A spectacular astronomical event is set to unfold on Sunday, September 7, when the September full moon will coincide with a total lunar eclipse<\/a> \u2014 creating the phenomenon often called a \u201cBlood Moon.\u201d The eclipse will be visible with the naked eye, including from Greece.<\/p>\n

The lunar eclipse will already be underway at moonrise, beginning in its partial phase, when only part of the Moon is darkened by Earth\u2019s shadow. Around 8:30 p.m., the full eclipse will start, as the Moon moves completely into Earth\u2019s shadow, turning darker.<\/p>\n

By just after 9:00 p.m., the eclipse will reach its peak, with the Moon glowing in deep shades of red. The total phase will end at around 9:50 p.m., but the partial eclipse will continue until about 11:00 p.m. The Moon will remain dim until close to midnight as it passes through the penumbra, or lighter shadow, of the Earth.<\/p>\n

This reddish appearance is why the event is known as a \u201cBlood Moon.\u201d The red glow occurs because Earth\u2019s atmosphere scatters sunlight, filtering out blue wavelengths and allowing red light to reach the Moon\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n

Later in September, the Moon will move into its third quarter phase on the 14th and become a new moon on the 21st, when it will not be visible from Earth. That same day, a partial solar eclipse will take place, observable from New Zealand, Antarctica, and surrounding regions. The month will end with the Moon reaching its first quarter phase on September 30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A spectacular astronomical event is set to unfold on Sunday, September 7, when the September full moon will…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":126844,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[64,63,57832,3898,128,285],"class_list":{"0":"post-126843","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-space","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-full-moon","11":"tag-greece","12":"tag-science","13":"tag-space"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126843","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126843"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126843\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/126844"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
