Total lunar eclipse that could not be seen


The full moon rising to Nairobi, just after the total lunar eclipse

On January 31, 2018, I could see the total lunar eclipse all over Japan, but I couldn't see it because there was no manager in Japan.

The meal was completely finished in Japan time at 24:11, and in Nairobi, where the caretaker lives, the moonrise is at 18:50 local time.

At 24:50 Japan time, it is the moonrise after the food is completely finished at the right time.

I wish I could see some of them missing, but I'm sorry.

Still, the full moon is a little different from usual just after the total lunar eclipse.

I observed the moon from the roof of the apartment with my son who finished his homework.

The fourth grade boy looks into the moon with binoculars and says "wonderful!"

The next total lunar eclipse will occur this year on July 27, 2018, at a time when the entire process can be observed in Kenya.

The maximum food is 23:22 in Kenya and 5:22 in Japan.

In Japan, it can be seen from the beginning of the eclipse to the beginning of the total lunar eclipse, but it gets brighter and the moon sets at the crucial point.

The total lunar eclipse that sinks on the horizon, horizon, and mountain ridges may be good for you.

The most memorable total lunar eclipse of the caretaker was from March 3rd to 4th, 2007.

I will write a little about that time.

At that time, I was investigating the Fusaka (the one who does not sting) that creates a huge mosquito column that occurs in Lake Malawi on the location scouting of the TV program based on the place called Nkhata Bay in Malawi.

The program is a project to rush a talent into a huge chironomid pillar.

He was investigating when and where a giant chironomid would occur.

Since it was known that the age of the chironomid was greatly related to the outbreak of chironomids, the causal relationship was investigated.

It was a full moon that day, so I dared to go out to the lake by boat in the middle of the night.

The sky cleared up and the full moon illuminated the lake and its surroundings brightly and fantastically.

The lakeside is immediately steep, with deep forests, and sometimes coves, where fishing villages pop.

After a while, the area became dark.

The full moon began to lack bronze when I looked up at the sky as if it had become cloudy.

I didn't know that the day was a lunar eclipse.

As the eclipse progressed, the number of stars increased, and the Milky Way slowly appeared.

And when the total lunar eclipse started, the area was surrounded by stars.

A dark moon with a mysterious color floats there.

The Milky Way can only be seen on a full moon night during a total lunar eclipse.

It was a fantastic and mysterious night.

The fact that I didn't have a camera, on the contrary, deeply impressed the manager's heart.

Even now, when I close my eyes, I can still feel the scent of the wind at that time.

At the end of the full moon night starry show, return to the lodge and have a cold beer.

It's time for a blessing, and we toasted a total lunar eclipse at a bar by the lake alone.
