I am going to watch this special phenomenon on July 28.I am eager to know if it is the blood moon this coming nature amusement.

# data[].attributes.body
I am going to watch the special phenomen

# data[].attributes.body
I did’t know that was a blue moon.Solar eclipse It would be a red moon but it was a blue moon

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to watch the solar eclipse while I go fishing in July 28. I would also bring my telescope with me to watch this natural phenomenon at night. I can't wait for it, it is so exciting!   :)

# data[].attributes.body
I will watch the solar eclipses cause it is interesting

# data[].attributes.body
I am so eager to watch the moon on this Saturday.The moon comes rarely but this year it came twice.I am so exicted.I learned more about the moon when I watched the video.

# data[].attributes.body
In awe,of the wonders of the world with the ecplise to add to the list.

# data[].attributes.body
i am going to see it because it is very nice and i am going to ask my family to watch it to!

# data[].attributes.body
i am going to watch it as it is going to be a special night

# data[].attributes.body
i am not going to watch as it is very boring

# data[].attributes.body
I found it very interesting.After reading the news,I will now have to make sure that sleep late at night on 27 July!It will be my first experience as I did not catch a glimpse of it on January. I have learnt that the Lunar eclipse does not occur every month.

Unfortunately, I have never seen any kind of eclipse with my own eyes before. But I am sure it will be flabbergasting to experience one.From the article and the informational video above, I have learnt a lot of informative and enriching facts about the diverse types of ecplises.There are three types of eclipses which are total, partial and penumbral. Lunar eclipses only happen when there is a full moon and when it completes a full orbit which has a duration of 29.5 days.When the sun gets blocked by our plantet,the earth,it casts two types of shadows which are the penumbra which is the bigger shadow and the umbra which is the smaller shadow.The total lunar eclipse is caused when the moon is in the umbra shadow and is red in colour and causes volcanic eruptions.The partial lunar eclipse is caused when a part of the moon is in the umbra shadow and another part of the moon is in the penumbra shadow and finally ,the penumbral shadow will be casted when the moon is in the penumbra shadow.I can't wait to see the eclipse on coming saturday .

I really want to see the lunar eclipse.I just like to see it!

# data[].attributes.body
i am so excited to see both the eclipse and Mars!!! i hope my parents will allow me to wake up in the morning to see it.most of the the time they don't allow me to wake up early, so i hope they allow me to see it.i had seen the blue moon which was amazing. sadly, i was unable to see it with my telescope so i hope to see it my telescope this time.i hope i get to see it!!!!! :)

# data[].attributes.body
This is really interesting to know about.Since the Lunar eclipse is falling on a Saturday,I will definitely be staying up or waking up really early.When I saw the super blue blood moon,it looked very pretty.I hope the lunar eclipse is as pretty as the super blue blood moon. I hope I am able to see the Lunar Eclipse.

It is prodigious to know about the Lunar Eclipse. it  does not happen monthly,veritably it only happens thrice a year!t only happens in a full moon .Total,Partial and  Penumbral eclipse are the three basic lunar eclipse.Total eclipse is the most striking of the three basic lunar eclipse.It only happens when the sun, moon and earth are perfectly aligned and,the moon falls within the earth's umbra shadow.The umbra shadow is a lot smaller as compared to the penumbra shadow.The partial eclipse occures when the sun,moon and earth are half way aligned. Lastly,the penumbral eclipse it only

takes place when the moon pass through the umbra shadow,it could barely be seen.I want to see the next eclipse on May 26,2021 that Singapore can witness so badly

# data[].attributes.body
I feel excited as I had seen eclipses in cartoons and movies but had not seen one before in real life. It would be quite an experience to go through this one.

# data[].attributes.body
The early bird catches the worm, but the night owl will catch the lunar eclipse.  Will you wake up early, or will you stay up late? Either way, hope you catch a glimpse of it! 1hr 43mins to catch it!

