The lunar eclipse is called the “super blood moon” lunar eclipse by some people, and this is why.

First of all, this is a “super moon”, the term has become more and more popular in the past decade. “Super Moon” refers to the full moon closest to the Earth in its monthly orbit. (This is not a term used by astronomers, although many people choose to use it in abduction.) With the naked eye, it is difficult to see the difference in size between the average full moon and this full moon.

Secondly, the “Farmer’s Yearbook” gives a name to the full moon of each month. In this case, the moon in May is the “flower moon” due to the time of the year when the flowers begin to bloom.

Finally, the “blood moon” refers to the color that the moon can rotate when it is wholly or completely in the shadow of the earth.

The earth actually has two shadows, a penumbra (which is faint) and a umbra. However, when the moon passes through the penumbra, the human eye can barely detect it.

The solar eclipse on Wednesday can be seen in the Pacific Ocean and most of Australia, New Zealand and Fiji.

A total lunar eclipse has several phases, starting with the penumbra, then the parts, and then the whole. When the moon moves out of the umbra, the phase is opposite.

Local time

In Canada, the lunar eclipse will start in the east at the beginning of the lunar eclipse. All visible will be penumbra, which you may not be able to recognize.

In other parts of Canada, you must wake up very early to see any solar eclipses.

The moon enters the penumbra at 8:47 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time, used for all astronomical events) or 4:47 AM Eastern Time, but you may hardly notice it.

Part of the stage starts at 9:45 EST. For people in the east, the moon will be below the horizon.

For visitors to Manitoba and the western region (and also the Northwest Territories), you will get a better view than central Ontario. For those in Ontario, the moon will be low on the horizon, looking like a silver bar is being lost.

• Winnipeg: Part of the phase starts at 4:44 am local time, but the moon will be set at 5:37 am
• Edmonton and Calgary: Part of the phase starts at 3:44 am; the whole starts at 5:11 am and ends at 5:25 am The moon falls at 5:42 am
• Vancouver: Part of the phase starts at 2:44 am; the overall starts at 4:11 am and ends at 4:25 am The moon falls at 5:26 am

For those who may want to catch it and may have clouds, you can always pass Virtual telescope project, Timeanddate.com Or with Lowell Telescope’s YouTube channel.

If you missed this lunar eclipse, you can see the next lunar eclipse on November 19. Although technically it is considered a partial lunar eclipse, only one silver bar will remain outside of the umbra, so for all intents and purposes, it looks like the entire moon. eclipse.

In addition, when June 10th is approaching, Annual solar eclipse, The moon there will only partially cover the sun.
