Lunar Eclipse!

If you can stay awake, Canadians from coast to coast will get a chance to view a total lunar eclipse this week — the first of four that will occur nearly every six months.

The year's first eclipse will begin just before 3 a.m. on Tuesday and will offer ideal viewing for observers throughout the Western Hemisphere.

This really beautiful total lunar eclipse where the full moon will turn an orangey-red in colour in the overnight period Monday night into Tuesday.

A total lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, the Earth and the moon are in perfect alignment so that the Earth's shadow completely covers the surface of the moon.

You don't need binoculars and it's totally safe to see a lunar eclipse. It's not like a solar eclipse — you can watch it with your naked eyes.

The entire event, from the start until the moon is out of the Earth's shadow, will last approximately three and a half hours.

The actual colour of the eclipse is hard to predict because that's influenced by the levels of pollutants and dust that are floating around the Earth's atmosphere.

The more dust there is, the deeper orange and red will be the colour of the lunar eclipse.

The other three will occur Oct. 8 this year and April 4 and Sept. 28, 2015.

Parents: Do you or your child have an idea for a Publish It! Riverside Press book? Perhaps you have done something special for March Break or maybe you have seen signs of spring or have a story about Lawrencetown in the past. Almost any idea can become a great book for your child to share with family and friends. Even if you have already made a book, you can make another. There is no charge and you get a copy of your book free. It will take about an hour of your time and you don’t need any typing or computer skills. We will help you every step of the way. Books can be made by grandparents as well!!
For more information or to make an appointment, contact: Angie Carreira, 584-3569.
