The total lunar eclipse

The Moon is the only natural satellite orbiting the Earth. When it gets into the shadow of the Earth, a lunar eclipse occurs. Because the Earth’s shadow can be either an umbra or a penumbra, a lunar eclipse becomes a total one once the Moon gets into the Earth’s umbra. When this takes place, the atmosphere scatters blue light, a short-length wave and refracts red light, a long-length wave, which makes the Moon look reddish during the lunar eclipse and makes the Moon earn this name, Blood Moon. The total lunar eclipse on May 26 is available islandwide at 18:31. When the Moon rises in the East, first contact or the beginning of eclipse will have started already. Second contact or interior ingress is at 19:09, meaning the total moon being in the umbra (a reddish moon). At 19:19 is mid totality, the moon being in the central umbra or in the middle way of the eclipse. At 19:28 is third contact, the beginning of recovery. Leaving the Earth’s umbra, the Moon has a gray eastern side, signifying the end of the total lunar eclipse. At 20:52 is fourth contact, the Moon outside the umbra completely. The partial eclipse is now over. At 21:51 is the end of penumbral eclipse. The time of the lunar eclipse will last 3 hours and 20 minutes, including 2 hours and 22 minutes (the umbral eclipse), able to be observed by the naked eye. Since a lunar eclipse takes place in the alignment of the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth, there’s always a full moon. Yet, this lunar eclipse will coincide with a supermoon, the moon at the closest point in its orbit to the Earth. With apparent diameter roughly up to 33 angular minutes, the Moon on May 26 will appear 7 % larger and 16 % brighter than a normal one.
