Lunar Eclipse May 15/16 2022 Load in the Eclipses.skyset file to Starry Night. 1. Time and date when leading edge of moon enters penumbra: May 15,2022 - 21:34:22 2. What is the time and date when about half of the Moon is in penumbra: May 15,2022 - 22:03:22 3. What is the time and date when the trailing edge of the Moon enters the penumbra: May 15, 2022 - 22:31:22 4. What is the time and date when the leading edge of the moon enters the umbra May 15, 2022 - 22:29:22 5. What is the time and date when about half of the moon is in the umbra May, 15,2022 - 23:01:22 6. When the Moon has entered the umbra halfway, sketch the moon with a line between the penumbra and the umbra. (take a picture of a paper sketch or use a paint program and insert picture here.) 7. What is the time and date when the trailing edge of the moon enters the umbra: May 15, 2022 - 23:30:22 8. What is the time and date when the leading edge of the moon leaves the umbra May 16, 2022 - 00:56:22
9. What is the time and date when the trailing edge of the moon leaves the umbra May 16,2022 - 01:56:22 10. What is the time and date when the leading edge of the moon leaves the penumbra May 16,2022 - 01:55:22 11. What is the time and date when the trailing edge of the moon leaves the penumbra May 16,2022 02:52:22 12. Based on the times you recorded previously, what is the length of the total umbral lunar eclipse? An umbral lunar eclipse is about an hour long. 13. Based on the times you recorded previously, what is the length of the total penumbral lunar eclipse? A penumbral lunar eclipse is about 6 hours. 14. Based on the times you recorded above, for how long was the moon experiencing at least a partial eclipse? The moon was experiencing a partial eclipse for about 2-3 hours 15. Based on your drawing from question 6 what can you say about the shape of the Earth? About a quarter of the earth is dark because of the light of the moon 16. In your own words describe who could see this lunar eclipse and who could not The only people in the light side will ble able to see the lunar eclipse. Return to the instructions to set up the program to answer the next set of questions. IV. Total Solar Eclipse August 21st 2017 Clemson SC 17. When did the eclipse begin? (At least some piece of the sun covered by the moon) August 21, 13:08 18. What is the minimum separation of Moon and Sun in degrees:minutes:seconds format, during the eclipse? (see instructions on how best to measure this) 3°18’ 13.2” from the moon @ 291. 4° 19. What was the time of maximum eclipse? (Date and time of day of minimum angular separation) Aug 21 at 18:25:36 20. How long was the sun completely covered by the moon? (Define what you consider to be completely covered and estimate a time based on that definition) The sun was covered by the moon for about 2 min 21. When did the eclipse end? (No part of the sun covered by the moon)
Aug 21, - 14:39 22. How long did the eclipse last? (at least part of the sun covered by the moon) The eclipse lasted for 2 minutes 23. Describe the view of the sun during the totality of the eclipse. The sun was completely covered by the moon Return to the instructions to set up the program to answer the next set of questions. V. Annular Solar Eclipse of October 14, 2023 San Antonio TX 24. Start time of Eclipse: October 14,2023 - 10:23am 25. Time of maximum Eclipse: October 14,2023 - 11:54 26. End time of Eclipse: October 13,2023 - 13:33 27. Total time of at least partial eclipse: 3 hours 9 min 28. In your own words describe an annular eclipse. An annular eclipse is when the moon is right i between the earth and the sun. Return to the instructions to set up the program to answer the next set of questions. VI. Eclipse From Space August 21st 2017 Total Solar Eclipse Load in the Eclipsefromspace.skyset file to Starry Night 29. What is creating the shadow you see on the far left side of the Earth? The moon. 30. When does the penumbra of the shadow reach the west coast of the United States? Aug 21, 2017 - 12:05:22 31. When does the umbra of the shadow reach the west coast of the United States?(This is the very small darker circle in the center of the larger circle) Aug 21, 2017 - 13:22:22 32. When does the umbra reach the ocean on the east coast of the United States? Aug 21, 2017 - 13:16:22

33. When does the penumbra no longer touch any part of the United States? Aug 21, 2017 - 16:23:22 34. Describe who could see a total solar eclipse and who could see a partial solar eclipse during this eclipse event. Support your answer with what you see in Starry Night. The entire North America and some of the Northern Part of South America. When I play, the eclipse goes across North America and as it is moving East it is also slightly going South. VII. Eclipse Comparison and Review 35. Describe the alignment of the Earth, Moon and Sun during a lunar eclipse. During a Lunar eclipse the Earth is between the sun and the moon. 36. Describe the alignment of the Earth, Moon and Sun during a solar eclipse. During a Lunar eclipse the moon is between the sun and the Earth. Go to this time and date site and scroll down, https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/list.html 37. What is the average number of Lunar eclipses per year? 2 38. What is the average number of solar eclipses per year? 2 39. Look at the dates for the eclipses in 2025. How long after each lunar eclipse does the solar eclipse occur? Does this make sense with what you know about the motion of the moon? A solar eclipse will occur 5 months after a lunar eclipse. Yes. 40. Based on all the data you collected are you more likely to see a total solar eclipse or a total lunar eclipse? Explain in detail. (Consider how often eclipses occur, how long they last, and who is able to view them when they occur) Im most likely to see a total lunar eclipse, because of the earths shadow in the moon during a Lunar eclipse
