Learn the date and exact time of the next total lunar eclipse:
- History: Dawn 13 – 14 March 2025
- Time: The phenomenon will start at 00H57 in the morning, reach the summit at 3:58 and end around 4:31.
In addition to being called Total Lunar Eclipse, the activity is also known as ‘blood bear’. This name was chosen because of the reddish color presented by the moon during the phenomenon, It stems from the disintegration of sunlight in the world atmosphere.
What is Blood Moon?
Often, there is no eclipse in the full moon, because its orbit is associated with the earth and the solar plane. When the Earth is placed between the moon and the sun, it prevents sunlight and its shadow is reflected on the moon.
This phenomenon causes the moon to take a reddish tone due to sunlight and leads to the “Blood Moon” insert.
The name ‘Blood Moon’ has no scientific meaning in astronomy, it is really a reference to the emergence of natural satellite during the total lunar eclipse.
Reddish color is the effect of the disintegration of Rayleigh, a phenomenon in which blue light waves are more dispersed throughout the world atmosphere. The longest waves such as red and orange continue their journey and illuminates the surface of the moon.
“When this happens, the only light that strikes the moon surface comes from the edges of the world atmosphere. The air molecules of the world atmosphere distribute most of the blue light. The remaining light is reflected on the moon surface with a reddish shine and causes the moon to appear red in the night sky, ”he explains.
Total Moon Eclipse in Brazil
The last total lunar eclipse in Brazil took place on May 15, 2022. The last in the world was on November 8, 2022. Now, almost three years later, A new Total eclipse can be observed in some parts of the Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, South America, Africa and Pacific Ocean.
“The moon is moving into the shadow of the world called Umbra. Part of the sunlight passing the worldly atmosphere reaches the surface of the moon and lightly illuminates it. Nas NASA explains.
One of the differentials of the next month’s eclipse is that the moon will be slightly farther than the earth, smaller than normal: This phenomenon is known as Micolua.
For most Brazilian territory, the first stages of the eclipse will begin on March 14, 2025 around 00:57. According to the website Clock and Date– The stage, known as ‘blood bear’, will begin at 3:26 and will reach the summit at 3:58. From there, the reddish effect will begin to decrease until the end of the phenomenon planned for 4:31 o’clock.
How to monitor the total lunar eclipse
Total lunar eclipse will be better observed in places with low light pollution such as inner cities. However, even in large capitals with more artificial lighting, such as São Paulo, it will still be possible to follow the phenomenon.
In this case, the main obstacle may be mood on the day of event, because sky A cloudy or rainy night can make it difficult to observe.
