Exactly one year separates humanity from an exciting astronomical phenomenon - the largest lunar eclipse, which should become the most spectacular in history, writes Space.com.
As scientists predict, on August 21 next year, there will be a grandiose eclipse of the moon. About 220 million people will be able to see it, including residents of 14 American states at once. Such coverage, according to astronomers, will be able to collect a lunar eclipse for the first time since 1979.
Lunar eclipses usually attract the attention of fewer people than solar ones. But scientists say that the eclipses of the moon are not inferior in their beauty to the eclipses of the sun.
Millions of Americans will be able to make sure of this, because the United States will literally be traced out with an eclipse line. It, as experts predict, will follow diagonally from Oregon through Kansas and Tennessee to the center of the country through South Carolina. Also, the largest lunar eclipse can be observed by residents of a dozen more states.
The grandiose astronomical phenomenon next year could have a positive effect on the tourism industry in the United States and other countries, where it will be clearly visible, because thousands of so-called eclipse hunters live on Earth, who roam the world in pursuit of breathtaking views in the sky.
