For the first time in 4 decades, super moon and solar eclipse appeared on Friday 13th

Special phenomenon will occur on 13/7 when super moon, eclipse convergence coincides on Friday the 13th, for the first time in more than 4 decades.

Friday the 13th is considered an unlucky day, however astronomers in the South Pacific region may be eagerly awaiting this Friday on the 13th when a rare phenomenon reappears. after 44 years: a super-big moon covering a part of the sun.

According to National Geographic, in, partial solar eclipse will appear in the sky and can be observed from the southeast coast of Australia, Tasmania, Stewart Island of New Zealand, as well as the northern shore of Antarctica (Antarctica). .

For decades, the inhabitants of the Earth have not been admired, since December 1974.

Our planet traverses the position between the moon and the sun every month, but the solar eclipse occurs only when these three bodies are aligned and the Earth slides through at least one shadow of the moon. For observers on Earth, it is when the moon seems to 'eat' a piece from the sun, sometimes "eating" the whole if it is a total solar eclipse.

When a solar eclipse happens tomorrow (July 13), the Earth will pass through the cone-shaped broad shadow of the moon, called penumbra , and part of the sun will sink into darkness.

Another phenomenon that coincides with eclipse and Friday 13th this time is super dark moon - a new moon appears when the moon is at a point especially close to the Earth in orbit.

Since this trajectory is not perfectly circular, the farthest position will be called apogee and the nearest position is called a perigee. When the new moon or the full moon coincides with the perigee, the size of the observed moon will be larger than normal - the phenomenon is often called the super moon.

According to National Geographic, this new moon will officially arrive at the perigee at 8pm UTC (Vietnam time) , at a distance of about 357,000km with the Earth. This position is about 50,000km closer to the position of apogee two weeks later.

The dark part of the super moon will begin to move through the sun at 1:48 UTC (8:48 in Vietnam), but only in the ocean will this part be observed. In the mainland, the event will start in South Australia around 1pm (local time), sweeping in the east until the end is about 40 minutes later.

The big and small "sun- eaten" part of the sun depends on the exact location of each observer. In Melbourne, Australia will only see part of less than 0.5% of the sun being covered - while in Hobart, Tasmania will see about 3.5% of the sun is covered.

The people at Casey or Dumont d'Urville, Antarctic research stations will see best with about 21% of the sun covered in the main time of the solar eclipse.

To monitor eclipses, viewers should pay attention not to look directly with the naked eye. The best way is to wear protective eyewear or telescope look.

The next more accessible eclipse will take place on August 11, which can be observed in North and Eastern Europe, the North of North America, and Western Asia. While the eclipse coincides with the next Friday, the 13th will not happen until 2080.
