Full lunar eclipse after 400 years

In the early morning of December 21, the people of North and Central America witnessed a breathtaking total eclipse of 400 years. Since 1638, this is the first time the full lunar eclipse took place on the right day of the winter solstice.

The three-hour real moon can also be observed in several European countries, Australia and East Asia. However, according to experts, in these areas only partial eclipses can be observed. It is also possible to observe this interesting natural phenomenon in Vietnam but only in the final period from 17:30 to 18:00 and is called the half-moon eclipse.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves to half of the Earth without facing the Sun. When the Moon, Earth, and Sun are together or near the same line. The darkness of the Earth will obscure the moon and occur eclipses.
