On the night of Sunday to Monday and in the early morning of the first day of the week, we will have the opportunity to observe a unique astronomical event in the sky. A total lunar eclipse will decorate the sky, and thanks to NASA, the entire spectacle can be viewed online.

Total Lunar Eclipse will appear on Sunday night and early Monday morning. This eclipse is called “Blood Moon” due to the fact that during it The Silver Globe takes on a subtle shade of red. The eclipse will be visible over much of the globe. The May Full Moon is in turn called “Flower Moon”because it coincides with spring and is accompanied by profuse flowering.

A lunar eclipse occurs when The Earth will be between the Sun and the Moon and casts a shadow over its natural satellite. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, earth and moon align so that our planet’s shadow completely covers the moon. Then the natural terrestrial satellite usually turns dark red.

NASA prepared the mapthanks to which we will find out from what places on Earth we can observe the lunar eclipse. The individual stages will take place according to the Polish time, respectively:
- beginning of the penumbra eclipse at 3.32,
- beginning of the partial eclipse at 4.28,
- the beginning of the total eclipse at 5.29,
- maximum eclipse at 6.13,
- end of total eclipse at 6.54,
- end of partial eclipse at 7.55,
- end of the penumbra eclipse at 8.51.
