A total lunar eclipse will take place today, on May 26, due to its maximum proximity to our planet. This time, the lunar eclipse entirely coincides with the full moon and its arrival in orbit close to Earth. A case like this one happens once every 12 years.
The complete phase of the eclipse will last for 14 minutes and 30 seconds. At this time, the moon will become almost invisible, although part of it will have a blue tint due to the absorption of light coming from there to the Earth by atmospheric ozone.
During the eclipse, the moon will approach the Earth at a distance of 362 thousand kilometers, and the event can be seen at 15:19 Tbilisi time.
