I jTo/»/ Eclipse of tbs Moon Nov, 27 I
earlV^TN
THE MORNING V BEGINS
'
VmhU f r o m beginning to end everywhere in the United States, there
w. be a total eclipse of the moon early in the morning of November 27th.
he chart above provides a graphic time-table of the eclipse.
Total Eclipse of the Moon
Visible on November 27
- I —— : :—i
But You'll Have to Beholden Tornado To
Up Early to See It! ! Meet Shelby Friday
t
Everyone in the United States will
have the opportunity of seeing the
total eclipse of the moon coming No
vember 27—but the spectators will
have to be pretty early. For the
moon will enter the earth's shadow
at 2:24 A. M., eastern standard time.
I Total eclipse begins at 3:33 and lasts
(until 4:29 o'clock, when the moon
! begins to emerge. At 5:39 A. M.,
,the eclipse will be over. Central
'times are one hour earlier, mountain
] times two hours and Pacific times
i three hours. •
The moon will probably not dis
appear from view although entirely
within the shadow for nearly an
hour. Considerable sunlight is re
fracted into the shadow through the
ring of the earth's atmosphere
around the base of the shadow. The
moon at that time will be dim and
noticeable red like the setting sun.
During a lunar eclipse, recent ob
servations have shown, the moon's
surface temperature drops from 170
degrees Fahrenheit immediately be
fore the eclipse to 190 degrees below j
zero during the total phase.
A drop of 360 degrees in an hour
or two! Some cold wave! Of course,
no one lives on the moon, for it is
airless and barren. The absence of
atmospheric protection permits the
sudden change in temperature. Dur
ing the long lunar night, a thermom
ehter at the surface would register
not higher than 150 degrees below
zero.
The earth's cinical shadow stretch- •
es nearly a million miles into space, j
At intervals of 29 1-2 days the moon, |
then at the full phase, overtakes the
shadow; but it passes usually above
or below and there is no eclipse. The
number of lunar eclipses in a year
varies from three to none at all.
Some of them are only partial and
not visible from the earth. Astron
omers now know far in advance the
times and circumstances of eclipses.
At the times of full moon, near the
middle and the end of the year, con- j
ditions are most favorable for j
eclipses.

Goldsboro, N. C., Nov. 12.—Appeal j
that factionalism in North Carolina
be forgotten since the political cam
paign is over, was contained in a
statement issued Thursday by Colon
el John D. Langston, who was chair
man of the Democratic veterans or
ganization.
"Let us bury permanently three
words," the statement said: "they are
"Smithites, anti-Smithites and Hoov
er Democrats.' As these words have
served their purposes,. let us forget
them to the end that bitter memor
ies may die with them.. To the erst
while Smithites T would say that I
am firmly convinced that Governor
Smith would have it so. He knows
how to take defeat..
"To the erstwhile anti-Smithites I
would say that I am convinced that
the conscientious opponents of Gov
ernor Smith would have it so.
"To the erstwhile Hoover Democrats
I would say that you have just been
out visiting; night is coming on and
it's time to come home.""
