to admire both the super moon and the eclipse that appears together. .

Many of you wonder if there are ever three obscurations (including eclipses, eclipses) that appear together in a solar calendar month? NASA experts have answered this question, according to them, this may happen but very rarely.These three phenomena that appear in a lunar month are more common, from 2000 to 2050, it happens 14 times.

According to Fred Espenak expert working at NASA: The obscured Sun phenomenon appeared 3 times in a calendar month only stopped at 12 times during the period from 1801 to 2300. The number of solar eclipse phenomena and the lunar eclipse or the half-moon eclipse and the annular eclipse that appears in a calendar month is 6.

The last time three obscure phenomena appeared in a calendar month was in 2000 , when two partial eclipses and a total solar eclipse took place. That is:

1. July 1, 2000: partial eclipse.
2. July 16, 2000: Total lunar eclipse.
3. July 31, 2000: partial eclipse.

Before 2000, the last three phenomena occurred in one calendar month was in March 1904, when two half-moon eclipses appeared with an annular eclipse. Specifically:

1. March 2, 1904: Half-moon eclipse.
2. March 17, 1904: An eclipse of the annular.
3. March 31, 1904: Half-moon eclipse.

After 2000, these three phenomena appeared together in December 2000. That is:

1. December 1, 2206: partial eclipse.
2. December 16, 2206: Total lunar eclipse.
3. December 30, 2206: partial eclipse.

As for the lunar month, three obscurations will appear in a more common way. In fact, from 2000-2050, eclipses and eclipses took a total of fourteen times. Six times the solar eclipse and the lunar eclipse appeared in 2000, 2011, 2018, 2029, 2036 and 2047. Eight times two eclipses and one eclipse took place - that was in 2002, 2009, 2013, 2020, 2027, 2031, 2038 and 2049.

The last time that three obscured phenomena occurred in a lunar month was in 2013:

1. April 25, 2013: Partial eclipse.
2. May 10, 2013: The solar eclipse advises
3. May 25, 2013: Half-moon eclipse.

Before 2013 , these three phenomena last took place in 2011:

1. June 1, 2011: partial eclipse.
2. June 15, 2011: Full lunar eclipse.
3. July 1, 2011: partial eclipse.

After 2013, three obscurations in a lunar month will occur in 2018 . Specifically:

1. July 13, 2018: partial eclipse.
2. July 27, 2018: Total lunar eclipse.
3. August 11, 2018: partial eclipse.

With this statistics, astronomers will have a more specific view to predict the occurrence of eclipses and eclipses in the future.
