On the July 27th, at night fall, the Full Moon will rise eclipsed by the Earth’s shadow, which will make its observation a true challenge! However Mars, which on this night reaches opposition, will help us find the Moon as it rises in a direction close to the Moon at about the same time.
OLA offers a special thematic session in this Total Moon Eclipse night. Besides these objects, we will also have Saturn to observe and the Milky Way clearly visible during the total phase of the eclipse. This is the full program of this special session:
