  1. ANALYZE THE PARTS OF AN ECLIPSE EXPLAIN HOW ECLIPSES OCCUR DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN SOLAR AND LUNAR ECLIPSE ECLIPSES

  2. Eclipses -Occurs when a shadow makes the Sun or the Moon seem to grow dark.

  3. 2 TYPES OF ECLIPSES: • SOLAR ECLIPSE • LUNAR ECLIPSE

  4. SOLAR ECLIPSES • Solar Eclipse- caused by the moon making a small shadow on the Earth. • Moon crosses in front of the sun. • Moon is in a new moon position. • Only a small number of people can see a solar eclipse. • Occurs during the day.

  5. Recent Solar Eclipse • September 13, 2015, a partial eclipse that was visible in Africa and Antarctica.

  6. Types of Solar Eclipses: 1. A partial solar eclipse occurs when only part of the Sun is covered by the Moon which appears to take a “bite” out of the Sun.

  7. Types of Solar Eclipses: 2. Annular eclipse occurs when the Sun’s center is covered by the moon , leaving its edges left uncovered, producing a ring (or annulus) of the Sun around its edges.

  8. Types of Solar Eclipses: 3. A total solar eclipse takes place when the Sun becomes completely covered by the moon.

  9. Types of Solar Eclipses: 4. A hybrid eclipse is one which is seen as annular by observers in one part of the Earth, and at the same time, is seen as a total eclipse by others in another part of the Earth.

  11. SOLAR ECLIPSE • There are two parts to the shadow. • Umbra- darkest part • Penumbra- lighter part • Those people standing in the umbra see a total solar eclipse. • Those people in the penumbra see a partial solar eclipse.

  13. FUTURE SOLAR ECLIPSES • Total solar eclipse -Indonesia including Sumatra, Borneo, and Sulawesi, and from locations in the Pacific Ocean. • Northern and eastern Australia, in South Asia, and in East Asia will be able to see a partial eclipse. • The eclipse will begin at 23:19 UTC on March 8, 2016, and its maximum point will take place at 01:59 on March 9, 2016. Totality will last for 4 minutes and 9 seconds.

  14. Future Solar Eclipses • March 9, 2016. -Asia and Australia. • September 1, 2016 Africa and parts of the Indian Ocean. • February 26, 2017 South America, Africa and Antarctica. • The next solar eclipse that can be seen in the United States and North America will be on August 21, 2017.

  15. LUNAR ECLIPSE • Lunar eclipse- caused by the earth’s shadow covering the moon. • Moon is in a full moon position. • Large numbers of people can see. • Occurs at night.

  16. LUNAR ECLIPSE • There are two parts to the shadow- umbra and penumbra. • When the moon is in the umbra a total lunar eclipse occurs. • When the moon is in the penumbra a partial lunar eclipse occurs.

  17. 3 Types of Lunar Eclipses • Total Lunar Eclipse-Earth’s full (umbral) shadow falls on the moon. • Partial Lunar Eclipse-the sun, Earth and moon are not quite perfectly aligned, and Earth’s shadow appears to take a bite out of the moon. • Penumbral Lunar Eclipse-the moon is in Earth’s faint outer (penumbral) shadow.

  19. LUNAR EXCLIPSE 2015 • September 27, 2015-US, Canada, and Central and South America, this rare Total Lunar Eclipse of a Supermoon. • September 28, 2015-Europe, South/East Asia, Africa, the Arctic, and in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans it starts after midnight on. • Also called a Blood Moon this eclipse lasted for about 1 hour and 12 minutes.

  20. Future Lunar Eclipses • March 23, 2016: Penumbral eclipse. Visible from Asia, Australia, Pacific Ocean, western Americas. • Sept. 16, 2016: Penumbral eclipse. Visible from Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, western Pacific Ocean

  21. Blood Red Moon- -Earth's atmosphere -Amount of dust and clouds in the moon’s atmosphere. -extra particles from a recent volcanic eruption on the moon.

  23. Lunar Eclipse 2008

  24. TRIVIA: • A solar eclipse always occurs two weeks before or after a lunar eclipse. • Lunar eclipses can occur up to three times a year. • Solar eclipses always occur between two and five times a year. Often, these eclipses are unnoticed because they only pass over a small portion of the earth.

  25. TRIVIA: • The longest duration for a solar eclipse is seven and a half minutes. • The element helium was discovered during a solar eclipse in 1868. French scientist Pierre Janssen noticed a peculiar yellow line, with a wavelength of 587.49 nanometers, while looking at the sun during an eclipse.

  26. TRIVIA • On May 29, 1919, observations recorded during a total eclipse of the sun helped prove Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity. • On May 28, 585 B.C.E., an eclipse halted a battle between the Medes and the Lydians in present-day Turkey. Both sides believed the eclipse was a bad omen and immediately stopped fighting!
