Lunar eclipse today on August 7th.

Why do lunar eclipses occur? The reason for this mysterious phenomenon is actually simple and lies in the continuous movement of the planets. At certain moments, one planet is eclipsed by the shadow of another.

In the case under consideration, the Earth covers the Moon with its shadow, that is, the satellite completely enters the shadow of our planet. What’s interesting: a lunar eclipse cannot be observed by all the inhabitants of the Earth at once, but only by half of them, where the Moon rises above the horizon during the eclipse.

Why do we see the Moon? Its surface reflects sunlight, and therefore the inhabitants of our planet can admire its yellow “companion”. However, during an eclipse, the Moon does not simply disappear (as, for example, happens during a solar eclipse), it acquires a bright brown color. People who do not know this may not even understand that they are observing an interesting and rather rare phenomenon.

This color (red) is explained by the following: even being in the shadow of the Earth, the Moon still continues to be illuminated by the sun's rays passing tangentially to the surface of our planet. These rays are scattered in our atmosphere, and due to this they reach the surface of the Moon. At the same time, the red color of our usually yellow companion is due to the fact that the earth’s atmosphere transmits the red part of the spectrum much better.

What are lunar eclipses?

Lunar eclipses can be penumbral (also called partial) and total.

When full, the satellite enters entirely into the Earth's shadow and turns red. This is the most beautiful and large-scale lunar eclipse. The impact on a person is maximum.

When the Moon enters the shadow of our mother planet not completely, but partially, then a partial, or penumbral, eclipse occurs.

During a partial eclipse, the Moon does not completely change its color. Sometimes such a phenomenon is not even visible to the naked eye, and it can only be recorded with the help of special devices.

Interesting fact: lunar eclipses are very rarely the same in terms of the movement of the planets in their orbits. It turns out that a complete repetition of the same relative position of the Earth, Moon and Sun can occur only after 18 years! This period is called Saros. Its beginning and end are considered extremely important for esotericists and astrologers. But more on this a little later.

Lunar eclipse - impact on humans. Who is at risk?

It would be foolish to deny any impact of lunar eclipses on people. This is the same as not recognizing the influence of solar flares or magnetic storms on us. We are part of all life on Earth, and fully belong to nature, like everything else.

Our “yellow companion,” having a colossal influence on the Earth (just remember the ebb and flow of the tides, which she controls), has a powerful impact on people.

Most of all, during lunar eclipses you need to be on guard:

• Hypertension and people with cardiovascular diseases.
  They need to exclude any physical activity, it is advisable not to go outside.
• People with mental illnesses and those prone to such illnesses.
  Esotericists and astrologers call lunar eclipses “eclipses of the soul.” They are confident that at this time the subconscious area wins over the conscious. This is why people experience all the events of their lives to a much greater extent, they become aggressive and emotional.
• People who have previously been hypnotized. During the period of lunar eclipses, the likelihood of exposure to any negative memories and emotions becomes much higher.

It is a proven scientific fact: suicide rates increase during eclipses. With statistics like these, there's a lot to think about. It turns out that this lunar eclipse is so insidious and difficult. The impact of this natural phenomenon on humans has not yet been fully studied, but, as they say, forewarned is forearmed.

Impact of the eclipse on women

Even ancient people argued that the Sun is a male planet, and the Moon is female. And in our time, mystics and esotericists say the same thing. So what effect does a lunar eclipse have on women?

First, they should reduce their physical activity. This is especially true for pregnant women. The dangers for them are miscarriages, dangerous or unsuccessful births, leading to various complications. Maximum peace is the main rule.

Secondly, do not be surprised if a woman’s menstrual cycle may be disrupted. This is due to the fact that from a physiological point of view, the full moon (and an eclipse occurs only on a full moon) is the phase of egg maturation. Do you know that all marine inhabitants (from fish to shellfish) fertilize and lay eggs only during the full moon? It's incredible, but true. So a woman’s body is to some extent dependent on the phase of the moon. And during a period such as a lunar eclipse, this impact intensifies several times. Hence the hormonal imbalance.

What about babies?

It turns out that they are exposed to the influence of the Earth's satellite even before birth. While in the womb, the embryo feels vibrations from space transmitted by nerve impulses. During the eclipse, the fetus may actively kick and behave excitedly.

Children experience a lunar eclipse much more acutely than adults. They may refuse to eat and become more moody and whiny. It is difficult to put them to sleep and calm them down. Do not leave children with strangers at such a moment; they should only be surrounded by relatives.

It is believed that during lunar eclipses the risk of poisoning and intoxication is several times higher than in normal times. Therefore, insect poison can cause much more harm. In this regard, protect children from mosquito and bee bites.

This partial lunar eclipse can be observed throughout almost the entire territory of Russia, except for the extreme northern and most remote eastern regions of Russia. The moon will be in the constellation Capricorn. The maximum phase of a partial eclipse will be 0.247.
On the diagram of a partial lunar eclipse, Universal time is indicated. The Moon will pass through the northern part of the Earth's shadow and penumbra, and will be partially immersed in the Earth's shadow.
The beginning of the partial eclipse is 17:23,
The maximum phase of the eclipse is 18 hours 20 m,
The partial lunar eclipse will end at 19:18.
To find out the time of the eclipse at the observation location, you need to add the number of the time zone of your region to the time in the figure.

