Lunar Eclipses

There are between 1 and 4 lunar eclipses per year.

Between the years 1901 and 2000, the average was 2.29 of them each year.

You do not need a telescope to view the moon. In fact many astronomers who own telescopes prefer a good set of binoculars on a simple tripod to a mounted telescope. You also do not need a lot of magnification. The greater the magnification the greater the need for a tripod as the magnification exaggerates the shaking. The moon is quite bright so you do not need the large, light gathering apertures often found in telescopes. In Fact, those who use such telescopes for Lunar viewing often must attenuate the light source with neutral density filters. To try to view the moon without them is frustrating. Any reasonably good binoculars in the 7 x 50 range will give you 7 times magnification, and the 50mm lenses admit enough light to serve the purpose. It they are "wide field" binoculars, that is even better. The duration of the eclipse is several hours and for that reason, even holding a set of binoculars can be tiring. Some sort of device like a tripod will help prevent getting tired arms. You do not need a telescope to view the moon.

The next total lunar eclipse is expected to occur on May 16-17, 2022. This will be a partial lunar eclipse that will be visible from parts of North and South America, East Asia, Australia, and the Pacific region.

On Wednesday evening, February 20th, the full Moon over Europe and the Americas will turn a delightful shade of red because there will be a total lunar eclipse.

The timings may be obtained from the link I will place below.

They both block light from falling on something else. In the case of the solar eclipse, the Moon blocks the Sun's light from falling on the Earth; in the case of the lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks the Sun's light from falling on the Moon.

All lunar eclipses are visible only at night. That's because a lunar eclipse happens when the Earth's shadow falls on the Moon, and only people on the night-side of Earth can see the Moon at that time.

Lunar eclipses occur when the moon passes into the Earths shadow. So just as a solar eclipse occurs when you get the Sun, moon and Earth lined up (in that order), a lunar eclipse occurs when you get them lined up in the order Sun, Earth, moon.
When the earth sun and moon comes in a straight line earth in the middle the lunar eclipse occurs.
A lunar eclipse can only happen during a FULL MOON.
It can only occur when the earth moon and sun are all lined up, with the earths shadow being cast on the moon (earth between the sun and moon). Even then it's not guaranteed, as the alignment has to be perfect. The orbits at not perfect circles and on the same plane so this is quite rare. A lunar eclipse will happen with a new moon.
It occurs when the Earth is directly between the Sun and Moon. It must be a full moon when it happens. To see a full lunar eclipse, ou must be in the umbra. If you're in the penumbra, you wouldn't see the whole eclipse but most of it. ~ha.

Typically, lunar eclipses occur once or twice a year.

Because more than half of all lunar eclipses are partial, and because lunar eclipses are visible only from the side of the Earth where the Moon is up, you would generally be able to see a total lunar eclipse every other year or every 3rd year from your location. The rest of the eclipses would be either partial, or not visible from your location.

You can check the NASA Eclipse Web Page to see the catalog of all eclipses from 2000 BCE to 3000 AD at the link below.

In 413 BC during a lunar eclipse Syracusians staged an attack on and defeated the Athenians. In 1504, Christopher Columbus used a lunar eclipse to trick some Jamaicans in to giving him and his crew food and supplies.

Yes (they are because they are lion and a tiger together and lions and tigers are carnivores)
Yes, the liger is mainly carnivorous, but ingests grass as well, usually to aid in digestion.

Lunar eclipses occurs at a full moon when Earth is directly between the moon an the sun and also occurs only when there is a full moon because the moon is closet to Earth,s shadow at that time while a solar eclipses occur when the moon passes directly between Earth and the sun, blocking sunlight from Earth and only occurs when a new moon blocks your view of the sun.

It depends on the time of day, and year, and solar cycle. Its never the same exact point. In a total eclipse, the photosphere (and everything inside that, such as the core) is blocked by the moon but the corona is visible.

No, although you can release multiple eggs you will only ovulate within one 24 hour period within your menstrual cycle. If TTC you should consider using fertility awareness method to determine exactly when you're fertile and when you ovulate, even when not TTC fertility awareness method is very useful for learning more about your body and it can be used as an effective birth control method.

There are many options available for blinds that will fit the E150 model. It's important to measure the windows accurately to ensure a proper fit. Consider purchasing custom-made blinds for the best fit and style. You can browse online or visit a local home improvement store to find a variety of blind options.

Eclipses generally occur at intervals of 6 months, with a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 7 eclipses in a calendar year. Each year typically has at least 2 solar and 2 lunar eclipses, occurring approximately 6 months apart.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through some part of the Earth's shadow. This only happens when the Earth, Moon and Sun are aligned. The Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow on the Moon
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly behind the Earth into its umbra (shadow).
A lunar eclipse occurs when a satellite, usually a moon, moves so that the planet is between the sun and the satellite so that the planet blocks the light from the star from reaching the satellite.

