Turn to the sky! The next 17 of september 2024 you will be able to see a partial lunar eclipse that will be visible in CDMX. A magical phenomenon awaits you, so don’t fall asleep and prepare everything to enjoy it.
According to NASA, this astronomical moment will be visible in America, Europe and Africa. First you should know that a lunar eclipse is when the Earth is positioned between the Moon and the Sun; sometimes the Moon is perceived as red.
There are three types of lunar eclipses: total, partial and penumbral. The one that will happen in September 2024 is partial, meaning that the Moon, Sun and Earth are imperfectly aligned and the Earth does not completely cover the Moon.
What time will the September 2024 eclipse begin?
Such an astronomical spectacle will kick off at 🕧 18:42 on September 17 and will run until the early hours of September 18, the perfect plan for those who suffer from insomnia! In Mexico City the peak will be at 20:45.
is it safe to look at the sky?
Yes, it is. In fact, you do not need to use any kind of protection or filter (as was the case with the april 2024 eclipse). Although it is not necessary, you could use binoculars, but you can also see it directly. We recommend that you attend a glamping o camp to maximize the experience of this show.
