In the night from 27 to 28 July, the inhabitants of almost the entire territory of Russia will be able to watch two rare astronomical events: the most prolonged in a century lunar Eclipse and the closest approach of Mars to Earth.
According to information on the website of the Moscow planetarium, a lunar Eclipse will last from 21:24 to 1:20, Moscow time. The period of totality will be 1 hour 44 minutes, from 22:30 to 00:14. In the "Park of the sky" for visitors to the planetarium wishing to see a unique view, will install about a dozen telescopes.
Mars, which is in great opposition with the Sun, will be removed from our planet by only 55.7 million kilometers and will pass through the skies at 7 degrees from the moon. Next time he comes so close only to 2035.
The coincidence of these two phenomena, which will be the first for 188 years, mistakenly called duelune. But, as explained by experts, despite the extraordinary brightness, the size of Mars is similar to a large star, not a second moon.
