    Wednesday brings total eclipse of moon

     

    Sunday, October 24, 2004

     

    This year's Blood Moon will surely live up to its namesake — if only for a few hours. On Wednesday, the moon will be eclipsed by the Earth's shadow for roughly two hours, starting at 9:14 p.m., lasting until around 1 a.m. Thursday morning.

     

    When the moon rises around 5 p.m. it will loom over the eastern horizon, starkly exanimate and ashen. As night advances, this will change dramatically. Slowly, the moon will begin to dim, as if being consumed by a nebulous spectre.

     

    At the height of this eerie event, the moon will take on a deep, blood red glaze. After this, the moon will slowly brighten, and the cold, white, harsh full moon will continue along toward the western horizon. post-897-1098629523.jpgThe redness is actually the light of all the world's sunsets and sunrises occurring simultaneously across the globe, as viewed from the surface of the moon

     

    An eclipse will occur every time the moon slips into the million-mile long cone-shaped shadow produced by the surface of the Earth opposed to the sun. This shadow has two main sections to it, an outer shadow called the "penumbra," and a totally obscured darker portion called the "umbra."

     

    Penumbral eclipses occur when the moon enters the outer shadow region and isn't very spectacular to observe. (In fact, only astronomers get a hoot from these.)

     

    A total eclipse of the moon, like the one set to occur this Wednesday, happen when the full moon passes through the inner, darker shadow where all of the sunlight is obscured by the interloping Earth.

     

    The red hue of the moon during the height of a total eclipse is sunlight, but it is sunlight streaming onto the moon's surface through the thin ring of earthen atmosphere encircling our planet.

    I have about 650 episodes on my computer. I still don't have all of Voyager yet but I'm working on it.

    I think I've seen all of Voyager, my personal favorite, and most or all :frusty: of TNG. A few of TOS and DS9 and every Enterprise so far. So I may have voted a bit high???? OOPS too late, can't go back and re-vote :o
