Total Eclipse Os The Moon Visible In Ind. Sept. 26th A total eclipse of the moon will occur on the evening of Thursday, Sept. 26, and will be visible to residents of Indiana and the eastern half of the United States, if weather permits, according to Howard Brooks, DePauw University professor of physics and astronomy. A lunar eclipse happens when the moon passes into the Earth’s shadow, or umbra, that extends into space on the night side of the Earth. The moon will begin to enter the darker shadow cast by the Earth at 8:12 p.m. EST, Brooks said. The total eclipse, during which the moon is completely within the Earth’s shadow, will begin at 9:19 p.m. and end at 10:29 p.m. EST. The moon will leave the umbra at 11:36 p.m. During the total eclipse, the moon will not disappear but will grow darker and may appear reddish or purplish in color, Professor Brooks explained. Brooks also said that Indiana residents should be able to view the lunar eclipse from their backyards, but they will get a clearer look if they move away from brightly lit areas. An interesting sidelight of the astronomical event will be the close proximity of the planet Saturn to the moon during the eclipse, Brooks said. Saturn will be located about three-degrees to the south of the moon, or a distance of about six lunar diameters. NOTICE The Oregon Township Senior Citizens will meet on Thursday, Sept. 19, at 12 noon, at St. Dominic’s Church Hall. You are asked to bring your own table service. The meal will be catered and come out and enjoy the fellowship and visit, play cards and also feel free to bring along a friend or two. *♦* Send A Happy Ad The distance is nothing; it is only the first step that is difficult.
