Where will the moon rise in Xichang on November 8?

In the coming November, there will be a wonderful total lunar eclipse, which can be seen by people in most parts of our country. During the total lunar eclipse phase, also known as the "red moon", the farther east you go, the better the observation conditions will be.

The reporter learned from the Beijing Planetarium that the first phase of the total lunar eclipse will occur at 17:09 on November 8, Beijing time, with eclipse at 18:16, eclipse at 18:59, and light at 19:00. 42 minutes, rounded to 20 hours and 49 minutes. Although the whole process of the total lunar eclipse cannot be seen in the entire country, most areas can see the "red moon" phase of the total eclipse, and the first waning phase of the total lunar eclipse can be seen in Northeast China, North China and other regions. In the central and western regions of my country, when the moon rises, the lunar eclipse has already begun, and the "eclipse moonrise" landscape can be seen. For example, in Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou and other places, soon after the moon rises, it will begin to "wane", and this can be seen in various stages until it reaches full circle. In places such as Lhasa and Urumqi in the western region, when the moon rises above the ground, it is already in the total lunar eclipse stage.

It is worth noting that when this total lunar eclipse occurs, there will also be a celestial phenomenon in which the moon occults Uranus. Using a telescope, people can see the process of the moon gradually occluding Uranus. In addition, on the night of November 11, the moon will rise hand in hand with Mars from the northeast, forming a Mars-moon landscape, which is also worth watching.

(Mysterious Earth uux.cn) According to China News Service, Nanjing, November 2 (Reporter Yang Yanci): According to the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on November 1, wonderful celestial phenomena such as total lunar eclipse and Mars conjunction with the moon will appear in the November sky one after another. In addition, the Leonid meteor shower will reach its climax in the Tianyu Theater in the middle and late of this month.

The most anticipated total lunar eclipse this month and one of the most important celestial phenomena in 2022 will be wonderfully staged on November 8. The total phase of the total lunar eclipse will be visible to the public in most parts of China. Among them, the complete process of the total lunar eclipse can be seen in the northeastern region of China, and the eclipsed lunar rise can be seen in the central and western regions.

Astronomers said that in the past few years, there have been many total lunar eclipses around the world. But within China, it is either invisible or the entire process cannot be seen. The last total lunar eclipse that was visible in China dates back to 2018, and the next one will have to wait until 2025.

According to astronomical calculations, the first waning time of this total lunar eclipse is 17:09 Beijing time, the eclipse is at 18:16, the eclipse is at 18:59, the lunar eclipse is at 19:42, and the eclipse is at 20:49 When it is a complex circle, its maximum eclipse is 1.364. From a global perspective, a total lunar eclipse can be seen in all regions except Antarctica, Africa, most of Europe, western Asia and eastern South America.

What is even more rare is that during this total lunar eclipse, when the moon completely enters the umbra, the moon will also occult Uranus. What is different from the past is that this total lunar eclipse occults Uranus during the total eclipse phase. When the moon completely enters the Earth's shadow, its brightness weakens significantly, and Uranus appears brighter. This is a rare sight.

For photography enthusiasts, this Tianyu blockbuster is not to be missed. Experts suggest that during this total lunar eclipse, the Milky Way may be visible at the full moon. As long as you choose an appropriate wide-angle lens, you can display the total lunar eclipse, the stars in the sky, and the Milky Way in the same frame. This is a very rare opportunity.

In addition, on the night of November 11, the moon will rise hand in hand with Mars from the northeast, forming a Mars-moon landscape, which is also worth looking forward to.

In the middle and late months of this month, a meteor shower brought Tianyu’s romantic moment to a climax. The Leonid meteor shower, known as the "King of Meteor Showers", will reach its peak on November 18, with a zenith flow rate (ZHR) of about 20 per hour.

At various observation points around the world, the Leonid meteor shower usually accelerates gradually after midnight and reaches its maximum before dawn. Starting from November 16, a waning moon will appear in the sky, and the moon phase will have some impact on the observation of meteor showers. Interested members of the public can wait for the brightest moment of the wishing meteor in the early morning hours.
