A total lunar eclipse will take place on Sunday evening. The phenomenon may be seen in many places in the Netherlands, but that depends on the clouds in the border area with Germany.
In a lunar eclipse, the earth is exactly between the sun and the moon. The earth therefore blocks part of the sunlight. Due to the limited sunlight that reaches the moon, the moon gets a red color. That is called a blood moon.
The highlight of the total lunar eclipse on Sunday evening starts at 8.12 pm. Because the moon has only appeared just above the horizon and the sun only undergoes at 8.15 pm, the lunar eclipse is best perceptible between 8.25 pm and 8.53 pm above the eastern horizon.
Although it is not yet completely dark, the moon will be clearly visible at that time. There will also be a yellow -colored celestial body in the sky on Sunday evening. That is the planet Saturn, Weeronline reports. Saturn can be seen near the moon during the entire embezzlement.
“I would definitely look,” says Berend van Straaten van Weeronline to Nu.nl. According to him, there is a good chance that the lunar eclipse is clearly visible. “Regionally it will certainly be clear.”
Jacket is not necessary while looking at the lunar eclipse
Visibility mainly depends on veil clouds that are expected in the east of the country and above Germany. “That is not the easy clouds type to predict,” says Van Straaten. The clouds are higher, making it difficult to make an estimate of the thickness.
The question is therefore whether the veil clouding in the east is extracting the view and, if so, for which places in the Netherlands that have consequences for the visibility of the lunar eclipse. Van Straaten thinks that the phenomenon will be visible in certain places anyway, but it is difficult to say where exactly.
Yet he mainly advises people to look. “For those who are going to make an attempt, a jacket is certainly not necessary,” he says. “After a summer day, it is also remarkably warm during the lunar eclipse, with in almost the entire country above 20 degrees.”

The Climax of the Total Lunar Eclipse on Sunday Evening Starts at 8:12 pm. Because the moon has only just appeared above the horizon and the sun will only set at 8:15 pm, the Lunar Eclipse is best visible between 8:25 pm and 8:53 PM Above the Eastern Horizon.
AltheHe it will not be complete Dark Yet, The Moon Will Be Clearly Visible at That Time. There will also be a yellow celestial body in the sky next to the blood moon on Sunday Evening. That is the planet Saturn, Reports Weeronline. Saturn is Visible Near the Moon Throughhout the Eclipse.

No Jacket Needed While Watching the Lunar Eclipse
Visibility Mainly Depends on the Veil of Cloud That Is Expected in the East of the Country and Above Germany. “That is not The Easiest Type of Cloud Cover to Predict,” Says van Straaten. The Clouds Are Higher, Making It Difficult to Estimate the Thickness.
The Question is Therefore Whether the Veil of Cloud in the East Will Obstruct the View and, If So, What Conthequences This Will Have For The Visibility of the Lunar Eclipse in which Places in the Netherlands. Van Straaten Thinks That the Phenomenon Will Be Visible in Certain Places Anyway, but It is Difficult to Say Exactly Where.
Yet he mainly advises people to go and have a look. “For those who are going to make an attempt, a jacket is definitely not necessary,” he says. “After a Summer’s Day, It is Still Remarkly Warm Turning the Lunar Eclipse, With Temperatures Above 20 Degrees in Almost the Entire Country.”
