WE HAVE A PARTIAL ECLIPSE COMING NEXT WEEK ON THE NINETEENTH.
LET S POP INTO THE SKY SO I CAN SHOW YOU HOW TO SEE IT.
LUNAR ECLIPSES HAPPEN WHEN THE MOON PASSES THROUGH THE EARTH S SHADOW.
THE SHADOW HAS TWO PARTS: UMBRA, AND PENUMBRA.
THIS TIME AROUND, ABOUT 97-PERCENT OF THE MOON WILL BE IN SHADOW, SO NOT QUITE A TOTAL ECLIPSE.
WE CALL THESE PENUMBRAL ECLIPSES!
ON TOP OF THAT, OUR MOON IS AT APOGEE MEANING ITS FURTHEST POINT IN ORBIT SO IT APPEARS SMALLEST!
ALL OF THE US AND HAWAII SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THIS ECLIPSE.
IT LL START AROUND ONE AM EASTERN, PEAK AROUND THREE HOURS LATER, ENDING AROUND SIX AM.
I LOVE AN ECLIPSE OF ANY KIND.
THEY RE BEAUTIFUL REMINDERS OF HOW OUR SOLAR SYSTEM WORKS!
THIS WEEK THE MOON LL HAVE A LIL CONJUNCTION WITH SATURN ON WEDNESDAY THEN JUPITER ON THURSDAY.
DON T MISS THE SHOW; KEEP LOOKIN UP!
