202 1 super blood moon is coming! What's going on here? Are there any astronomical wonders rarer than the blood moon this week?

Tonight on May 26th 19: 09, Super Red Moon will be released soon!

This special name is because it is the result of the simultaneous occurrence of several astronomical phenomena. "Super Red Moon" can be seen almost all over the world, but what you can see depends largely on where you live.

The orbit of the moon around the earth is not a perfect circle, but an ellipse. When the full moon reaches the closest point to our planet in an elliptical orbit, it is called "super moon". Because it is close to the earth, it looks bigger and more beautiful in the sky than usual, so it is "super".

This "super red moon" will appear blood red because it is aligned with the sun and the earth and completely enters the shadow of the earth. This will be the first total lunar eclipse since 20 19. The red color of the moon is caused by orange light refracted through the earth's atmosphere. If there are more clouds or dust in the earth's atmosphere, it will appear redder.

The biggest attraction of this astronomical event is that the super moon and the total lunar eclipse occur at the same time. In the past 10 years, there were only 9 total lunar eclipses. The super moon is not uncommon. They usually appear several times a year.

Fortunately, as long as the sky is clear, almost anyone can see the super moon, but it mainly depends on the local weather. Readers are advised to check the local weather quickly.

Unlike an eclipse, you only need to see the story unfold with your eyes, but if you have a telescope, it will definitely be more refreshing.

If you really want to see the complete and clear "super red moon", observatories and astronomers all over the world will hold live broadcasts, and you can definitely see it.

If you miss this time, there will be another one on the evening of June11August-June 19 this year, but it was only a partial eclipse of the moon, the so-called "bite by the tengu", which was also spectacular, but it is estimated that there was not so much news at that time.
