After a waiting period of 372 years, observers of the sky in a special treatment as the sky of the winter solstice is the total lunar eclipse on Tuesday.
The last time the two astronomical events occurred was 21 December 1638, said Geoff Chester of the U.S. Naval Observatory.
The eclipse is not visible in India as they occur during the day, but stargazers can the full moon is a delicious reddish copper in Europe, West Africa, South America, Pacific east of Australia, the Philippines and East and North Asia.
In addition, on Tuesday (December 21) is the shortest day of the year, people on the north side of the Equator celebrate the winter solstice.
"Tilts It is a day in the Earth's axis farthest from the sun and is called the winter solstice, a term derived from the words" sun "in Latin (the sun) and" Sisters "(Case)," The Science Communicators Association of Extension and said educators (SPACE) Chairman CB Devgun.
The solstice is an astronomical event that occurs twice a year, if the inclination of the earth is removed to or from the sun, tilted, the apparent position of the sun causes the sky to the north or south to reach the end, at, he said.
At the winter solstice, the North Pole and South Pole directly from the sun points directly into the sun spots, he said, adding that the sun appears in the lower elevations in the northern sky and the maximum height in the southern sky.
