A total lunar Eclipse that will take place on April 4, will be the shortest for the past 100 years. The Russians will be able to see its final phase, and in the Western hemisphere is the original.

Astronomical event will start at 06:16 on time on the East coast of the United States (13:16 Moscow time). Its duration will be 4 minutes and 43 seconds. At the same time to observe the initial phase of the Eclipse will be before sunrise in the East of North America and the South West. But the inhabitants of the other hemisphere - China, India and Russia - will be able to capture the final phase of cosmic phenomena.

This Eclipse will be the third in the period from April 15, 2014 to September 28, 2015. It is expected that after him there will be another. Previous phenomenon occurred on 8 October 2014. However could see it only for the inhabitants of North America, Australia and some parts of South America and Asia.

During the Eclipse the moon becomes red. This can sometimes be the result of the dispersion of the rays which are tangent to the Earth to the moon, because the air of the planet is transparent to the invasion of red light.

Not long ago, the inhabitants of the planet were able to see a solar Eclipse. As wrote earlier Days.Roux, March 20 at noon, the Moon was obscured by more than 60% of the solar disk. Thanks mostly Sunny weather, the people of Russia could follow a unique phenomenon. But the point limit of the Eclipse was observed in the Norwegian sea - East Iceland.
