The lunar eclipse of June 15th, 2011

On the night of 15 June 16, 2011 the first total lunar eclipse this year. The second falls on the date of 10 December 2011.

Lunar eclipse - an event that will be held not less than twice a year, when the full moon of the Earth's shadow cone covers the moon.

This relatively rare eclipse as the Moon, located in the constellation Ophiuchus, will pass through the center of Earth's shadow. The last such event was observed July 16, 2000. And we should expect only seven years July 27, 2018.

The duration of the lunar eclipse is divided into:

penumbral, which will lasts five hours and forty minutes;

Private - Three hours and forty minutes;

complete - one o'clock and forty minutes.

Penumbral lunar eclipse

Although the brightness of the moon decreased, see penumbral lunar eclipse naked eye is unlikely, as it is under the force only by special instruments. And only then, when the moon will pass very close to full shade cone, you can see only a slight darkening of the edges.

And in Asia, New Zealand, the Philippines and Australia can be seen only the beginning, before sunset, the moon, but in West Africa, Europe and South America have seen the end of the eclipse after sunrise.

But in Central Asia and parts of Africa, and also in the Russian Federation (this Volga Federal District, North-Caucasian Federal District, Southern Federal District and the south of the Ural Federal District) penumbral lunar eclipse will be visible in all its phases, and in the best visibility conditions when the absence of clouds.

Effect

This event has always been, and still is a mixture of curiosity, fear and emotions, as well as all the unusual and mysterious. In ancient times, even the thought that the strength of its impact on people takes many months, how many minutes it lasted the full phase.

If we follow the reasoning of the ancients, in 2011 is one hundred months, or about nine years. If we follow the opinion of the astrologers, that the effect of the Lunar Eclipse has the most greater impact in countries where it is easier to see, then we can conclude that these federal districts of Russia, in the next nine years, awaiting the era of new achievements and initiatives .

Since, according to the observations of the same astrologers, many people are susceptible to the event, it is best at the time of the eclipse to lie on the couch and think about something pleasant and desirable, not plunging thoughts deep down, eliminating lovemaking and alcohol.

Let the moon, a mysterious and eternal companion of the Earth passes its phase position, as it should be. A desire, maybe they will come true.

The solar eclipse of November 3, 2013

November 3 will be a solar eclipse and annular complete, a rare hybrid species which will begin promptly at 14:04 am Moscow time.

This will be the last solar eclipse in 2013.

Solar eclipses occur when the sun and moon are in a line on the surface of the Earth's shadow falls on our satellites.

A full solar eclipse Lunar light completely covers the sun disk and it is not noticeable to view people.

During an annular eclipse the moon completely covers the sun and the moon around the rim of the solar disk is visible. When the hybrid eclipse, it passes on to the full annular and then back again.

The last time a similar eclipse was 8 years ago, and following the same eclipse we will be able to watch only 10 years later, in 2023.

Will be able to observe the solar eclipse November 3, 2013 the inhabitants of the entire east coast of the United States and Latin America. It is an interesting sight, the moon will be in partial shade on the solar disk, forming a sickle.

Our Earth's shadow touches around 15:05 pm Moscow time near the Atlantic Ocean, about a thousand kilometers from Florida.

Just 15 seconds later the eclipse will pass in full phase and it will be up to full completion.

The total phase of a solar eclipse will end exactly at 18:27 am Moscow time, and its penumbral phase - 19 hours 28 minutes. Moon Shadow in this period will be in the region of Africa.

Solar eclipse the importance and influence

The solar eclipse on earthlings affects even bigger than the moon.

It occurs when the Moon and the Earth, moving in their orbits are arranged in a line with the sun, with the moon in the middle.

It is even on space standards and a small, but is much closer to us light, so for a few minutes can close it. Solar eclipses are also full and partial, and even ring-shaped.

Any of them is interesting and exciting, but its grandeur and entertainment is hard to find anything more than a total solar eclipse. Watch it can not on the whole territory of the Earth, and only there, where the lunar shadow.

The planets in their orbits rush with great speed, so there is not a long eclipse. In a few minutes of his existence suddenly it becomes dark as night, in the sky the stars are clearly visible, and where the sun was shining moment ago, is seen with a black circle around the glowing halo, called the corona.

In ancient times, priests, learned to determine the approximate time of the solar eclipse, used it as a powerful tool to influence the uninitiated fellow urging them to absolute obedience.

In the Middle Ages, upon the occurrence of eclipses many expected end of the world. Some of it has such a powerful psychological impact that people have finished all their own lives. There is documentary evidence of this.

This eclipse, again, comes only at new moon, that in itself creates some trouble. These solar eclipse add your own. The sun sends to the earth is not reflected and direct beams. When a lot of them, they are pernicious, but without them there would be our beautiful diverse life.

During the eclipse on their way becomes legally Moon (not to be confused with the clouds and the clouds that do not reflect or refract the sun's rays, but only a little bit prevent them from reaching the earth's surface). Moon for a few minutes completely blocks their access, knocking an established rhythm all living things.

During solar eclipses faster moving pendulum. During a solar eclipse decreases the density of time. While scientists have not figured out all the consequences of these phenomena.

Did they influence the change of fate, as has long been known that the correct observance of certain ritual during the eclipse, you can completely change your life.

For some (not necessarily those conducting the ritual) astrologers predict a fatal change of fortune. It sounds scary.

Like it or not, but it's better during the eclipse, do not take new initiatives, avoid risky projects and rash actions, to observe the measured and calm pace of life, that is not to provoke emotions, and so that will be enough.

It must be remembered that the eclipse begins to have an effect two weeks before its peak and continues for two weeks thereafter.

Look at the sun, even the moon is completely hidden in the various devices is only possible with the use of special filters, otherwise you can permanently impair vision or lose it completely.
