Towards the end of the month, Earthmen will be able to contemplate not only the Blood Moon but also the Red Planet, which will be very close to Earth, which will not be repeated until 2020, according to NASA researchers.
The day of the longest lunar eclipse of the century, the Blood Moon, July 27, 2018, will also be marked by another event during which Mars will be closer to Earth, says NASA.
Concretely, Mars will be brighter over the period from 27 to 30 July 2018, having moved closer to the distance of 57.6 million kilometers of our planet. The red planet will reach its peak around midnight and will be visible for most of the night. The next time Mars will be so close will be October 6, 2020.
In mid-August 2018, Mars will be less and less visible as it moves away from the Earth, orbiting the Sun.
While some media are already baptizing the event as the meeting of two "moons", NASA says that the red planet will be much brighter than usual, but warns against "an urban legend" that Mars will be as big than the moon. If this were the case, the researchers warn that we would have found ourselves in a rather difficult situation given the gravitational effects on Earth, Mars and the Moon.
Likewise, this Tuesday, the Moon will be at its closest point to the sixth planet in the Solar System, Saturn.
In the evening of July 27, 2018, the Moon will take on a splendid red brick color during a total eclipse. In France, the observers of the sky will be able to contemplate the second part of this eclipse. At the moment when the French will see the full moon appear, she will be already taking reddish colors. This phenomenon is also known as Red Moon or Blood Moon.
