SUPER FLOWER BLOOD MOON
The first lunar eclipse of 2021 is on the horizon. The first lunar eclipse of 2021 will be visible on Wednesday, May 26 to people living in parts of North America, South America, Asia, and Australia. This is a total lunar eclipse- when the Earth sits directly between the sun and the moon. The moon will darken and turn red as light from the sun bends around the Earth.
3 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE
1-IT'S ALSO A SUPERMOON
After a long wait, this total eclipse also coincides with another big lunar event: a Supermoon.
2- IT'S THE FIRST TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE IN TWO YEARS
There were a few partial and penumbral lunar eclipses in 2020, but the last total lunar eclipse was January 21, 2019.
3- IT WILL BE SHORTER THAN USUAL
A supermoon eclipse will be short. Because the Earth and Moon are so close, the Moon will pass through Earth's shadow more quickly, making the eclipse's totality only 15 minutes long.
