An eclipse of the Moon occurs when Earth lies directly between the Sun and the Moon, meaning Earth's shadow falls on the Moon
An eclipse of the Moon occurs when Earth lies directly between the Sun and the Moon, meaning Earth’s shadow falls on the MoonDuring a total lunar eclipse, Royal Greenwich Observatory explains, “all three bodies – the Sun, the Earth and the Moon – lie in a straight line”. This means the Moon passes through the darkest part of the Earth’s shadow, known as the umbra.
However, during a partial lunar eclipse, which we will see this weekend, only part of the Moon travels through the Earth’s full umbral shadow.a partial lunar eclipse will be visible from the UK. It will also appear across the rest of Europe, Asia, Africa, and western Australia.Royal Greenwich Observatory said” “From the UK we’ll only see a small fraction of the full Moon pass into the umbra. At its maximum, which occurs at 9.
Another good way to see it up close it with a digital camera – which comes with the added bonus of being able to snap some photographs. Astronomer Tom Kerss advises: “You want to use the longest lens you have in order to zoom in, and that’s because, while we tend to think of the Moon as being a big object in the sky, it’s actually rather small.
“If you are going to be zooming in to minimise any shake in your photos you’ll want to use a tripod and remote shutter if you have one.”The majority of pre-modern calendars used the Moon as the basis for the names of their months, a convention ended by the introduction of the solar Julian and Gregorian calendars.
