Washington. A penumbral lunar eclipse will be visible between the night of Sunday the 24th and the early hours of Monday the 25th throughout America, West Africa, Europe and Oceania, the American Astronomical Society announced today.
According to data from that entity, the eclipse will last four hours and 37 minutes, and will leave 96 percent of the lunar diameter in darkness, and will end after having been visible in the last phases in America and Oceania.
This type of eclipse occurs when the full Moon, the Earth and the Sun are aligned and the Earth’s satellite enters the Earth’s twilight zone. When this happens, the Moon stops receiving sunlight because the Earth blocks the sun’s rays, so its luminosity drops and it looks a little dark.
The next eclipse, which will take place on April 8, will be a total solar eclipse in Mexico, the center of the United States and eastern Canada, and a partial eclipse in North America and Central America, which can also be observed with these characteristics from the west of Cuba.
The next partial sunset is planned for the Moon after summer, exactly on September 8 of this year.
According to astronomical forecasts for this Monday, the March full moon or worm moon, as it is popularly known, is also announced, with a high point around 8:12 GMT.
Its origin focuses on the first border settlements in the United States, the arrival of spring and the melting of snow in the mountains due to the heat.
Attached to this entire new station, a particular breeding ground is generated on the earth’s surface for the proliferation of worms and worms, hence the term Worm Moon.
