Luna Rossa: here is the time of the lunar eclipse tonight

Tonight our satellite will be colored red: the lunar eclipse, scheduled for the early morning hours, will give the Moon a strange red color. clearly thelunar eclipse it will have a peak of maximum visibility: there is a specific time to see the satellite at the most appropriate time in the sky.

There Moon it will begin to eclipse at 3:32 a.m., while a partial eclipse will be visible at 4:20 a.m. The best time, however, remains the peak, which will occur from 5:30 AM to 6:50 AM. While the show will be visible from Italy, the eclipse will begin from North America, and the event will have maximum visibility, especially in United States and throughout the South America

But what makes this solar eclipse really special is that the Moon today it will be close to perigee, the minimum distance between the satellite and Earth), and for this reason it will appear larger and thus more visible.

There Moon it will completely enter the shadow cone created by the earth at 5:29 am and will reach its peak at 6:11 am: for this reason, even if there will be the Superluna, the solar eclipse in Italy will only be visible from the entrance in the shadow cone total to 5.51, the time when satellite sunset is expected.

If you miss this solar eclipse, remember that the Moon it will also be in this state on November 8, but this time it will not be visible from Italy (so mark the date only if you are in the places where you can see it).

The solar eclipse can also be followed, if not with the naked eye, on the Virtual Telescope Project: the show starts at 3:32 am (time of the moon’s entry into the shadow cone), and you can see it from the perspective directly from Italy (Rome) as well as from that of America.
