Blood moon alarm: Total lunar eclipse over Brandenburg on September 7th!

Lunar eclipse details
The total lunar eclipse is a rare event that occurs every two to three years. Not every full moon necessarily leads to a lunar eclipse, like this MDR describes. In fact, this particular shape only occurs when the sun, earth and moon are in line, with the earth moving between the moon and sun. On September 7th, the moon will only be partially visible because it will already be “eclipsed” when it enters the eclipse and will not appear as a “supermoon”.
Visibility will be available throughout central Germany and Europe in clear weather. If you live in Mainz, for example, you can see the moon at 7:54 p.m., while in Trier it rises at 8:01 p.m. Peak totality will occur at 8:11 p.m., and the period of total darkness will last until 8:52 p.m. The higher the moon is in the sky, the easier it is to observe the spectacle - tip: avoid hills or mountains!
