In 2013, twice admired the lunar eclipse

In 2013, Vietnamese astronomers will twice have the opportunity to admire the eclectic astronomical phenomenon, according to Dang Vu Tuan Son, Chairman of Vietnam Young Astronomy Club.

The first eclipse took place on the evening of April 25, as part of the eclipse. A wide range of countries including Africa, America, Australia and most of Asia, including Vietnam, can fully observe this phenomenon.

This is considered the most remarkable astronomical event in 2013 in Vietnam. The second eclipse took place on the evening of October 18. At that time, the Moon enters the dark half shadow of the Earth and gradually changes to a light red. This half-moon eclipse can be observed in Vietnam at sunset on October 18.

Also this year, C / 2012 S1 , the most expected comet in 2013, will approach the Sun most on November 28 with a distance of just 1.2 million kilometers. At that time, C / 2012 S1 will reach a great brightness, according to many astronomers' guess, may be larger than the Moon.

In Vietnam it can be observed from mid-November at dusk and early December before dawn.

Astronomers can also admire many meteor shower periodically. This year, one of the two largest meteor showers in the year, meteor shower Perseids, peaked at night 12, dawn, August 13, can be easily observed after midnight.

However, the Geminids meteor shower, which is also the largest of the year, reaches its peak on December 14, and is harder to observe than every year because of the Moon's influence.

In 2013, many planets in the solar system reunited. On the night of May 28, Kim Tinh and Moc Tinh met in the sky, forming two shimmering lights.

On the night of June 23, the Moon returned to the Earth to create a super moon at 1834 (Vietnam time). December is the time when Venus has reached the highest position and the biggest brightness in the sunset sky at the end of the year.
