A total eclipse of the Moon occurs during the night of Wednesday, February 20/21, 2008. The entire event is visible from South America and most of North America (on Feb. 20) as well as Western Europe, Africa, and western Asia (on Feb. 21). During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks the Sun's light from reaching the Moon. While the Moon remains completely within Earth's umbral shadow, indirect sunlight still manages to reach and illuminate it. However, this sunlight must first pass deep through the Earth's atmosphere which filters out most of the blue colored light. The remaining light is a deep red or orange in color and is much dimmer than pure white sunlight. Earth's atmosphere also bends or refracts some of this light so that a small fraction of it can reach and illuminate the Moon. The total phase of a lunar eclipse is so interesting and beautiful precisely because of the filtering and refracting effect of Earth's atmosphere. If the Earth had no atmosphere, then the Moon would be completely black during a total eclipse. Instead, the Moon can take on a range of colors from dark brown and red to bright orange and yellow. The exact appearance depends on how much dust and clouds are present in Earth's atmosphere. Total eclipses tend to be very dark after major volcanic eruptions since these events dump large amounts of volcanic ash into Earth's atmosphere. During the total lunar eclipse of December 1992, dust from Mount Pinatubo rendered the Moon nearly invisible. Пpи HacTyплeHии пoлHoro зaTMeHия ЛyHa пpиoбpeTaeT kpacHoBaTый или kopичHeBaTый oTTeHok.

Foto: Milijuni ljudi uživali u potpunoj pomrčini mjeseca Foto: AFP MNOGOBROJNI promatrači neba jučer su imali priliku uživati u spektakularnoj potpunoj pomrčini Mjeseca. U Zemljinoj sjeni Mjesec je proveo 51 minutu, a u ovom fenomenu mogli su uživati ljudi u Sjevernoj Europi, Istočnoj Africi, Aziji, Australiji, Sjevernoj Americi i na Pacifiku. Nažalost, pomrčina nije bila vidljiva u Hrvatskoj. Mjesec je u Zemljinu sjenu počeo ulaziti u 13.45 sati po centralnoeuropskom vremenu, a potpuna pomrčina nastala je u 15.06 sati. Sljedeća pomrčina Mjeseca na rasporedu je 2014. godine.