MOSCOW (UT + 3 h)
The eclipse will also be visible in a metropolis; there is no need to move away from city lights. The main thing is that there is good cloudless weather and open terrain all the way to the horizon in the southeastern part of the sky. You can simply observe it with the naked eye. However, if you have binoculars or a small telescope, it will be more interesting. You can take a photo, for this it is better to use a tripod or at least a reliable stop.
To find out the time of the eclipse at the observation location, you need to add the number of the time zone of your region to the time in the figure. Moscow – third time zone: add 3 hours to the time indicated in the figure. In the figure, the beginning of a partial eclipse is 17:23, add three hours (UT + 3 hours), we get 20:23. That is, evening time, at this time the Sun sets below the horizon.
In Moscow, the moon rises on August 7 at 20:10 (Moscow time).
At this time, the Moon is already completely immersed in the Earth's penumbra and a slight darkening of the lower part of the lunar disk will be noticeable, but the Sun has not yet set beyond the horizon and greatly interferes with observations.
Partial phases of the eclipse in Moscow will begin at 20:23,
The maximum phase of the eclipse will occur at 21:20.
The moon at this time will be at an altitude of about 7° above the horizon, so you need to observe in the place where it will be visible.
The partial lunar eclipse will end at 22:18 (the Moon is 12° above the horizon).
In Moscow, during the eclipse, the Moon will be visible in the southeastern part of the sky.

NOVOSIBIRSK (UT + 7 h)
Novosibirsk has the best conditions for observing a partial lunar eclipse!
During the eclipse, the moon will be in the southern part of the sky at an altitude of 17-18° above the horizon.
Novosibirsk - seventh time zone: add 7 hours to the time indicated in the figure.
The eclipse will occur after midnight local time at the beginning of the day on August 8th.
The partial phases of the eclipse will begin on August 8 at 0:23 a.m.
The maximum phase of the eclipse will occur on August 8 at 1:20 am,
The partial lunar eclipse will end on August 8 at 2:18 am (Novosibirsk time).

VLADIVOSTOK (UT + 10 h)
In Vladivostok, a partial lunar eclipse will be visible already in the southwestern part of the sky 2-3 hours before the Moon sets on the horizon.
The moon in the maximum phase of the eclipse will be quite high above the horizon (17-18° above the horizon), because Vladivostok is located significantly south of Moscow and Novosibirsk in latitude, but the height of the Moon above the horizon decreases quite quickly over time.
Vladivostok is the tenth time zone: 10 hours should be added to the time indicated in the figure.
The eclipse will occur well after midnight local time at the beginning of the day on August 8th.
The partial phases of the eclipse will begin on August 8 at 3:23 am,
The maximum phase of the eclipse will occur on August 8 at 4:20 am,
The partial lunar eclipse will end on August 8 at 5:18 am.
And soon the Moon will set behind the horizon, and the Sun will rise above the horizon (Vladivostok time).

The penumbral phases of an eclipse are practically invisible to the human eye.
The next total lunar eclipses visible in our country will occur on January 31 and July 27, 2018.

Already this evening, August 7, 2017, as experts promise, almost all of Russia will see a Lunar Eclipse. The phenomenon will be especially beautiful in Moscow. About when you can admire such beauty, as well as where the Lunar Eclipse will be visible, read the material on the website - we’ll tell you everything in detail!

Lunar eclipse August 7, 2017: start and end time, in what degree, where it will be visible

So, Moscow time, the Lunar Eclipse on August 7, 2017 will begin at 21:20. This phenomenon will last 1 hour and 55 minutes, i.e. until 23:15 in Moscow. (Greenwich time - 18-20). It is in the capital of Russia that residents and guests will be able to enjoy the “Bloody Moon” like no other. Despite this, other regions of Russia will be able to admire the spectacle, with the exception of the Far North, Chukotka and the Far East. But we can fix everything! Most likely, in the rest of our country there will be at least one person (and there will be, of course, thousands) who will film or photograph this beauty.

August 7, 2017 - shadow lunar eclipse of 119 Saros. Like the previous February lunar eclipse, it will take place in the sign of Aquarius. When our Luminary is in this sign, its companion, the Moon, is under the sign of the fiery Leo! The eclipse will pass at 11 degrees.

Astrologers confidently say that this combination is very beneficial for earthlings. The Sun in Aquarius and the Moon in Leo are an incredibly harmonious combination that will help solve many problems. Despite this, you need to remember: on August 6, 7 and 8 it is better not to enter into conflicts with anyone, not to resolve complex financial issues and not to start new major transactions. In general, try to behave “lower than grass, quieter than water” these days, then everything will go as it should!

A partial lunar eclipse event is expected on August 7th. Astrologers attach great importance to it, as it falls at the Aquarius-Leo intersection. That is, while the Sun is in Aquarius, the Moon will take the place of Leo.

