Astronomy fans contemplate and record the phenomena of the universe at the moment of perfect alignment. According to experts, lunar eclipses are phenomena that surprise every time the three stars, the sun, the earth and the moon, align in such a way that the earth will block the sun’s rays and a cone-shaped shadow called umbra, which will completely cover the satellite.
There are three types of lunar eclipses, which differ between each of them by the intensity of the shadow that darkens the moon. The first is called a total lunar eclipse and occurs when the moon is totally in the umbra of the earth and is 100% dark.
Similarly, there is a partial lunar eclipse, which occurs when only part of the moon is touched by the umbra shadow of the earth. Third and last there is the prenumbral eclipse, it is when the moon passes through the prenumbral zone of the earth, a shadow lighter than the umbra, in this way at the time of the fact the moon darkens so little that it is almost imperceptible to the eyes.
Lunar eclipses are observable phenomena from any part of the earth, the phenomenon can last for hours and it is not necessary to use projectors to enjoy such a special event. According to information from NASA, lunar eclipses occur about twice a year, although not all of them are total.
Regarding the meaning in the spiritual aspect of eclipses, the moment in which the phenomenon occurs influences the decisions that you can make for your life, in the same way, the things that you ignore in your life and to which you do not give importance, and the projects that have been allowed to complete; because in the times of the waning cycle that follows, they have a direct relationship with the future that lies ahead.
The lunar eclipse is a full moon that will bring new beginnings for you, in this way, you can leave bad habits behind and start practicing new activities that strengthen your spirituality. Eclipses also have a high impact on relationships, it can increase the desire and need for one another or, on the contrary, completely distance them, facing a crisis that can lead to separation.
