All India People’s Science Network (AIPSN) is organising the Copper Moon Campaign for viewing of the ‘super blue blood moon eclipse’ happening on January 31, 2018.
This rare phenomenon occurring after more than 150 years will see the convergence of three lunar events, a lunar eclipse, a supermoon, and a blue moon.
AIPSN has put together different facts about the event on their campaign website, coppermoon18.wordpress.com. Enthusiasts can view information about the equipment required to watch an eclipse, how the eclipse can be experienced best, how to determine the time at which the eclipse will happen at your location, etc. Questions about how and why eclipses happen are also answered on the website. Resource material on the website is available in 11 regional Indian languages.
AIPSN is a national platform of 40 science movements across the country which regularly work towards promotion of scientific temper.
The campaign also encourages people to organise local viewings for their neighbourhood, schools, or colleges.
The campaign is being endorsed by International Centre for Theoretical Science, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Astronomical Society of India, and Bangalore Astronomers' Association.
