The moon will pass through Earth’s shadow tonight in the only total lunar eclipse of 2019 and you won’t want to miss it! If you do, you’ll have to wait two years for the next one. And if you’re in North America, you’d have to wait even longer, until 2022!
Specifically, the dawn of Monday, January 21, the total eclipse of Moon will begin at about 06:41 GMT, will reach its peak at 07:12 and will end at 7:43 am Greece. This total lunar eclipse is fully visible in Athens. The total lunar eclipse is sometimes called a blood moon, as the Moon turns red. At times, the Moon will look red because of sunlight scattering off Earth’s atmosphere. That’s why an eclipsed Moon is sometimes known as a ‘blood Moon’. In January, the first full Moon of the year is also sometimes known as the ‘wolf Moon’ or great spirit Moon. So for you star gazers and photographers don’t miss out on mother nature’s early morning performance
