Longest Moon tclipse since 1859 1233 A.M. .*37 w MCCULLOM LAKE Dawn Miller 385-4901 :fc Conservation Club Meeting TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE July 6,1982 3:24 South Courtesy of the anetarium The longest total eclipse of the moon since 1899 will provide a grand finale to the Fourth of July holiday weekend. Weather permitting, the eclipse will be visible in the southern sky above Chicagoland from late Monday night, July 5, until early Tuesday morning. Beginning at 12:30 a.m., Tuesday, the Adler Planetarium and the Chicago Astronomical society will present a special Eclipse Watch program on the plaza, west of the Planetarium, where telescopes will be set up for public observing of this rare celestial phenomenon. According to Associate Astronomer Larry Ciupik, the moon will be totally covered by the earth's shadow for almost two hours. The total phase of the eclipse will begin at 1:38 a.m. and end at 3.24 a.m. One reason the total phase will last so long is that at the time of this eclipse the moon will be at nearly the greatest distance from the earth that it ever reaches. "The farther the moon is from the earth, the more slowly it moves," Ciupik explains, "so it will take longer for the moon to pass through the shadow of the earth." This eclipse will also be longer than usual because the moon will pass through the widest {iart of the earth's shaidow, near the exact center. Usually the moon passes through the shadow either above or below the center. Although the first phase of the eclipse will actually begin at 11:22 p.m., Monday night, the moon will not look very different from normal until 12:33 a.m., when it begins to enter the darkest part of the earth's shadow. Ciupik advises eclipse observers to begin by looking for "a darkening on the eastern edge of the moon, just after 12:30. As the moon moves far­ ther into the shadow, you will notice that the 'circle' of the moon will look a little lopsided and then it will look as if someone has taken a bite out of it." By 1:38 a.m., the moon will be completely shadowed by the earth. Unlike the sun during a solar eclipse, the moon usually does not disappear from sight during the total phase of the eclipse "but," says Ciupik, "that's what makes a lunar eclipse so in­ teresting to observe. "Depending on conditions in the earth's atmosphere the eclipsed moon could appear copper colored, or orange, or even brick red. It could look like a bright, round balloon suspended in the southern sky." For the next hour and 46 minutes the moon will remain totally eclipsed. At 2:31 a.m., when the moon reaches its maximum immersion in the shadow, it may appear dark in the center with a reddish border around the edge. As the total phase draws to its end at 3:24 a.m., the moon will begin to emerge from the dark shadow. The eastern edge will brighten first and by 4:29 a.m., the moon will again appear "normal" even though the final phase of the eclipse won't end until 5:40 a.m. At the Planetarium Eclipse watch, staff astronomers and members of the CAS will be on hand to explain the eclipse as it is occurring and will help people observe the moon through telescopes. It is, however, not necessary to go to the Planetarium to see the eclipse. Ciupik is quick to assure people that a lunar eclipse can be seen clearly - and safely - with the naked eye, or, for an enhanced view, it can be seen very well with binoculars. As Ciupik explains it, in order for a total eclipse of the moon to occur the sun, earth and moon must be in a direct line with one another, with the earth between the sun and the moon. A lunar eclipse can only occur when the moon is full, because that is the only time in its orbit around the earth that the moon comes into a position opposite the sun. Although it might seem that we should have a lunar eclipse at every full moon, that is not the case. Ciupik explains "the path of the moon as jl revolves around the earth is at about a five degree angle to the path the earth takes around the sun. During each month the two paths intersect at only two points, called 'nodes.' "For a total lunar eclipse the moon "must be near one of the nodes so it will pass through the shadow of the earth. If it isn't near one of these points of intersection, the shadow will be either above or below the moon and there > will be no eclipse. "By contrast, a solar eclipse can only occur during the new moon phase, when the moon is between the sun and the earth. During a total eclipse of the sun, the moon comes between the sun and the earth, hiding the sun and casting the shadow of the moon on the earth." A particular total solar eclipse can be seen only in a small part of the world, but a total lunar eclipse can be seen from anywhere on earth where it McHENRY'S 2nd Annual FIREWORKS DISPLAY Sunday, July 4th From 9:30 pm 'til ?
