Marshall, director of the Moreljead Planetarium in in Chapel Hill. _■ There will be a partial eclipse ^ visible on Februtry 10, 1952, and there are two partial eclipses of the sun visible here in 1951, one on March 7, near sunset, the other September l, near sunrise. The eclipse begins at 9:31 P, M., rs the lower left edge of the moon begins to enter the shadow, and a bite out of the bright moon begins to appear and to widen.., A moment before 10:45 P. M., the - eclipse is total, as the last bright part /f the moon disappears, at the top . of the moon’s image.'Totality lasts until about half a minute after 11:39, when the upper edge of the moon begins to emerge from the shadow. At 1:02, on Tuesday morning, Sept. 29, the bottom of the moon laast emerges from the shadow. L During the eclipse, the moon does not disappear, because the Earth’s atmosphere bends some light into the shadow, to illumi nate the moon faintly. And this light, because it has traveled through the Earth’s atmosphere, is reddish in color, just as a rising or setting Sun or Moon appears i eddish when the light must tra vel by a long path through the air.
