Namaste,
I am confused regarding the time given for the partial lunar eclipse in malaysia by different websites and hindu-blog.com which I always rely on. Can you please comment on the difference in time given and which is accurate. According to the malaysia space agency ANGKASA, url: http://www.angkasa.gov.my/ - the partial lunar eclipse in malaysia(MST) is as below;
On the 26 June 2010, we will be able to observe a partial lunar eclipse starting from 7:22 p.m. to 10:20 p.m.. In general,
lunar eclipse will occur when the Moon passes the Earth’s shadow during full Moon as shown in diagram 1.
The eclipse will start at 4:57 p.m. when the Moon start passing the penumbral shadow of the Earth (P1). But most
observers will not be able to visually detect the eclipse since penumbral shadow is less dark and at the mean time the
Moon is still below the horizon.
The eclipse can only be observed when the Moon is rising at 7.22 p.m. and it has been passing the umbra shadow of the
Earth (U1) since 6.17 p.m.. The eclipse will be in maximum phase at 7:38 p.m.. The eclipse can be observed until 9:00
p.m. when the Moon totally leaves the Earth’s umbra shadow (U4).
The eclipse will be lasting until 10:20 p.m. but couldn’t be observed since it is at the penumbral (less dark shadow)phase.
Table 1 : Data on the Partial Lunar Eclipse on 26 June 2010 Malaysia(MST)(GMT +8.00)
Phase Remarks Time:
P1 Moon start passing “Penumbra” 04:57 p.m.
U1 Moon start passing “ Umbra” 06:17 p.m.
Maksimum Moon partially blocked by “Umbra” 07:38 p.m.
U4 Moon totally leaves “Umbra” 09:00 p.m.
P4 Moon start leaving “Penumbra” 10:20 p.m.
Thank you,
