The second total eclipse of the moon
this year. visible, as the first was, in
the United States, occurred Tuesday
night. The moon entered the shadow
at II o'clock, the totality beginning at
5 minutes past II aud ending Is min
utes before > The moon left the |
shadow at 6 minutes before 3. and the |
oenumbra at 6 minutes past 4. The
total eclipse last spring was but |
seen here. owing to the great |
extent of cloudiness over the sky, but |
sky gazers had good chance this time. |
The shadow made its first appearance |
1t the eastern limb of the moon. What /
s called the penumbrian phase of an
eclipse is never seen except by astrono-
ners. the entrance into the shadow is
he first visible phase. The interest in
he eclipse was almost wholly phenome
,al and popular. Not much is to be
rot for science from lunar eclipses.
