From "Il Corriere della Sera

will be an eclipse of the Moon of insomniacs, that of the night between Wednesday 20 and Thursday, February 21. Spectacular total eclipse, during which you can see the white disc of the full moon darken slowly swallowed by the shadow of the Earth.

As is the case for years, during major astronomical events, Corriere.it will connect with an Italian amateur telescope Union (IAU) to offer its readers the spectacle of the Red Moon, so that the color it usually takes our satellite as they rode in the shadows. The direct on Corriere.it will start in the early hours of Wednesday 21, about an hour and a half hours after midnight, when the Moon will enter in the shadows. But only after 02.42 at the time of first contact with the shadow, you can appreciate the obvious reduction of the lunar disk. The phase of totality, that is complete obscuration of the moon will last just under an hour, from 04 at 04.51. Then, until the early hours of the day, who will resist falling asleep can watch the gradual return of the condition of the full moon. To give a touch of originality to the problem, there is the apparent approach of the star Regulus (the brightest of the constellation Leo) to the lunar disc, a little 'shine the most distant planet Saturn. E 'expected to follow the event is the telescope of the observatory located UAI-Skylive Pedara, Etna. But, in case of bad local weather conditions, will come into operation other astronomical positions.
