we on earth associate with color
full sunsets. e
The scientific explanation for a
lunar eclipse is that the moon
passes into the sun-earth axis be-
yond the earth, and falls into the
shadow cast by the earth. q
Total lunar eclipses do not occur
too often, according to Professor
Wylie. the next one not coming
onto the scene until Jan. %, 1853.
In the past, lunar eclipses have
proved most valuable in dating
ancient history, the professor ex-
planned. Six eclipses, three of the
sun and three of the moon, were
observed in Babylon and recorded
on Assyrian tablets.
Professor Wylie said that one
of the six was the solar eclipse
of Ninevah" to which reference
is made in the Bible in Amos VIM.
9, and which occurred June Is,
763, B. C. IA.
The lunar eclipse visible in
Jerusalem on March 1918, B. C,
fixed the time of the death of
Herod the Great, and consequently
established that Jesus Christ was
born prior to March of B. c., the
professor said.

TOTAL ECLIPSE OFMOON
is VISIBLE MLONDON

Monday nights harvest moon
lost nearly an hour of its
brilliance when a total eclipse OBJ
scured its face.
The spectacle was visible all
over North America, according to
Lloyd r. Wylie, head of Witten-
berg Colleges astronomy de-
partment.
Because the earth reverses its
usual role and reflects light onto
the moon, the eclipsed satellite
was not black during the event,
but copper color.
Although the point may be hard
to prove, scientists claim that one
of the most beautiful sights in the
universe is to be found by watch
ing an eclipse of the moon-from
the moon.
This assertion comes from the
fact. that a beautiful red halo
would be seen by anyone on the
moon who might be glancing to-
ward the earth during a lunar
eclipse.
The earth's atmosphere. approx
imately zoo miles in depth. would
be Illuminated by sunlight and
would shine In the glowing colors
