Tomorrow Will Bring a Full Snow Moon, a Lunar Eclipse, and a Comet… All on the Same Day
Tomorrow we set to see
a full snow moon and a lunar eclipse and a comet — all on the same
day.
Full moons have names
for each month, and February’s is typically called the “snow moon” because
February is the month that typically gets the most snow. Because the lunar moon
cycle is 29 days, every 19 years February has no full moon at
all.
Not true for this
year. Not only will February have a “snow moon,” but on the same day a penumbral
lunar eclipse is set to occur. This happens when the sun, earth, and moon align
in a straight line.
The moon will first enter Earth’s shadow at 5:32 p.m. EST (2232 GMT), and its moonlight will slowly but surely grow dimmer for a little over 2 hours. After the eclipse peaks at 7:43 p.m. EST (0034 GMT on Feb. 11), the bright glow of the full moon will take about another 2 hours to return to normal. The moon will be completely outside of the penumbral shadow by 9:55 p.m. EST (0255 GMT on Feb. 11).
Interestingly, just 10
minutes after the full moon peaks, so will the
eclipse.
Also on the same day,
Comet 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajdušáková, a periodic comet discovered in 1948 dubbed
recently “The New Year Comet,” is scheduled to pass and be visible to the naked
eye like it is every five years.
The fact that these
three events are happening on the same day is causing some people to completely
freak out.