Yes. They will not look "bad" by any means, but it won't look fantastc either. It mostly depends on your service provider. Time warner is the worst picture quality out there. then comes comcast. Then the top of the line stuff, for cable anyway, is Verizon Fios.

To answer this question I did some on site research. I visited the Astronomy Marine Science Center in Chesapeake Bay, France. Dr. Francois Gerard gave me a fascinating tour of the facilities. I saw the zero gravity center where scientists put endangered marine life in a zero gravity oxygenless, waterless environment to see what happens. To date their success is extraordinary. After the gravity center I saw the breeding on the moon simulator. They have recreated the exact conditions of the surface of the moon, and they try to cross breed endangered marine life. Dr. Gerard said the experiments were going particularly well. Finally, he showed me the lunar eclipse wing of the facility. At that moment they had just received a shipment of fiddler crabs. For those of you who dont' know a fiddler crab is the one with the one huge claw. This oversized claw is used to better play coral and other natural marine instruments. Hence the name fiddler. Dr. Gerard oversaw putting the crabs in the eclipse tank. He than blocked the moon from the crabs conciousness and observed what happened. At first nothing happened, but after a few minutes the crabs became agitated. They started attacking one another. They formed differed ethnic groups based on the color of their claws. Soon they have developed advance crab weapons and were arranging battle formations. One group of crabs started a bombardment of heavy artillery fire, while a second group of crabs advanced upon the enemy crabs. The enemy crabs used their superior air power to cripple the artillery fire, but were unprepared for the commando crabs. The commando crabs attacked with their crab weapons and took out the enemy crabs almost to the last one. Having prepared every detail of the attack they even arranged with a deal with some of France's top seafood restaurants. Within minutes some chefs showed up to pick up the dead crabs which be used for tonight's assortment of crab dishes. Dr. Gerard told me the experiment was a qualified success and he was excited to the do the next eclipse experiment with endangered dolphins. He said he had secured a lucrative deal with Japanese sushi restaurants. My plea to you my fine wikianswers friends is to donate to the Astronomy Marine Science Center. Their work is crucial for future breakthroughs in space/marine research, which we all know deeply affects on a day to day basis. Let's all make a point to think more about space and dolphins in the same sentence this year. We'll make a better world through this.

A solar eclipse is when the sun is blocked from view due to the moon passing exactly in front of the sun as it circles around the globe. However, since the earth moon and sun do not share the same orbital plane, this happens very rarely. You MUST wear special protective eye covering to directly observe a solar eclipse or you risk causing serious injury including blindness. Sunglasses, however good they are, DO NOT PROTECT YOUR EYES during a solar eclipse. Don't directly observe a solar eclipse unless you have guaranteed that your eye wear is certified to protect you.

A lunar eclipse is when the moon and sun are on opposite sides of the globe, and the moon is full. At this time, when the earth blocks sunlight from reaching the moon this is called a lunar eclipse. The moon will often appear red during a total lunar eclipse. For the same reason as a solar eclipse, this also happens very rarely, but more frequently at a given location than solar eclipses. It is safe to observe a lunar eclipse without any special protective covering for the eyes. Just remember that if you are looking at an eclipse at night, it is safe to view.

See the Sources and related links for NASA web page covering past and future eclipses both lunar and solar.

In 2013 there will be two penumbral eclipses (hardly noticable)

To change to Aux mode on an Eclipse CD3434, press the "Source" button until you reach the Aux input option. Then, use the volume or tuning knob to select and confirm the Aux mode. If there is a dedicated "Aux" or "Input" button, you can also try pressing that to switch to Aux mode directly.

Here is the procedure, according to the service manual. Sorry, I could not import the figures to reference.

For the 1.6L SOHC:

DESCRIPTION

The water pump on this vehicle is attached to the rear of the power steering pump to form an assembly

(Fig. 27). The water pump/power steering pump assembly is located on the front corner of the engine

(Fig. 29).

The water pump is bolted to the rear of the power steering pump. Driven by the power steering pump

shaft, the water pump's impeller is located inside a die-cast aluminum housing. The water pump housing has a built in outlet. The water pump also has a bolt-on inlet cover with two ports, one for incoming coolant from the radiator and the other for incoming coolant from the heater.

Both pumps (water and power steering) can be serviced separately. Remove the entire water pump/

power steering pump assembly, then disassemble it to service either pump.

For information on the power steering pump, (Refer to 19 - STEERING/PUMP - DESCRIPTION).

