The Moon will appear “full” both Monday and Tuesday night
A total lunar eclipse will take place on Tuesday, November 8, but it will reach its maximum point at noon Greek time, so it will not be visible from our country. It will be the last total lunar eclipse until March 2025, according to Sky & Telescope.
The eclipse will be visible from, among others, East Asia, Japan, Australia, the Pacific Ocean, as well as from parts of North and South America and Russia. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth and Moon form almost a straight line in space, a phenomenon known as conjunction. The moon gradually slips into the shadow of our planet and the lunar disk changes color.
At the same time, on the same day (around 15:00 Greek time) there will be a full moon, which the American Indians called the “beaver moon”, because at this time the beavers build their dams and also when the traps for hunting them were set . The Moon will appear “full” both Monday and Tuesday night.
The following day, November 9, the distant planet Uranus will be at its closest distance from Earth and illuminated by the Sun, making it brighter than at any other time of the year. It will be visible in the sky all night and thus provide a good opportunity for its observation (although due to its distance it will appear as a blue-green dot from a good amateur telescope).
