| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Residents of different regions of Russia were able to observe a total lunar eclipse. The orange Moon, also called the corn moon, entered the Earth's penumbra at 18:28 Moscow time, marking the beginning of the penumbral phase. This phenomenon occurred in the country for the first time in seven years. It could be seen anywhere in Russia, with the exception of the eastern part of the Chukotka Peninsula, as well as in Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and Antarctica. The eclipse also coincided with a supermoon. This means that at that moment the Moon was close to perigee - the closest point in its orbit to the Earth. According to the head of the astronomical complex and observatory of the Moscow Planetarium Alexander Perkhnyak, an hour later, at 19:27 Moscow time, the partial phase began. The Moon began to acquire a reddish color long before this time. When observed through a telescope, the color looked uneven, containing peach, scarlet, orange, and brown shades. The total eclipse started at 20:31 Moscow time. It lasted almost an hour and a half. |
