Total eclipses of the moon do not al
ways present the same appearance. Usu-
ally at the time Of totally its aspect is as
above described; the moon looks like big
copper ball, and it is still bright enough
for one to make out easily with tele-
scope or opera glass all of its prominent
features. Sometimes. particularly when
the moon does not pass centrally through
the earth's shadow-and this was the case

ow's edge it is Illuminated at totality

the spectacle one of peculiar beauty. One

or perhaps is blush or greenish. The rea-
son of this play Of colors is that even al
the time Of totally, when the earth lies
exactly between the sun and the moon,
some of the suns rays passing through
the earth's atmosphere are bent by re-
fraction to such an extent that they
strike the moon, and these refracted rays
are tinged with prismatic colors besides
being given the sunset hues due TO moist
ure and other impurities in the earth
atmosphere.
The moons movements in the heavens
which determine the times a which size

a lunar eclipse. or may pass directly BE-