Experts tracked the balance of air and fire. It turns out that both celestial objects will create harmonious relationships with Saturn in Sagittarius and Jupiter in Libra. Astrologers believe that such a situation promises a favorable solution to all problems that arose during the event.

During an eclipse, you can enter a new fateful stage. Many will forget about past mistakes and failures and will be able to fearlessly look into the future. There is a pretty good combination here. Aquarius is resourceful, while Leo symbolizes creativity. From Saturn we will receive a pragmatic attitude towards problems, and Jupiter will bestow optimism. That is, there will be a real chance to realize yourself and finally feel inner liberation.

Lunar eclipse on August 7, 2017: time for Russian cities

The partial eclipse event will be visible across the country. The only people who will be unlucky are the residents of Kamchatka and Chukotka, where it will already be dawn and the Moon will hide behind the horizon. The exact time is 20:24 – 22:29.

The moon will plunge with its southern edge into the part of the disk for almost 2 hours. In Moscow, observation can begin an hour before the peak of the eclipse.

The satellite will rise above the southeastern side and will be completely in the earth's penumbra. At 20:24 the process of entering the shadow will begin. Even though it will be mounted low, scientists guarantee a magnificent spectacle: a gradual coloration of blood red.

The event on August 7 falls during the Full Moon. That is, it is important to understand that all negative aspects will not only not disappear, but will also increase their impact.

Certainly, positive There are moments, but they are fewer.

First of all, at this moment the influence of Aquarius will be maximum. Therefore, you can afford to buy something expensive or important for yourself.

Any changes in the workplace or home environment will have a very positive effect. If a lot of unnecessary things have accumulated, then finally do a thorough cleaning. You can rearrange the furniture.

All new things will be easy and enjoyable. But don't try to hit the jackpot if you've just started doing something. It's best to put this aside for now and return to the previous project.

But there is no need to be overly wary, since the eclipse still guarantees many opportunities.

Don't forget about the possible negative sides.

On August 7, try not to spend all your energy solely on one thing. This is a dangerous time, so only dynamism can save us. You don’t need to rest all day, but it’s also not good to work 24 hours a day. Find a middle ground.

Get ready for quarrels, because those around you will burst into flames like matches. Conflicts and misunderstandings arise literally out of nowhere. Moreover, expect a stab in the back from those you help most often. Everyone will try to crush you with authority, but you must continue to listen to your own music.

You will feel a strong desire to take revenge or annoy someone. Do not give in, otherwise you will disrupt the surrounding harmony.

It's important not to get excited. The full moon confuses thoughts and deprives logic. You will begin to see negativity where there is none. Therefore, remain calm and carefully weigh every decision.

It is better to avoid physical activity during the day. If you play sports, put everything off until the evening. But water treatments and walks will be beneficial.

Based on such a short observation period, it is impossible to accurately determine the distance at which asteroid 2006 QV89 will approach the Earth on 09/09/2019, since the asteroid has not been observed since then (since 2006). Moreover, according to various estimates, the object may approach our planet not on the 9th, but on another date in September 2019.

As for whether 2006 QV89 will collide with Earth on September 9, 2019 or not - the likelihood of a collision is extremely low.

Thus, the Sentry System (developed by the JPL Center for NEO Studies) shows that the probability of a body colliding with the Earth is 1:9100 (those. about one ten thousandth of a percent).

The European Space Agency (ESA) estimates the chance of an asteroid crossing its orbit with our planet as 1 to 7300 (0,00014 % ). ESA placed 2006 QV89 in 4th place among celestial bodies posing a potential danger to Earth. According to the agency, the exact time of “flight” of the body on September 9, 2019 is 10:03 Moscow time.

In both Orthodoxy and Catholicism, Easter always falls on Sunday.

Easter 2020 is preceded by Lent, which begins 48 days before the Holy Day. And after 50 days they celebrate Trinity.

Popular pre-Christian customs that have survived to this day include dyeing eggs, making Easter cakes and curd Easter cakes.

We should greet each other on Easter with the words “Christ is Risen,” and respond with “Truly He is Risen.”

This will be the fourth game for the Russian team in this qualifying tournament. Let us remind you that in the previous three meetings, Russia “at the start” lost to Belgium with a score of 1:3, and then won two dry victories - over Kazakhstan (4:0) and over San Marino (9:0). The last victory was the largest in the entire existence of the Russian football team.

As for the upcoming meeting, according to bookmakers, the Russian team is the favorite in it. The Cypriots are objectively weaker than the Russians, and the islanders cannot expect anything good from the upcoming match. However, we must take into account that the teams have never met before, and therefore unpleasant surprises may await us.

The Russia-Cyprus meeting will take place on June 11, 2019 In Nizhniy Novgorod at the stadium of the same name, built for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Start of the match - 21:45 Moscow time.

Where and what time do the national teams of Russia and Cyprus play:
* Venue of the match - Russia, Nizhny Novgorod.
* Game start time is 21:45 Moscow time.
