Partial Lunar eclipse September 7
The
second lunar eclipse of the year is a rather small partial eclipse. The
penumbral phase begins at 16:42 UT, but most observers will not be able
to visually detect the faint shadow until about 17:30 UT. A timetable
for the major phases of the eclipse is as follows:
Penumbral Eclipse Begins: 16:42:23 UT
Partial Eclipse Begins: 18:05:03 UT
Greatest Eclipse: 18:51:21 UT
Partial Eclipse Ends: 19:37:41 UT
Penumbral Eclipse Ends: 21:00:20 UT
In
spite of the fact that the eclipse is shallow (the Moon's northern limb
dips just 6.3 arc-minutes into Earth's dark umbral shadow), the partial
phase lasts over 1 1/2 hours. This is due to the grazing geometry of
the Moon and umbra.
At
the instant of greatest eclipse (18:51 UT), the Moon will stand near
the zenith for observers in the central Indian Ocean . At that time,
the umbral eclipse magnitude will be 0.190. The event is best seen from
Africa, Asia, Australia and Eastern Europe . Unfortunately, none of the
eclipse is visible from North America . The Moon's path through Earth's
shadows as well as a map illustrating worldwide visibility is shown in Figure 4
