Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 166, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 July 1916 — Eclipse of the Moon Will Occur Friday Night. [ARTICLE]

Eclipse of the Moon Will Occur Friday Night.

An eclipse of the moon will take place July 14. The full moon will rise at 7:30. The eclipse will begin at 9:35. All eclipses of the moon come from the east. The eclipse will be central at 10:50, and will end at 12:27. When central eight-tenths of the moon’s diameter will be covered. Eclipses of the moon are caused by the passage of the earth between the sun and the moon. The shadow of the earth thus darkens the face of the moon. The truth of the order and stability of our planetary system is demonstrated by the fact that eclipses can be cal/ulated with the greatest precision, not only for years to come, but for centuries and ages, either past or to come.
