On Wednesday, a rare event occurs when the appearance of the so-called giant blue moon is accompanied by a total eclipse of the moon, a phenomenon that can be seen from Western North America to East Asia.
The interference of the blue moon, with eclipses, while the moon is at the closest position of the Earth, is a celestial celestial phenomenon that has not occurred since 1982, said Noah Pietro, a researcher at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, outside Washington.
"The blue moon is not very rare, but it is a good coincidence to coincide with the other two phenomena," Pietro told Reuters.
Pietro stressed that the eclipse would be a scientific opportunity for researchers in Hawaii who would study what happens to the moon when a bicycle drops heat rapidly from 100 degrees Celsius in sunlight to 153 degrees below zero in the dark.
He explained that the speed of low heat can reveal what the surface consists of such as rocks or soil.
The moon will appear on Wednesday at 8:27 am Eastern Time (13:27 GMT).
The blue moon phenomenon usually occurs every two and a half years. The first Badr of the month was on January 1.
The blue moon will also be a giant, a phenomenon that occurs when the moon is at the nearest point or near the point.
NASA said the giant moon was about 14 percent brighter than normal.
The moon's approach from Earth on Wednesday will be the second in 2018 after January 1.
The lunar eclipse, which happens when it passes through the Earth, will continue for about three and a half hours.
According to NASA, the eclipse will start at 6:48 am EST (11:48 GMT) and reach a peak at 8:29 am EDT (13:29 GMT).
The total eclipse will be visible from the western United States and Canada through the Pacific to most of Australia and China as well as the Arctic.
The eclipse will give the moon a red glow in a phenomenon known as the bloody moon.
Hope I will remember to take a break from my studies and go outside this Wednesday!
