“Moon to Be Biotted Out By Earth’s Shadow; Good Visibility Likely. By DAVID DIETZ Scripps-Howard Science Editor ‘A total eclipse of the moon will ‘occur on the night of Tuesday, Aug. ). It will be visible in all parts ‘of the United States. ~ There was a time when men ‘Sought to ‘read the dictates of heaven in celestial phenoruena. According to Herodotus, the Medes and the Lydians were in the midst of a battle when an eclipse ‘of the sun occured on May 28, ‘885 B. C. As the sun slowly con-

‘tracted to a creséent and then disappeared completely from view, the

two armies decided that their bat-|:

‘tle was displeasing to the gods and their generdls arranged a truce on the spot. 4 Another eclipse of the moon, on March 1, 1504, was the means of ‘saving the life of Christopher CoJumbus. At the time hie was on the; sland of Jamaica. The natives ‘had refused to supply him and his . men with food and they were faced “with starvation. 3+ Columbus, knowing the eclipse was due, sent word to the natives that he would blot out the moon ‘tinless food was forthcoming. When the eclipse began they implored him to restore the moon and promdsed all the food he wanted. i Belipses are a consequence of the " notions of the earth and the moon. The earth is revolving around the sun at a distance of 93,000,000 Miles. The moon is revolving around the €arth at a distance of 240,000 miles. An eclipse occurs when the three get in a straight dine. - If, at the time, the moon is between the sun and the earth, there is an eclipse of the sun. If the moon is on the opposite side cof the earth, there is an eclipse of the; moon.

. Here's the Schedule

The schedule for the eclipse on Ang. 25 is as follows: Moon enters penumbra, or outer, ‘lighter portion of earth’s shadow at 8:01 p. m., Indianapolis Time. - Moon enters umbra, or inner, ‘darker portion of earth’s shadow ‘at 9 p. m. Total phase of eclipse begins: at 30 p. m. Middle of the eclipse is reached at 10:48 p. m. Total phase ends at 11:35 p. m.| ' Moon leaves umbra at 12:35 a. m. Moon leaves penumbra and eclipse ends at 1:34 a. m.

Moon Appears Red

As the eclipse begins, a small ' portion of the eastern edge of the moon gradually grows dim and finally disappears. Gradually more and more of the moon’s face is hidden from view as the moon moves further into the earth's shadow. After a time, however, it will be “noted that the part of the moon fmmersed in the shadow is not in- “ yisible but shining with a faint light. When the eclipse becomes total, the moon is seen to be shining with a dull red coior,

The moon is then glowing with :

what might be called “earthshine.” Some of the sunlight just grazing the earth’s atmosphere is refracted _:or bent around the earth, and so ‘strikes the moon in spite of the “fact that the moon is: within the
