This Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. the shadow of Teide, the highest peak in Spain located on the island of Tenerife, will align itself with the full moon.
El Teide , a volcano with an altitude of 3,718 meters above sea level and 7,500 meters above the ocean floor, will be part of a spectacular phenomenon that will also be broadcast on the internet, specifically on the web live.volcanolife.com, from to the upper station of the Teide Cable Car.
The process will begin with sunset at around 8:30 p.m. Spanish time . The shadow of Teide will then be projected towards the eastern horizon and its shadow will travel through the Tenerife National Park as the Sun sets. The most spectacular moment will occur when the Sun is about to disappear below the horizon, since the shadow of the volcano will be appreciated with great clarity and beauty. Right in the place indicated by this large triangular shadow, the full moon will appear in all its splendor.
The alignment of the shadow of the highest peak in Spain with the Earth's natural satellite will last only a few minutes until night falls over day. This natural wonder will be replaced by a splendid full moon.
