The morning times., 1895-09-04

The total eclipse Of the moon last
night was observed under the most favor
able conditions The sky was without a
cloud Tor three hours and flfty-four min
utes, during which the phenomenon waA
being developed. IN this respect it was
an Infinitely superior and more beautiful
exhibition rnau the eclipse which oC-
CURED earlier in the year
In the latter eclipse the shadow first
appeared on the lower limb OF the moon,
while last night the shadow began to
creep over the face OF our satellite from
a point on the upper left OF the rim
The programme was carried out pre-
cisely as the astronomers had predicted
The entrance Of the moon into the penum-
bra, so far as the naked eye was eou-
cerued, had to be taken for granted. but
at II p m, the time fixed for the
plunge into the shadow. that incident
was distinctly observable.
A BEAUTIFUL SPECTACLE
From that time until six minutes after
midnight the moon went through all the
phases which are ordinarily observed from
the full 10 the new When IT was aLous
half immersed in the shadow a little sJar
OF about the third magnitude began TO
twinkle about n diameter Of the moon east
of that body. and so0nafter wards f0urstars
OF the same magnitude appeared to the east.
The moon was therefore set in starry
triangle, il being very near rthe apex, making
an unusually lovely celestial picture
Just before the total extiDguishment OF
the light a brilliant segment remained,
which slowly fHckered until the shadow
completely veiled the woDder-worker.
The copper color Of the moon immersed IN
the shadow was usually decided IN tint
These ccIIpses are taken advantage OF by
| astronomers To- note the oCcuitatiOus of the
stars By comparison OF observations
/ between stations where eclipses are Hoted,
il is easy 10 determine the exact path OF
| these oCcuIted stars across the hidden side
/ Of the moon, and from these paths they can
measure with great accuracy the diameter
| or the moon. They also determine the
\ longitude OF stars.
AT THE NAVAL OBSERVATORY.
/ 1t was for the former purpose especially
that the observations by the Photographic
/ transit were made last night at the naval
/ observatory mere were buJ Ie" StdEs
| and those telescope in the line OF the moou'l
| orbit.
The copper color is caused by the light
| OF the sun refracted into the earth's at
mosphere and in that mild quality re-
veaHng the face Of the moon.
| The cause OF ecTpSes OF the moon, as was
but recently explained in The Times, is
the earth coming between the moon and the
sun when the moon is in the plane Of the
earth's orbit such an eclipse can only
ccur at fun moon

The eclipse was over at 2.54 O'Clock
this morning, all the phases occupying
three hours and fifty-four minutes.
