What are lunar eclipses? Shadows are…  When you walk outside on a sunny day, you can see your shadow.  A shadow is formed when an object blocks a light.

1 Lunar and Solar and Eclipses

Eclipses When the moon’s shadow hits Earth or Earth’s shadow hits the moon, an eclipse occurs. There are 2 types of eclipses: solar (sun) eclipse & lunar.

2 Eclipse Overview: What is an Eclipse Orbital Planes Line of Nodes Elements of a Shadow Lunar Eclipse Solar Eclipse

© BRIEF Eclipse Eclipse: What is it: An astronomical event that occurs when an astronomical object is temporarily obscured, either by passing into the shadow of another body or by having another body pass between it and the viewer

© BRIEF Eclipse Eclipse: DO NOT occur every month…why? The orbits of Moon around the Earth, and Earth around the Sun are not on same plane Lunar orbit inclined 5 degrees. Eclipse only occurs when orbital planes line up Eclipses occur in pairs: Solar…Lunar, or Lunar…Solar Time duration of an eclipse: Lunar: up to a few hours Solar: a few minutes DEMONSTRATION:

© BRIEF Eclipse Eclipse: Orbital Planes When orbital planes do not line up, an eclipse does not occur

© BRIEF Eclipse Eclipse: Orbital Planes Nodes: Two points where the Moon’s orbit crosses the inclination to the ecliptic Two points line on the “Line of Nodes” Nodes rotates westward 19.4° per year due to Sun’s gravitational effect on orbits. Rotation of the nodes causes an eclipse season every 173 days.

© BRIEF Eclipse Elements of a shadow: Umbra: Darkest part of a shadow Penumbra: Light perimeter of a shadow

© BRIEF Eclipse Lunar Eclipse Examples: Red because of sunlight being reddened by Earth’s atmosphere and refracted onto the Moon.

© BRIEF Eclipse Solar Eclipse: Total Eclipse: The umbra of the Moon’s shadow reaches the Earth’s surface Annular Eclipse: The umbra of the Moon’s shadow does not reach the surface of the Earth
