Total Eclipse Of The Moon Will Occurs Today by aragon4realz(op): 5:47am On Oct 08, 2014
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 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.
