tendr una particularidad extra: ocurrir durante un periodo de "sper Luna", donde el satlite se ve ms
grande y brillante desde la superficie de la Tierra.
The next Sunday September 27 we will be able to see the second and last lunar eclipse of the
year, although you will have an extra special feature: will occur during a period of "super Moon",
where the satellite is big and bright from the surface of the Earth. The full moon at its perigee
(closest point of its orbit) and in its apogee (farthest). The photo shown to scale a comparison
between the different sizes visible from Earth.

ECLIPSE LUNAR
Un eclipse lunar (del latn eclipsis) es un evento astronmico que sucede cuando
la Tierra se interpone entre el Sol y la Luna, generando un cono desombra que oscurece a
la luna. Para que suceda un eclipse, los tres cuerpos celestes, la Tierra, el Sol y la Luna,
deben estar exactamente alineados o muy cerca de estarlo, de tal modo que la Tierra
bloquee los rayos solares que llegan al satlite; por eso, los eclipses lunares solo pueden
ocurrir en la fase de luna llena.
Los eclipses lunares se clasifican en parciales (solo una parte de la Luna es ocultada),
totales (toda la superficie lunar entra en el cono de sombra terrestre) y penumbrales (la
Luna entra en el cono de penumbra de la Tierra). La duracin y el tipo de eclipse depende
de la localizacin de la Luna respecto de sus nodos orbitales.
A diferencia de los eclipses solares, que pueden ser vistos solo desde una parte
relativamente pequea de la Tierra y duran unos pocos minutos, un eclipse lunar puede
ser visto desde cualquier parte de la Tierra en la que sea de noche y se prolonga durante
varias horas.
El tono rojizo de la Luna se debe a la refraccin de la luz solar en las partculas de polvo presentes
en la atmsfera.
Eclipse parcial: ocurre cuando solo una parte de la Luna entra en la umbra.
The full moon at perigee (closest point of its orbit) and its apogee (the
farthest). The scale photo shows a comparison between different sizes
visible from Earth.
This illustration, based on images from the Galileo spacecraft, shows the
approximate difference in apparent size between a full moon at perigee
(left) and fills in its heyday (right) moon farthest points in lunar orbit.
The Earth and the Moon are a little closer during winter in the northern
hemisphere. Between the nearest and farthest point possible there may be
a difference of 20% in the light of the moon. The difference can not be
detected by the human eye.
- APOGEE is the point of the elliptical orbit in which said body is closer to the
center of the Earth.
- PERIGEO is the point of the elliptical orbit in which said body is further from
the center of the Earth.
That is, is that when you are at the greatest distance from Earth (apogee)
away up to 406,740 km and when you reach the point of minimum distance
(perigee) makes only 356,410 km. This makes the moon look larger or
smaller depending on the distance that you are on Earth. Although this
phenomenon is virtually nil by the human eye, especially being the moon in
the sky, where there are no references, publications and there are people
who say you can check at a glance.
LUNAR ECLIPSE
A lunar eclipse (Latin eclipsis) is an astronomical event that occurs when the
Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, creating a cone desombra
obscuring the moon. For an eclipse to happen, the three celestial bodies, the
Earth, Sun and Moon, must be aligned exactly or very close to it, so that the
Earth blocks the sun's rays that reach the satellite; therefore, lunar eclipses
can only occur at full moon phase.
Lunar eclipses are classified as partial (only part of the moon is hidden),
total (entire lunar surface enters the Earth's shadow cone) and penumbral
(the Moon enters penumbra cone of the Earth). The duration and type of
eclipse depends on the location of the moon on its orbit nodes.
Unlike solar eclipses, which can be seen only from a relatively small part of
the Earth and last a few minutes, a lunar eclipse can be seen from anywhere
on Earth where it is night and lasts for several hours .
The reddish hue of the moon is due to the refraction of the sunlight in the
dust particles in the atmosphere.
The Earth's shadow is projected into two parts: the umbra and penumbra. In
the umbra, there is no direct sunlight. However, due to the larger angular
size of the Sun, solar radiation is blocked only partially on the outer portion
of the Earth's shadow, called the penumbra. Thus, due to the different
shadows, eclipses are classified as:
penumbral Eclipse occurs when the moon passes through Earth's shadow.
The penumbra causes a subtle darkening of the lunar surface. If only a small
part of the moon enters the penumbral region, the resulting eclipse is very
difficult to observe with the naked eye and is called penumbral-sided. A
special type of penumbral eclipse is total-penumbral in which the Moon
completely enters the penumbra, without going through the umbra. This last
case of penumbral eclipse is very rare (about three per century) because
the width of the penumbral zone (the difference between the inner diameter
and the outer limit) is only slightly larger than the diameter of the Moon.
The portion of the moon is closest to the umbra appears a little darker than
the rest in the penumbral-total eclipses.
Partial Eclipse occurs when only part of the Moon enters the umbra.
Total Eclipse occurs when the moon completely enters the threshold area.
A special case of total eclipse is total-plant, in which the Moon, also passing
through the Earth's umbra does so at the center of this.
The fact that the super moon and eclipse occur simultaneously is "simply
planetary dynamics," says Petro. "When the rhythms align, you can have
three or four consecutive eclipses or super moon and an eclipse."
While not rare, it is not a phenomenon that occurs often. NASA said that
since 1900 there have been only five matches and super moon eclipse, with
the last occurring in 1982. After the events of September 27, the next will be
in 2033.
According to NASA, the eclipse will be visible in the Americas (North and
South), Europe, Africa and parts of Asia. The first shadow will start at 21:11
(Chilean time) and the total eclipse will begin at 23:11 hours, with an
expected duration of one hour and 12 minutes.
