Today (October 28, 65) the Thai Astronomical Society states that during the early hours of Tuesday November 8, 2022, which corresponds to the 15th lunar month of the 12th lunar month, Loy Krathong A total lunar eclipse will occur. or lunar moon according to the beliefs of the Thais This is a phenomenon in which the whole moon passes in the shadow of the Earth and at the same time the phenomenon of the moon that obscures Uranus.
observation from Thailand The lunar eclipse begins before the moon rises above the horizon. and the sun has not yet set Therefore, we can not see at the beginning of the phenomenon. when the sun returns to the horizon in the west The moon will rise above the horizon in the opposite direction. We may have to wait for the moon to move higher and the sky a little darker. so he began to notice the moon At that moment the moon was in the shadow of the whole world. If the eastern horizon is not obstructed we may be able to see the moon slightly because during the total lunar eclipse. The moon is not completely dark. Sunlight is refracted and diffused into the earth’s atmosphere. Make the lunar surface not completely dark
over time the moon and stars to the east will gradually move higher as the earth rotates. along with the moon coming out of the earth’s shadow The moon was closest to the center of the earth’s shadow at 5:59 pm. At that time, the moon was very close to the horizon. The low south sees the moon as low as possible near the horizon. and probably the hardest to see. The Northeast sees the highest moon and the sky was still bright with twilight
A total lunar eclipse will end at 6:42 pm, when the edge of the moon begins to glow. and the sky was dark enough Then the moon will come out of the whole shadow. or the end of a partial lunar eclipse at 19:49, although the moon has returned to full brightness But the phenomenon was not over yet. The moon’s surface remained slightly opaque for about an hour until it left the penumbra at 8:56 pm.
The process of the lunar eclipse
1. The moon begins to enter the terrestrial penumbra at 3:02:15
2. The partial lunar eclipse begins at 16:09:12.
3. The total lunar eclipse begins at 17:16:39.
3. The moon enters the deepest shadow at 17:59:10.
5. End of total lunar eclipse at 18:41:39
6. End of partial lunar eclipse at 19:49:05
7. The moon leaves the terrestrial penumbra at 20:56:11.
The shadow touch time for each phase of the lunar eclipse occurs simultaneously across the country. But the position of the moon as seen from everywhere is not the same. From the table, it can be said that Regardless of the weather or the amount of clouds The northeastern region is the area where this lunar eclipse is observed better than any other region.
In addition to the lunar eclipse Another phenomenon occurred in the same period. That is, the dark moon Uranus, at the beginning of the darkening was not observable. because the sky is bright The moon has just risen or has not yet risen above the eastern horizon. end of cover Most of Thailand has the opportunity to observe Uranus emerging from behind the moon. It appears on the right edge of the moon relative to the direction of the point above the head. But the moon is not yet high above the horizon. And Uranus isn’t very bright. therefore difficult to see with the naked eye Use binoculars or a telescope. This is a great opportunity to photograph the moon during a total lunar eclipse along with Uranus.
The time of the end of the darkening of Uranus varies from area to area. Bangkok takes place at 18:32 Khon Kaen 18:37 Chiang Mai 18:43 Nakhon Ratchasima 18:34 Nakhon Si Thammarat 18:17 Prachuap Khiri Khan 18:28 Rayong 18:29 Songkhla 18:10 Ubon Ratchathani 18:33 (Note: Chiang Never was born after the end of the total lunar eclipse. So I saw the left edge of the moon already illuminated. Although the upper southern region was in the area seen at the end of the cover But it is quite difficult to observe how Uranus emerges at the edge of the moon . The sky may not be dark enough. The southernmost part could not observe the coverage. But there is still the possibility of observing Uranus near the moon during a lunar eclipse.)
The invasion of the moon on the planets during lunar eclipses is a rare phenomenon. It is extremely rare for bright planets like Mars, Jupiter and Saturn (more common for less bright planets like Uranus and Neptune), while Mercury and Venus are unlikely to be obscured by the moon during lunar eclipses. This is partly due to the fact that bright planets move faster than Uranus and Neptune. From preliminary calculations, it emerged that after this year The planet’s lunar eclipse during the next lunar eclipse will occur on November 11, 2106. It is a partial lunar eclipse. And the darkened planet is Uranus too.
After this year, Thailand will be able to observe a partial lunar eclipse in the early morning hours of Sunday 29 October 2023 and will have the opportunity to see another total lunar eclipse on Sunday night 7 September 2025 and early Tuesday 3 March 2026.
