This is the last part of the stellar samples, for this second part we expect the rain of comets, as well as the possibility of seeing a Neptune through a telescope without mentioning the sighting of the "Moon of Blood", nothing more to add here the latest list of astronomical phenomena of 2018:

  • Red Moon: at the end of July you will be able to witness a phenomenon that will be seen only from Europe, Africa and Central Asia, it is the so-called "Red Moon" or "Moon of Blood", and an eclipse will be created total lunar The moon will pass through the umbra, the shadow that is projected on the Earth, and the entire moon disc will have an orange or reddish color.

  • Perseids: for the month of August, exactly on days 12 and 13, a rain of Perseids is expected. It should be noted that NASA expects them to be seen easily, unlike previous occasions, since the full moon does not reach until the 26th, so there will be little light.

  • Neptuno: during the month of September it will be possible to appreciate Neptuno, the planet farthest from the earth, like a small blue dot, Neptuno will be very bright and will be able to see itself in the night, that if, in a very small size.

  • Orionids: are very bright meteors left by the rest of Comet Halley, for October 2 this star show is expected.

  • Leonidas: for November 17 and 18 a rain of Leonidas is expected, these were produced by the rest of comet dust Swift Tuttle, this rain can be seen from any point of the sky.

  • Gemínidas: It is expected that December 7 and 17 may see a shower of stars, which for many experts is considered one of the best of the year since there will be many stelae and may be different colors, surely this will be a very special event with who will say goodbye this 2018.
