On the night of Loy Krathong, November 8, 2022, there will be a lunar eclipse. or lunar moon which can be seen in North America, Central America and much of Asia. including Thailand which if you lose this time It will not be seen until 2025.
depending on the time zone Some countries will see the moon turn red. also known as Luna Rossa
The moon in this phenomenon is known as blood. caused by the total lunar eclipse The shadow of the Earth completely obscures the sunlight. But there are still some that pass through the Earth’s atmosphere to reach the moon. by filtering the blue light until we see the moon as a faint red, blood-like color.
This Total Lunar Eclipse This is the third time in 2022 and it will happen for 85 minutes if you don’t watch this time. The next lunar eclipse will occur in 2025 or another 3 years.
The National Astronomical Research Institute said the total lunar eclipse will occur between 3:02 pm and 8:56 pm In Thailand, the moon will appear above the eastern horizon at 5.44 pm, so the first phase of the phenomenon cannot be observed. and will begin to be evident During the total lunar eclipse It can be seen with the naked eye in all regions of Thailand from 17:44 onwards
during the total eclipse The moon appeared in the blood. It will happen at 18:41, for a total of 57 minutes.
How many types of eclipses are there?
in general Eclipses are caused by the orbit of the Moon and the Earth around the Sun. When the Earth and the Moon are on the same plane, darkness and shadows from the sun can occur.
“There are usually two types of eclipses: lunar eclipses and solar eclipses,” said astronomer Juan Carlos Beamin. Autonomous University of Chile science communication center said in his recently published book Illustrated Astronomy.
During a total lunar eclipse Part of the sunlight is filtered out by the Earth’s atmosphere. until you see the moon turn orange
Lunar eclipse
Lunar eclipse Occurs when the Earth is in the intermediate position between the Moon and the Sun. Making the moon pass into the shadow of the earth The solar eclipse (Solar Eclipse) occurs when the Moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun. the shadow of the moon on the earth
Lunar eclipses can be classified into 3 subtypes: total lunar eclipses, partial lunar eclipses. and penumbra lunar eclipse
Total lunar eclipse It occurs when the Earth’s shadow obscures most of the sunlight that shines on the moon. Since the diameter of the Earth is four times larger than that of the Moon, however, some light can penetrate the Earth’s atmosphere to reach the Moon. This phenomenon causes blue light to filter out. until we see the moon as red as blood
Partial lunar eclipse It occurs when only a part of the lunar surface enters the shadow of the Earth. It can happen more easily than a total lunar eclipse. and often occurs at least twice a year Shadows that form on the moon’s surface can appear from rusty red to ash gray. depending on the degree of that lunar eclipse
Penumbral lunar eclipse caused by the passage of the moon in the terrestrial penumbra which is a shadow that is brighter than the shadow and is not as clear as the more the surface of the moon enters the penumbra, not so much. It will be even more difficult to notice. Therefore, this phenomenon is rarely reported to the general public.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is in an intermediate position between the Moon and the Sun.
Solar eclipse
There are also three types of eclipse: total solar eclipse, annular eclipse and hybrid eclipse. There is also a stellar eclipse. Even outside the solar system
Total solar eclipse The apparent size of the Sun is smaller than the apparent size of the Moon. causing the observer to cover the entire moon with the sun
Annular eclipse appearing smaller than the apparent size of the sun making the sun observer look like a ring
Partial solar eclipseA type of solar eclipse in which the moon partially obscures the sun. making the dented sun visible The observer saw the sun appear in a crescent.
