The full moon at sunset is partially hidden by the shadow of the Earth, the Moon will plunge completely into the Earth's shadow and present us with a deep coppery hue.

In space, the Sun, the Earth and the Moon have aligned themselves perfectly and the lunar disk is gradually diving into the shadow of the Earth.

At 9:30 pm, Paris time (universal time +2 hours), the full moon is fully immersed in the shadow cone of our planet and its face is a coppery color.

At 22 h 20 min, in a darker sky and when the full moon reaches the deepest part of the Earth's shadow, the bright orange dot of Mars is visible at 6 degrees below it.

An hour after the departure of the Sun, in a twilight sky already dark, we will observe this extremely brilliant point of the planet Mars, just beautiful next to the Moon totally eclipsed.

This planet is in opposition and it shines as never in the last fifteen years:

superb heavenly show !

It is also aligned with the Sun and the Earth, but it is nearly 58 million kilometers from us, well beyond the end of the shadow of our planet.

From 23 h 13 min the Moon sketches out of the shadows.

At 0 h 19 min, July 28 is the full moon fully out of the shadows to return there on January 21 for an upcoming total eclipse.
