March 3 will occur a total lunar eclipse

On March 3, total lunar eclipse will occur (the last time this phenomenon happened 2 years ago). In the United States, the area that is best observed is this coastal area in the east.

The true moon occurs when the Moon, in orbit around the Earth, enters the shadow of the Earth. The shadow has two parts, the darker part is inside and the darker half is brighter outside. If the entire Moon goes into the dark part, a total eclipse will occur. If the dark part only covers part of the Moon, the eclipse will be partial.

People in Europe and Africa can also observe this phenomenon. Many scientists also think that in these two areas, the observation is extremely good. However, the east coast of the US will enjoy this phenomenon for the longest and best.

What color will the Moon have during the lunar eclipse? In the past total eclipses, the Moon turned brown, orange, crimson, and red bricks. According to scientists, when a lunar eclipse occurs, there will be a band of shadows because sunlight passes through the Earth's atmosphere and is scattered and becomes red . So this time What color will the Moon have? The answer will be on March 3.

The east coast of North America will witness 75 minutes of this phenomenon. The last time a total eclipse occurred in 2004. (Photo: Roen Kelly)
