(Before It's News)

November brings us two eclipses in the month. Total solar eclipse will occur on November 13 and penumbral lunar eclipse on November 28, 2012. On November 13, residents of northeastern Australia will see the sun fully obscured by the moon, whose shadow will darken the sky for 2 minutes there on November 13. The only visible part of the sun during the total eclipse will be its glowing corona, or outer atmosphere, protruding around the moon’s silhouette. Parts of New Zealand and Chile will see the sun partially obscured as the moon crosses the sky.

Slooh Space Camera will host free webcast, starting at 19:30 UTC. Slooh will also broadcast the month’s second eclipse, a penumbral lunar eclipse on November 28.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth, Sun and Moon align, with the Earth situated in the middle.  Penumbral lunar eclipse is when Earth is casting a shadow on the moon which never passes through the dark inner core of the Earth’s shadow (the umbra) but only the hazy border (the penumbra).

November’s penumbral lunar eclipse will be seen at the northern half of the moon, easily visible to the naked eye after most of the moon has dipped into the Earth’s penumbra.

Observers in the Eastern United States will miss out on the lunar eclipse, as the moon will already have set there when the eclipse begins. But the rest of the country can watch at least part of it, with the duration of visibility longest for people on the West Coast and in Alaska.

  • Thank you. Yes, this being the 14th of November, yesterday at 22:someting New Moon, eastern time, and this morning around 10:30 am being Perigree pass, the above penumbral lunar eclipse also coincides almost with the second apogee moon pass in November 28.

    then the next new moon is December 12… ‘the twelve days of christmas’?! bringing us to ‘Mother Night’ Christmas eve, christianity’s celebration of the condemned bloodthirsty Goddess on Dec 24.

  • Pergree I meant, next is on December 12, not new moon, that is on Dec 13 in the morning around 8:00.

  • and apogee, voila, again after this date above of the November 28 apogee and penumbral lunar eclipse, will be: right after the Goddess has given birth to her baby solar saviour figure, Yule Day – December 25, 2012 at… 21:21:~!

    Christians, Christians, please, get a grip, get with the program they’ve got you all on.. you are being laughed at by your enemies as they lead you all by the nose and your emotions, pride, greed, lust (and all that ‘love’ of the Christmas ‘spirit’) to your slaughter as your Bible if you cared to stop your partying at church long enough to read and understand, clearly states you are being led to. Your bible is talking about your blood, and who it will be required of. (your shepherds, which are either 1) evil deliberately, wolves in sheep’s clothing, tricking you or 2) blind as well as you are, by the lies of the evil one who invented the lie.

    Please, get with it. Just say no, No to the lies you have all been taught for truth.

  • So much censorship, truth does scare you that much? Twice my replies are deleted.
