Answer :
Now, look to the eastHow can I watch tonight's eclipse on Google Earth?
According to this article (http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/slooh-to-broadcast-live-feed-of-total-lunar-eclipse-through-sky-in-google-earth-112175359.html) the eclipse can be viewed live on Google Earth. These are the instructions: The new live feed feature appears as a bubble in the Slooh Space Camera layer in Google Earth and will broadcast the entirety of the lunar eclipse over a three-hour period. The live feed can be accessed by clicking on the planets icon in the Google Earth toolbar to switch to Sky mode. In the layers panel, open the Current Sky Events folder and click on the Slooh Space Camera layer. However, I don't see that folder on my Google Earth? I just downloaded the newest version, 6, a few minutes ago... where can I find this?
Answer :
Darn fangled new technology. Just use the old technology. Your eyes. It is on right now. Go outside and you'll see it. Anyway, it is just the moon passing into the Earth's shadow. It gets pretty when it has fully disappeared.Will i see the eclipse this Saturday ? a.s.a.p?
A partial lunar eclipse set to occur early Saturday should look particularly stunning to observers in parts of North America thanks to an optical illusion that will make the moon look bigger than normal. The moon will pass through part of Earth's shadow, temporarily becoming dark, starting at 6:17 a.m. EDT (1017 GMT) Saturday morning. That cosmic line-up coincides with the full moon of June and a so-called "moon illusion" that, weather permitting, should offer quite a show, according to a NASA announcement. For observers in the central and western United States, the lunar eclipse will occur while the moon is still close to the horizon. The partial eclipse begins after the moon has set for observers in the eastern United States. (This graphic shows how the moon will appear during Saturday's three-hour partial lunar eclipse.) Even though only 54 percent of the moon's diameter will be covered during the moment of greatest eclipse (around 7:38 a.m. EDT, 1138 GMT), the sight will appear magnified in size and charm by the "moon illusion." [Top 10 lunar eclipse facts] Scientists aren't completely sure why, but low-hanging moons tend to look exceptionally large. When the moon beams through trees, buildings and other foreground objects close to the horizon, it often appears to be much larger than when it shines from overhead. Even though cameras prove that low moons are no wider than any other moons, the human brain insists otherwise. The moon will be most picturesque in the western and central parts of the United States where the moon will be setting as the eclipse reaches maximum. Viewers there should look low and to the west just before dawn to catch the best sight. The same phenomenon will be visible to observers in India, Japan, and parts of East Asia. The eclipse will occur there on Saturday evening as the moon is rising, with the same illusion in full force. However, in the islands of the South Pacific, the moon will be hanging directly overhead in the midnight sky, so the horizon illusion won't add to the effect. People in New England and northeastern Canada will just miss being able to see the eclipse. Also dose it mean it will have a cosmic-line up i couldn't really understand what they were saying i know eclipses happen a lot so um ya. I just worried b/c i just spent hundreds of dollars on concert tickets i am going to go in 3 moths and stuff so ya. Hopefully i will sleep through it. b/c i am like really worried i know stupid idiotic but ya i am like that always been for some reason. No rude or mean comments thanks ps : i live in mississippi not in the country either
Answer :
You will only see part of the eclipse from Mississippi The partial phase begins at 5.17 a.m.and the Moon sets at around 6 a.m. As for the Moon appearing large near the horizon, that is simply the Moon Illusion, an effect which make the Moon appear larger when seen near objects on the horizon than it does when high in the sky and well away from any points of reference. There is no particular "cosmic line up". The Moon passes into the Earth's shadow. This is about as meaningful as you sitting in the shade of a tree.