Longest total lunar eclipse of the century, planet Mars to captivate Singapore this Saturday

Longest total lunar eclipse of the century, planet Mars to captivate Singapore this Saturday

SINGAPORE: Heads up stargazers, another celestial phenomenon is about to take place at the end of this month

After being treated to the historical super blue blood moon in January, astronomy enthusiasts in Singapore are looking forward to the longest total lunar eclipse of the century on Jul 28, which also coincides with the Mars opposition.

This means that skywatchers will be able to gaze at both planet Mars and a total lunar eclipse at the same time.

The lunar eclipse begins in the wee hours of Jul 28 morning, from 1.14am, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The total lunar eclipse will last one hour and 43 minutes and can be viewed from 3.30am to 5.13am. That is only four minutes shy of the longest possible duration for a total lunar eclipse, which is one hour and 47 minutes, according to Mr Albert Ho, president of the Astronomy Society of Singapore (TASOS).

The last time a total lunar eclipse lasted nearly as long was on Jul 16, 2000, with a total duration of one hour and 46 minutes, according to NASA's data.

Similar to the super blue blood moon, the moon on Jul 28 will appear red during the eclipse. However, it will also appear smaller this time.

"This total lunar eclipse also coincides with the lunar apogee when the moon is furthest from the earth," said Dr Abel Yang, a lecturer from the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, National University of Singapore. "At apogee, the moon will appear slightly smaller because it is farther from the Earth. This is the opposite effect of a supermoon."

The moon also moves slower when it is farthest from Earth, said Dr Yang. This explains its long duration.

The total lunar eclipse will also coincide with the Mars opposition, said Mr Remus Chua, an astrophotographer and founder of the Singapore Astronomy Forum (SingAstro). The opposition takes place every two years or so and occurs when Mars, Earth and the Sun form a straight line during the course of their orbits, he added.

When this happens, Mr Chua said Mars will be "about five times brighter than usual" and this will make visual observations through telescopes "easy and interesting".

Mars will also appear as a "reddish star close to the moon", according to Mr Ho.

A Science Centre Singapore spokesman said Mars will come very close to the moon in the early morning of Jul 28.

GETTING READY FOR THE ECLIPSE, MARS

Several astronomy events will take place in Singapore from the evening of Jul 27 to the morning of Jul 28.

All spots for a special viewing event by the Science Centre have been snapped up, a spokesman said, with a total of 120 adults and 80 children aged seven to 12 registered for the free event funded by SkillsFuture. There is also a long waiting list of people who are interested in the event - held at the Lifelong Learning Institute - but have not registered, the spokesman added.

At another special viewing, about 500 people are expected to turn up at Marina South Pier for the MARS-LE: Mars opposition and Lunar Eclipse event organised by SingAstro. Twelve telescopes will be available at the venue.

Meanwhile, TASOS will be giving a talk on eclipses at the Science Centre Observatory classroom on Jul 27.

Several photographers are also expected to capture images of the eclipse and Mars. However, capturing an image of the moon this time might be trickier since it will be smaller than the super blue blood moon, a name coined for the combination of a blue moon, a supermoon and a total lunar eclipse.

"The lunar eclipse or blood moon is the iconic image of the phenomena and you'll need a long telephoto lens of around 300mm and a sturdy tripod to (capture the image)," said photographer Joe Nair.

A high-resolution camera would be a bonus, he added. "The moon moves faster than you think. Without a decently high shutter speed of at least 1/80 sec, there will be motion blur."

He added: "The good news about the upcoming eclipse is that you have a lot of time to work out the settings that will work best."

The total lunar eclipse on Jul 28 can also be viewed from South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia, according to NASA.

The next total lunar eclipse will take place on Jan 21 next year but will not be visible from Singapore as it will happen during daylight, said Dr Yang. Science Centre said that the moon in the next lunar eclipse will stay red for only 62 minutes.

Singapore will have to wait until May 26, 2021, for the next total lunar eclipse visible from the country, said TASOS