REMOVAL

(19) If the power steering pump pulley needs to be removed, (Refer to 19 - STEERING/PUMP - DISASSEMBLY).

DISASSEMBLY

(1) Remove the three hex drive bolts and washers that attach the power steering pump to the water

pump (Fig. 27).

(2) Use the following steps to access the water pump impeller hex.

(a) Place a 1⁄4 inch drive 10 mm socket in through the coolant inlet tube, then back it into the heater hose fitting area as shown (Fig. 30). Backing the socket into the heater hose fitting makes it easier to perform the following step.

(b) Holding the socket in this position, insert a 1⁄4 inch drive extension (6 inches in length or longer) in through the heater hose fitting into the rear of the 10 mm socket.

(c) Push the socket with the extension into the pump placing the socket on the hex built into the

center of the water pump impeller.

(3) While holding the power steering pump shaft from turning using a hex wrench in the pulley end of

the shaft, loosen the impeller by rotating the 1⁄4 inch drive extension counterclockwise using a ratchet. The water pump will rise off of the power steering pump as the impeller is rotated.

(4) Once the threads have been disengaged, remove the entire water pump assembly from the power steering pump. If the water pump will be used again, the 10 mm socket and extension can be left inside the water pump until reassembly is completed.

(5) If the water pump inlet cover needs to be removed, remove the seven fasteners around the perimeter of the pump and remove the cover. Discard the housing O-ring type seal.

(6) If the power steering pump pulley needs to be removed, (Refer to 19 - STEERING/PUMP - DISASSEMBLY).

NOTE: For reassembly, (Refer to 7 - COOLING/ENGINE/WATER PUMP - ASSEMBLY).

ASSEMBLY

(1) If the water pump inlet cover needs to be installed on the water pump:

(a) First apply Mopart Dielectric Grease or equivalent to a NEW water pump O-ring seal.

(b) Place the O-ring seal in the housing groove where the cover contacts the housing.

(c) Install the seven fasteners around the perimeter of the pump. Tighten them to 12 N·m (105 in.lbs.) torque.

(2) If a pulley needs to be installed on the power steering pump, (Refer to 19 - STEERING/PUMP -

ASSEMBLY).

(3) Place the water pump assembly onto the power steering pump shaft.

(4) Rotate the water pump so the water pump outlet is near the water pump upper mounting holes

(hole with dowel guide). Arrange the three pump fastener holes so they line up.

(5) If the water pump impeller hex has not been accessed with a socket, use the following steps to

access the water pump impeller hex.

(a) Place a 1⁄4 inch drive 10 mm socket in through the coolant inlet tube, then back it into the heater hose fitting area as shown (Fig. 30).

(b) Holding the socket in this position, insert a 1⁄4 inch drive extension (6 inches in length or longer) in through the heater hose fitting into the rear of the 10 mm socket.

(c) Push the socket with the extension into the pump placing the socket on the hex built into the center of the water pump impeller.

(6) While holding the power steering pump shaft from turning using a hex wrench in the pulley end of

the shaft, tighten the water pump impeller rotating the 1⁄4 inch drive extension clockwise using a ratchet. This will draw the water pump in toward the power steering pump. Tighten the impeller to 26 N·m (19 ft. lbs.) torque.

(7) Remove the 10 mm socket, 1⁄4 inch extension and ratchet from the water pump. Remove the hex

wrench.

(8) Align the three pump fastener holes and install the three hex drive bolts with washers (Fig. 27).

Tighten the bolts to 26 N·m (19 ft. lbs.) torque.

(Accents are intrusions of a mother language into an acquired language, as when a Mexican or Russian speaks English. Dialects are variations of a language, such as British English, Australian English, American English and so on with each of these huge dialectical entities having subdialects in them.) According to MSN Encarta, "Dialects develop primarily as a result of limited communication between different parts of a community that share one language. Under such circumstances, changes that take place in the language of one part of the community do not spread elsewhere. As a result, the speech varieties become more distinct from one another. If contact continues to be limited for a long enough period, sufficient changes will accumulate to make the speech varieties mutually unintelligible. When this occurs, and especially if it is accompanied by the sociopolitical separation of a group of speakers from the larger community, it usually leads to the recognition of separate languages. The different changes that took place in spoken Latin in different parts of the Roman Empire, for example, eventually gave rise to the distinct modern Romance languages, including French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Romanian." For specifics on how the Southern dialect emerged and is viewed today, the following is an interesting discussion: http://www.pbs.org/speak/seatosea/americanvarieties/southern/sounds/ For specifics on how the Southern dialect differs from Standarad American English, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_American_English.
