Strange Sounds<\/a> – May 12, 2021<\/p>\n

It\u2019s almost time for another \u201cBlood Moon\u201d eclipse in North America\u2014the first for over two years! \u201cBlood Moon 2021,\u201d a total lunar eclipse, will occur in the early hours of May 26, 2021 and be visible to some\u2014but not all\u2014of North America.<\/p>\n

A total lunar eclipse, during which observers see a red Moon, can only occur at full Moon. The full Moon in May 2021 is called the \u201cFlower Moon,\u201d simply for the time of year it occurs in the northern hemisphere.<\/p>\n

So why is the event being trailed as the \u201cSuper Flower Blood Moon 2021?\u201d<\/p>\n

Here are three things you need to know about 2021\u2019s only total lunar eclipse.<\/p>\n

1. It\u2019s a \u2018supermoon,\u2019 the biggest and brightest full Moon of 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

The \u201cSuper Flower Blood Moon 2021\u201d is a \u201csupermoon.\u201d<\/p>\n

It will be about 7% bigger than an average full Moon, but that\u2019s not something you\u2019re going to notice. What you will probably notice is that it will be about 15% brighter\u2014the brightest, in fact, of 2021. That\u2019s because it\u2019s the closest full Moon to Earth of 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The entire world can enjoy this special sight of a \u201csupermoon.\u201d All you have to do is look to the east around dusk to see a fabulous full moonrise.<\/p>\n

2. It\u2019s a \u2018Blood Moon,\u2019 2021\u2019s only total lunar eclipse<\/strong><\/p>\n

From 11:11-11:25 UTC the full Moon will turn a reddish color. You can find out if you can see it from where you are using this eclipse map<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A total lunar eclipse occurs when a full Moon enters Earth\u2019s shadow in space. Of course, Earth is always casting a shadow into outer space opposite the Sun. It extends to around 870,000 miles\/1.4 million km.<\/p>\n

The Moon\u2019s orbital path around Earth is roughly 5% inclined to the path of the Sun through our sky, so it rarely causes an eclipse of the Sun. So too lunar eclipses.<\/p>\n

3. You\u2019ve got a 50% chance of seeing it from where you are in North America<\/strong><\/p>\n

The entire night-side of Earth will witness the full Moon turn a reddish color during a brief 15-minute totality on May 26, 2021, but in many parts of the U.S the Moon will set just as the eclipse gets going.<\/p>\n
