WARTAKOTALIVE.COM, JAKARTA – How to see the total lunar eclipse and exact time to make it clear.
Total lunar eclipse crosses Indonesia again on Wednesday, May 26, 2021.
Head of the Center for Technical Seismology, Potential Geophysics and Time Signs of the BMKG, Rahmat Triyono, stated that his party uses a telescope combined with detectors and information technology and is disseminated via https://www.bmkg.go.id/gbt.
This total lunar eclipse can be witnessed if the weather conditions are cloudy.
He ensured that the total lunar eclipse was safe for the public to witness with the naked eye without having to use special eclipse glasses.
“At its peak, in most parts of Indonesia, the position of the Moon is close to the horizon in the eastern part, allowing observers to be able to capture the eclipse against the foreground of historical or iconic buildings,” he said.
The community can follow this observation process by accessing https://www.bmkg.go.id/gbt.
Those who are on the coast or seafront (beach) need to be aware of the occurrence of sea tides that are higher than normal tides.
Rahmat further explained that a Total Lunar Eclipse occurs when the position of the Sun-Earth-Moon is aligned.
“This happens when the Moon is in the Earth’s umbra, as a result, when the peak of the total lunar eclipse occurs, the Moon will appear red, known as the Blood Moon,” he told Kompas.com, Friday, May 21, 2021.
