Montreal, Canada Montreal, The original LOHAS Montreal, Canada reported on May 4 that in May, most parts of Canada will have the opportunity to see an extremely rare "blood moon total eclipse". Lunar eclipse duration breaks 15-year record! Hurry up and mark up.
According to The Narcity report, there will be a lunar total eclipse spectacle over Canada in May this year, and what is more powerful is that this time it is also a "blood moon", the moon will appear red on the night, and the two astronomical landscapes will be two-in-one, which is absolutely quite rare!
It is predicted that the "blood moon total eclipse" will occur on the night of May 15 to May 16. In almost all parts of Canada, the full phase of the lunar eclipse can be observed with the naked eye.
EarthSky notes that the total lunar eclipse lasted nearly 1.5 hours because the full moon just crossed the center of the Earth's shadow axis, and such lunar eclipses tend to have the longest total phase.
The Weather Network said it would be the longest total lunar eclipse observed in Canada since 2007, breaking a 15-year record!
Not only that, during this lunar eclipse, the moon will also pass through Libra, so observers can not only see the moon turn red, but also see it surrounded by Libra stars, which is beautiful.
Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses can be safely observed with the naked eye, and small partners who want the best observation effect can use two-way telescopes to improve clarity, but without these devices, as long as the weather conditions permit, ordinary people can also directly and clearly see the moon discoloration and the entire process of lunar eclipses.
In Montreal and eastern Ontario, the lunar eclipse begins at 11:29 p.m. on May 15, and the lunar eclipse peaks at 12:11 a.m. on May 16.
Lohas Jun looked at the weather forecast in Montreal these two days, May 15 is a sunny day, May 16 has precipitation, is not known whether the rain will appear at night, affecting the observation of lunar eclipses.
In addition to Montreal, lunar eclipse observations can also be made in other parts of Canada.
You can read the original text to see if the area where you live can observe the lunar eclipse.
in a word! Lohas Jun reminds you that Montreal friends should arrange in advance and do not forget to observe the lunar eclipse on the night of May 15th!
