There are few people who their pleasure in the middle of getting up at night, but last night there were many night owls who did not regret it.
The moon colored namely copper red by a rare total lunar eclipse and was larger than usual, because he was very close to the earth. Because there were few clouds, so-called blood moon dropped in much of the country look good.
People from cities including Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Haarlem, Utrecht, Emmeloord, Harlingen and places in Limburg were heard massively on Twitter. Photos and videos were enthusiastic and shared the words blood moon, super moon blood and super moon were hours long trending topic. From the east of the country it was reported about too much cloud cover, so the special blood moon was not visible.
The lunar eclipse began at 2:11 pm . But at 4:48 pm the eclipse maximum, because the earth when exactly between the sun and the moon was in. Around 7:24 pm all was over.
The red glow of the blood moon occurs when the earth blocks the sun’s rays and the moon light not to Earth may bounce. The sunlight it passes the Earth. The atmosphere bends it off to the moon. Red light is best deflected. Thereby colors the moon during an eclipse red.
The last time that happened a blood moon and a super moon at the same time, was in 1982. The next time that occurs, in 2033.
