Sky watchers and observers of the lunar system
will notice an extremely rare cosmic sight
tomorrow, October 8, when a total lunar eclipse is
expected to occur in different parts of the world.
The total eclipse of the moon, according to the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), will result in a
clash simultaneous rising of the sun in what
scientists have called “selenelion,” a phenomenon
that celestial geometry says cannot happen.
During the lunar eclipse, the sun and moon will be
exactly 180 degrees apart in the sky. In a perfect
alignment like this (called a “syzygy”), such an
observation would seem impossible.
The images of both the sun and moon are
expected to be lifted above the horizon by
atmospheric refraction. This will allow people on
earth to see the sun for several extra minutes
before it actually has risen and the moon for
several extra minutes after it has actually set.
As a consequence of this atmospheric trick,
watchers in different locations will have a chance
to observe this unusual sight firsthand, with the
possibility of simultaneously seeing the sun rising
in the east, while the eclipsed full moon is setting
in the west.
