　On the night of November 8, a "comprehensive lunar eclipse" in which the moon shines completely in the shadow of the earth was observed throughout Japan.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　A total lunar eclipse is a phenomenon that occurs when the sun, the earth, and the moon are aligned in a straight line, and the moon enters the shadow of the earth. When the light of the sun passes near the earth, the atmosphere plays the role of a lens and refracts. It is said that only the long red light, which is hard to scattered, illuminates the moon slightly, so the moon looks reddish and black.　　　　I hear that the color of the moon is also affected by the amount of dust in the atmosphere, and that if the dust is small, the color will be close to orange.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　At 6:09 pm, a "partial meal" where a part of the moon appears to be missing began, and this time the moon passed near the center of the shadow of the earth, so the total eclipse was 86 minutes from 7:16 to 8:42. The maximum food lasts at 7:59. After that, the moon gradually appeared, and the partial meal ended at 9:49.　　　　　　　　　　　　The next total lunar eclipse will be seen in Japan on September 8, 2025, about three years later.　　　　　　　　　　　　This time, from 20:41 to 21:00 during the lunar eclipse, the "Tenno Hoshi Shoku", where Uranus hides in the moon, was realized.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　It is very unusual for a planetary eclipse to occur simultaneously during a total lunar eclipse, and it is the first time in 442 years since Saturn eclipse in July 1580.　Uranus has a brightness of about 6 grades, and although it is difficult to observe with the Tenno star eclipse at a bright full moon, it is said that the moon was sufficiently dark and visible due to the total lunar eclipse this time. The next total lunar eclipse and planetary eclipse will be seen at the same time 322 years later.　　　　On the upper left of the Ishikawajima Lighthouse Monument (Tsukuda 1), a total lunar eclipse shining in "red bronze" is in progress, illuminated by the light that reaches slightly from the sun.
