Super Blood Moon Full Moon Eclipse Will Be Visible in May 2022

Liputan6.com, D.C – One of the most amazing sights on our planet will appear in the sky – lunar eclipse super blood or super blood moon.

In the only full lunar eclipse this year, Earth will be between the Sun and the Moon.

Falling completely into the shadow of the Earth, the Moon will slowly darken before turning red at dusk.

It will be visible to the naked eye before dawn on Monday in most of Europe, while America will get a good view on Sunday evening.

The moon will appear larger than usual because it will be at its closest point to Earth from its orbit, giving it the name Super Moon.

It will also be called the super flower blood moon. In the Northern Hemisphere, the full moon in May is often called the flower month because it coincides with spring flowers.

The only sunlight that reaches the Moon during a full eclipse will pass through the Earth’s atmosphere.

This light will be blood-red in color, from all Earth’s sunrises and sunsets that are reflected onto the Moon’s surface, explains Dr Gregory Brown, astronomer at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London.

“You’re literally going to see every sunrise and every sunset that’s happening around the Earth at once. All that light will be projected onto the Moon,” he told BBC News.

On Monday, western Europe will get a good but brief view as the Moon will set during the eclipse. Look low on the horizon between 0230 and 0430 BST and you’ll see the moon fall into shadow before shining red. This should also be seen in Africa.
