A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes through the Earth’s shadow. During the July 16 — 17 lunar eclipse shadow (see accompanying diagram) and at mid-eclipse about 55 percent of the moon’s disk will be obscured. I The Earth's shadow is composed of two parts, the UMBRA and the PENUMBRA. The umbra is the darkest part of the shadow where almost all of the sun’s light is blocked out. The umbra is encircled by the penumbra, the lighter part of the shadow in which only a small part of the sun’s light is blocked out. When the moon enters the Earth's penumbral shadow only a slight darkening of the moon may be noticed. The real show begins when the moon enters the umbra. The moon will move deeper and deeper into the dark umbral shadow until, during this particular eclipse, more than half of the moon will be obscured. After mid-eclipse the moon will move slowly out of the Earth's shadow. Thursday night's lunar eclipse will begin at 10:05 p m. when the moon begins to move into the penumbral shadow. The umbral phase begins at 11:25 p.m. and mid-eclipse occurs at 12:47 a.m. The moon will leave the umbra at 2:09 a.m. and the penumbra at 3:28 a.m. When the eclipse begins the moon will be high in the southeast. This eclipse should be very interesting to watch since you do not need a telescope or even binoculars to enjoy it (although they would be helpful). That’s it for this week, HAPPY ECLIPSE-GAZING! 1!!!
