Bobo.id – Guys, did you know sky event anything will happen in 2022 this?
One of the astronomical phenomena that will occur in May 2022 is a total lunar eclipse.
Researcher from the BRIN Space Research Center Andi Pangerang said, the peak of the first Total Lunar Eclipse in 2022 will occur on May 16 at 11.11.13 WIB / 12.11.13 WITA / 13.11.13 WIT.
The eclipse was the 34th of 72 eclipses in the Saros 131 cycle.
The width of the eclipse reaches 1.4137 times the diameter of the Moon for the umbra and 2.3725 times the diameter of the Moon for the penumbra.
Mr. Andi said the center of the Moon is 0.2532 times the diameter of the Earth’s Umbra south of the center of the Earth’s Umbra. He also added that this eclipse will take place in 3 phases, namely:
– Fase penumbral
The penumbral phase lasted for 5 hours 18 minutes 40 seconds (from 08.32.11 WIB to 13.50.52 WIB).
In this phase, the entire moon is in the penumbra, so the color looks blurry.
