shadow on the moon at the crucial moment. In imagination, at least, an observer on the moon with a telescope might be able to make out the silhouettes of people standing right at Earth’s rim. If you’re outdoors in an open area at the time of sunset and moonrise that evening, maybe you can cast a shadow on the moon—though the shadow would be undetectably small. You’ll have an easier time seeing the eclipse if you watch the previous evening to see where the moon rises, and mark that spot on the horizon. The next evening, you can use that marker to help locate the darkened moon during the eclipse. The most fascinating part of a total lunar eclipse is the change in the moon’s color. There is no way to predict exactly what its color will be for a particular eclipse, but this time the moon is expected to be a brighter red or other color than it was during the very dark lunar eclipses of 1992 and 1993. On those dates, Earth’s upper atmosphere was polluted by dust from the tremendous volcanic eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Phillipines in 1991. That dust is finally gone, so more sunlight can through the atmosphere. Earth’s atmosphere scatters blue light from the sun in all directions (that’s why the sky is blue), but the atmosphere bends the sun’s red light into Earth’s shadow like a prism, and some of this red light reaches the moon’s surface. During a total lunar eclipse, you can see a full moon that looks much different from its familiar white. Comet Hyakutake will pass closest to Earth during early April, coming within 9.3 million miles of us. That may sound like a long distance, but it’s only about one-tenth of the distance between Earth and the sun. In the Northern Hemisphere, the comet will be a pretty sight in the north-northwest if you have binoculars and a dark, clear sky. Look to the lower left of Polaris, the North Star, which is almost due north for all observers. It will help to wait until after the moon sets, because the comet is a fuzzy ball of light that can be obscured by a hazy sky that diffuses both artificial light and moonlight. The comet’s tail will be pointing almost straight up, away from the sun. As you look toward the north-

west to see the comet, Venus will be the brilliant “evening star” that will catch your eye in the west. Venus will continue to outshine everything except the moon this month, setting almost four hours after the sun. Enjoy it while you can, however, for it will be diving toward the horizon during May. Mercury will make its best evening appearance of 1996 during April. From about April 10May 5, the elusive little planet will be unusually high above the westnorthwestern horizon after sunset. It will peak on the evening of April 23, coming into view about 30 minutes after sunset, and setting nearly two hours after the sun. Look for Mercury near the horizon almost directly below Venus, a little to the right. On April 19, Mercury will be just below and to the right of the new moon. Juniper will rise around la.m. during April, second in brightness only to Venus among this month’s planets. Jupiter will dominate the constellation Sagittarius the archer in the southern sky all month. Saturn will begin creeping out from behind the sun before dawn during April, but for most observers, it will be too low in the east to.be seen before it is overwhelmed by the brightening sky as dawn approaches. Mars will still be out of sight in the sun’s glare during April. The moon will be full on April 3, when it will be totally eclipsed; at third quarter on April 10, new on April 17, and at first quarter on April 25. Stamp Club sets meeting The Ben Franklin Stamp Club will meet in the Enos Borkholder Meeting Room at the Nappanee Public Library, Saturday, April 13, 10a.m. Dr. Forest Kendall, a local collector who is responsible for organization of the club, leads discussions concerning tips for new stamp collectors. Anyone in grade three through adult, with an interest in stamp collecting and trading, is invited to attend. Participants will learn more about stamps and stamp collecting. Activities include games and prizes. The club meets the second Saturday of each month, 10a.m., in the library.
