LUNAR ECLIPSE ON 31ST JANUARY 2018
what is Lunar Eclipse
Lunar eclipse occurs when Sun,Earth and Moon are in line with each other perfectly. Earth occupies the middle in this position earth blocks the sun rays and the shadow covers the Moon.hence Earth shadow blocks the Sun light which would have reflects off the Moon.
How Eclipse happens in Full Moon and rarely too.
The Moon takes 27.3 days to complete its orbit around Earth.When Moon orbits around Earth it illuminated by Sun and this aillumination varies depending on Sun's angle.At New Moon Moon is placed between Earth and Sun , so the Moon shows the side that doesn't reflects any Sun light and thus it looks dark.A few days after as Moon progresses around earth it gradually began to reflect the Sun light and this face is called Waxing Moon.A week later Moon gets 90° away from the Sun and shows half illuminated from our earth's view .This phase is called first quarter.As days progresses the illuminated part also gets wider and this phase is called waxing gibbous Moon .when Moon has progressed 180° then Sun,Earth and Moon are inline together and Moon's disc is in a perfectly close position for being illuminated by Sunlight.So this is called Full Moon .Again Moon moves and when it reaches a position in which it appears to be illuminating more than half of its disc ,but in contrary to waxing phase it is decreasing in amount.hence it is called Waning Gibbous phase .Some Days later when Moon completes another quarter of its orbit ,Now almost half of Moon's disc is illuminated by Sunlight.This is the Third quarter phase.when Moon moves again in its path it reaches the Waning- crescent phase in which less than half of it's face appears shining and it is decreasing too.Finally Moon moves back to its starting phase New moon position.As both these planet's orbit around the Sun is different and they rarely get aligned perfectly.The Moon travels above or below the Sun from our view ,but when occasionally it moves right in front of the Sun and thus the Eclipse occurs.
Lunar Eclipse does not occur every full moon because Moon's orbit is inclined to Earth's orbit by about 5 degrees.Moon converges Earth's orbit twice a month and the this points are known nodes.When Moon moves from south to north in its orbit it is ascending node and descending node if Moon moves from north to south.When Full Moon comes considerably close to one of these nodes then Lunar Eclipse Happens.
Earth directs tow kinds of shadows upon Moon during the Lunar eclipse .Umbra the complete dark shadow and Penumbra is the partial outer shadow.
The eclipse can be divided in to many stages depending upon the contact points.
