those who love to study and watch the night sky are preparing for an important event: A full moon (also known as a "blood moon" or "blood moon of the sea") on November 8.
If the weather allows, people can observe this phenomenon with the naked eye anywhere, from Asia to North America. This is also the last time the Earth, Moon and Sun will line up in a few years. A similar incident is not expected until 2025, according to Reuters.
Full authenticity
A total moon full moon occurs when the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun, forming a vertical line that blocks the reflection of sunlight onto the Moon. When this phenomenon occurs, the color of the Moon becomes slightly red, hence the term "blood moon".
Why is it a blood moon?
The red surface of the Moon (The Moon will not completely disappear from view when a full moon occurs) is due to the sunlight around the outer edge of the full moon, which is filtered and reflected when passing through the Earth's atmosphere, indirectly becoming redder when bathing in the Moon.
The "blood" level of the Moon depends on the Earth's atmospheric conditions, changing with the level of air pollution, dust storms, forest fires and even volcanic ash.
How rare is this phenomenon?
According to NASA, the phenomenon of total elimination occurs on average every one and a half years. But the time between each menstrual period will be different. The event on November 8 will mark the second blood moon in 2022. The next event is scheduled for March 14, 2025.
Places where you can see real menses
The Aesthetic on November 8 will be easily observed across regions such as East Asia, Australia, the Pacific and North America. Those who love to see the night sky in Asia and Australia will see it when the moon sets at night, while those who observe North America will see them in the early morning. This phenomenon can be seen with the naked eye anywhere, as long as the sky is clear and there is little air pollution.
The entire menstrual cycle will take place in nearly six hours. Therefore, this will be an opportunity not to be missed by those who love astronomy around the world.
