9 February 2009 Penumbral LUNAR (not solar) Eclipse in Singapore

[bond00777777]

what is the optical transition?

[starsoffyre]

@bond00777777

In what context?

[bond00777777]

@starsoffyre it is a transition - and the camera lens and eyepiece - telescope ... do not forget to photograph Jupiter's minimum distance is only 100 million km.

@bond00777777

Well I haven't heard of that term before in astrophotography. The setup I used was simply an auto point-and-shoot held up to the 20mm eyepiece of a 5-inch aperture, 1000mm focal length scope.

@starsoffyre thanks

Lunar eclipses occur about twice a year. The next lunar eclipse will occur on June 26 this year.

[RenChen000]

[starsoffyre]

Either 5 or 6, depending on your location.

[DragONheart27X]

yeah it looked like a silver coin, Ive just read that the next Lunar Eclipse is August 6 2009

[starsoffyre]

Yes you're right =D However, the August 6 eclipse isn't visible in the Philippines, and the next one that can be seen in your area is on December 31.

[pspasyraf1122]

Will the August Lunar eclipse could be seen in Singapore ? Cause it on my bdae .

[starsoffyre]

The August lunar eclipse can't be seen in Singapore =( However, we can still see the one on December 31st.

hey the same day as MY b-day x]

[dgjsbu]

well..I am not too sure.. but I need saw a lunar eclipse in Hong Kong in July, 2009 xP

[starsoffyre]

Umm...the eclipse you saw in HK in July is probably the July 22 Solar eclipse i.e. moon blocks the sun. =)

[Amnesiacmidnitetoker]

excuse me i have a question ok check this happened about 3 weeks ago i was out side at night i live south florida in miami to be exact..at night there was this huge ring it look like it was near the atmosphere roof it was a giant cloud ring with the moon inside the middle the most bizarre shit i ever saw i couldn't get a picture it was there for hours a giant glowing huge circle out of cloudes a perfect circle giant ring ..I was stone but weed wont do that plus oter sober people saw the same

[starsoffyre]

This phenomenon is actually due to light from the moon shining through ice crystals in the atmosphere. This forms a halo around the moon like what you saw. I happened to see this many times before, as the place I live in has a high humidity.

[AuditionGuy258]

u from singapore???WHere u see it???

[starsoffyre]

I just saw it opposite my house. Actually, everywhere in the world that isn't facing the sun can see this.

[DragONheart27X]

I saw this Lunar Eclipse just outside of the house, a bit cloudy though Im from the Philippines buddy, so we're kinda neighbors in the same sky :)

[starsoffyre]

Well that's good =) And yes, we are all under the same blue sky =)

[LEWYSTYLE]

well what the fuck happened clown!

[starsoffyre]

Please read the description. The Earth's penumbral shadow blocks the moon. Please do a little research before calling me a "clown".

[starsoffyre]

Dear viewers, kindly read the description. I am getting comments saying that this is not an eclipse. However, it is an eclipse, a LUNER eclipse to be exact, just that is is not the SOLAR eclipse that you are probably finding. If that's the case, please see my other video on a partial SOLAR eclipse. Notice how I am forced to stress on my words. I don't mind if you are ignorant, but please do not insult my intelligence as I probably know more than you do. Thank you and enjoy the video.

[MrLoler09]

huh what the hack was that. it was just the moon

[starsoffyre]

It is a penumbral lunar eclipse, whereby the earth's penumbral shadow covers the moon. If you look at the moon's northeastern limb, there will be a slight darkening of the moon's disc.

[patchear1]

dumb

[starsoffyre]

What are you referring to?

[slydon234]

oops..im sorry... i didn't see it...

[slydon234]
