When will the next lunar eclipse be and when will it be the end of the world?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

People who know what they're talking about are saying things like 5 billion years from now, but that's just the end of Planet Earth. Nobody really knows about humanity itself. I mean, in billions of years humans could not be human at all (see Doctor Who; that episode with Rose and the Doctor with funny ears on that end-of-earth viewing platform). You see? Even Doctor Who has answers... As for the next lunar eclipse, depends where you live. Maybe try being more specific next time. ____________________________ The end of the world is sure to happen in your lifetime. Every time a person dies, it is the end of the world for that individual. Apart from that, there is no need to worry. Nothing will happen to you or to anyone else that is not common to mankind.

Asked by Wiki User

Benjamin Banneker used trigonometry and advanced mathematical calculations to predict solar and lunar eclipses.

What really happens during an eclipse?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

After Eclipse, you can read Breaking Dawn, the 4th book to the saga, and supposedly the last. First part is a long descriptive summary. Second part at the bottom is a simple bullet pointed summary with alot less words to read.

Descriptive and long summary of Breaking Dawn (WARNING: I summarized just about everything. So if you want to be surprised while reading Breaking Dawn, I suggest you DONT read this. But if you want to know just about everything, read it.):

In Breaking Dawn, Bella Swan encounters a series of events. Her and Edward's wedding finally play out and Bella get's her final human demand. (sex with Edward) After spending their honeymoon together on Isle Esme, Bella discovers that after a few sexual intercorses with Edward, she is pregnant! But, how can a baby already be showing on Bella's stomach? They rush home to Forks, Washington only to find that the baby is half vampire. He or she starts sucking the life of Bella away one day at a time. Edward suffers the suspense of not knowing when the baby will finally be ready to survive on it's own, and how to exit the mothers body is not described pleasantly. Although Carlisle could easily remove the baby without inflicting any harm to Bella, she refuses repeatedly. She believes that she will survive labor, even when the baby will tear it's way through her stomach to be free. She becomes very weak and unable to provide food for herself, it seems as if the baby won't allow any of it into it's stomach. They discover that if Bella drinks blood, she can get the nutrients she needs in order to survive. Like Bella, she accidentaly spills the cup of blood and automatically reaches to catch it. Not a good move. When she had reached to save the bright red liquid from staining the white carpet, the placenta detatched, resulting in a suffocating baby. Bella goes into complete shock as the blood she had forced down began to come back up. Thankfully, Edward successfully retreaves the baby (a baby girl named Renesmee). But, saving Bella from dying is a whole new matter. He quickly fills her veins with vampire venom and morphine. Bella narrates a descriptive chapter of how badly the fire burned inside her as she desperately tried to hang onto dear life like she had promised them. The venom saves her as she wakes up as a beautiful vampire. She learns the basics of becoming a vampire, resisting the urge to drink Charlie's blood when he comes over to visit. But, something rare for a vampire which Bella holds, is how she can act like a three hundred year old vampire. (Not being crazy for blood like a new born) She can easily distract herself from something, such as killing humans. After a while, she receives a message that the Volturi, the entire guard including the wives, are coming to investigate the new baby. Before the Volturi can kill Nessie, Alice shows up after running away earlier in the story, preventing the death of Nessie. Finally, Edward and Bella and Nessie can all enjoy their small, but perfect piece of their forever.

Short and sweet summary of Breaking Dawn:

*Edward and Bella get married

*Bella gets pregnant during her honeymoon with a half human half vampire baby

*They save Bella before Renesmee can kill her during labor

*Bella is transformed into a vampire

*Volturi come to kill Nessie

*Alice and Bella both save them all from being killed

*They all live happily ever after

THE END

don't ruin the book for me, anyway to have to read to the short second life of bree tanner first it's so cool

Explain why lunar eclipses occur during a full moon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon because the lunar eclipse causes the Moon to pass directly behind the Earth and into its shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely with the Earth in the middle.

What is the difference between a lunar eclipse and the moon phases?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Eclipses involve a shadow from one object to another. Moon phases involve the moons own shadow on itself because part of the moon may be in the shade so we can't see it. During a full moon we see all of the moon lit up by the sun.

During which phase of a moon can a lunar eclipse occur?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

One may occur when the moon is full.

A Lunar eclipse happens when the sun moon and earth are all lined up, with earth in between the sun and the moon. At this position, with the sun behind us and the moon in front of us, we see a full moon, as the light is reflected back of the surface. The lunar eclipse happens when the earths shadow can be seen on the moon.

We don't always get a Lunar eclipse when there is a full moon though, as we don't often get a perfect enough line up. This is due to the orbits of the Earth and moon not being perfectly flat.

What are parts of the lunar eclipse?

Asked by Wiki User

Everything on Earth looks the same as always during a lunar eclipse. But if it's

night-time where you are during the eclipse, then the Full Moon is in your sky,

and since it's in the Earth's shadow, it may be glowing a dull red, or it may be

almost completely invisible.

How often does a partial lunar eclipse occur?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are, on average, two lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses each year, when the Sun, Moon and Earth all line up more-or-less exactly. If they ALMOST but DON'T QUITE line up, we'll sometimes get two partial eclipses a month apart rather than one total eclipse. So, on average, there will be one or two partial lunar eclipses per year.

Lunar eclipses happen on the Moon, and are visible from the entire night half of the Earth, so you'll generally see a partial lunar eclipse every other year.

You can see the catalog of all eclipses on the NASA Eclipse Web Site, linked below.
