Next March 29, The moon will align with the sun and hide it partiallyprojecting a shadow on some areas of the northern hemisphere, which will generate a visual effect similar to a bite on the king star.
This phenomenon will occur just two weeks after the Blood Luna eclipse on March 14, when The moon was dyed red Because the Earth’s atmosphere absorbed the other spectrum colors.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) explains that this phenomenon occurs when the sun, the moon and the earth align. Depending on this alignment, a visible show is offered for many people.
In which countries will eclipse be visible?
Eleonora Poitevin, president of the Guatemalan Association of Astronomy (AGA), indicates that this phenomenon will be visible mainly in areas of North America, northern Russia and Canada, Africa, northern Asia, some regions of South America, Greenland and Iceland, as well as in large part of the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans.
In addition, NASA explains that, in the United States, the eclipse will be visible in Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, New York, Philadelphia, Portland and Washington, and will occur during dawn. In Europe, specifically in Madrid, Spain, the maximum point of the eclipse will be visible at 11.40 hours.
On this occasion, the eclipse will not be visible in Guatemala. However, Poitevin recommends being attentive to social networks to follow the publications of people located in the places where it will be visible.
