INTRODUCTION
This page has been provided to publicise some news and information about astronomy related items, namely, the Sun, Moon, Earth, and Eclipses. The items listed here are by no means exhaustive since astronomy is well represented by many other websites, it is not my intention to overly duplicate that material. Above is a list of 'jump to' links which will take you to specific sections of this page.

Please bear in mind that some of this material has been specifically tailored for local (Southampton, UK) observers although some items will be valid for all observers worldwide. If you require timetables for other areas I am happy to generate them for you - Please supply me with your location and timezone, and use the e-mail link at the bottom of this page.

Although this page was generated by me, I am grateful for the input by Pete Cutler and Darren Beard who supplied material for inclusion on this page.

WARNING SIGN ! ! ! WARNING ! ! ! WARNING SIGN

Never, ever look at the Sun directly through any optical instrument - instant blindness could be the result.

Even looking at the Sun with the naked eye can be harmful.

DO NOT look at the Sun with magnifying glasses, cameras, binoculars or telescopes, any optical instrument in fact, without the use of a properly designed, approved and tested filter or specialised instrument.

DO NOT use photographic film, smoked or tinted glass, plastic or metal film.

Use only materials and instruments designed for the specific purpose for viewing the Sun.

If in doubt, seek expert advice first!

SUNRISE AND SUNSET TIMETABLE 2008

These timetables list the sunrise, transit, and sunset times for Toothill Observatory, Rownhams, Southampton, UK area. (latitude: North 50 degrees, 57 minutes, longitude: West 01 degree, 27 minutes) for every day of the year; as such it will be accurate for all locations at the same latitude (allowing for time zone corrections of course). In addition, the Sun's distance from Earth in AU (Astronomical Units) is listed. All the listed times are to the nearest second in Universal Time (UT, or GMT if you prefer).

No correction has been made for daylight saving times or British Summer Time (BST). BST will be in operation from 01:00 hours, Sunday 30th March 2008, to 01:00 hours, Sunday 26th October 2008. Add one hour to the listed times between these dates if BST is applicable.

The Rise and Set times stated are by astronomical definition; that is, the Sun being 50 arcminutes below the horizon. Typically, the Sun will be fully above (or below) the horizon about 5 to 10 minutes after (or before) the stated times. This time difference is due to atmospheric refraction.

APSIDES OF THE MOON 2008

Because the Moon's orbit is eccentric, the Moon's distance from Earth constantly varies. Because of this changing distance the Moon appears to vary in size slightly, although generally this change is barely noticable to the casual observer. Also, as the Moon's distance from Earth varies, its apparent motion or speed against the background stars appears to change as well. The term used to describe when the Moon is closest to Earth is perigee, and when the Moon is farthest, apogee. These two terms are known as the Apsides of the Moon. The dates of perigee and apogee for 2008 are listed below.

Below are two small graphics that illustrate the different apparent sizes of the Moon. These are screenshots from an astronomy program. The same image scale has been used in both pictures. On the left is the Moon as seen on 7th February 2001 at perigee (closest). The apparent size of the Moon was then 33 minutes and 29 seconds of arc in diameter. On the right is the Moon as it appeared on 2nd September 2001 at apogee (farthest). The apparent size of the Moon was then 29 minutes and 25 seconds of arc in diameter.

MOONRISE AND MOONSET TIMES 2008

Below is a list of times when the Moon rises, transits, and sets for 2008. The illuminated fraction or phase of the Moon is listed as well. (The illuminated fraction quoted is that of the Moon at 00:00 UT each day.) Rise & Set times stated are by astronomical definition, that is, the Sun or Moon being 50 arcminutes below the horizon. Typically, the Moon will be fully above (or below) the horizon about 10 minutes after (or before) the stated times.

These times were calculated for Toothill Observatory, Rownhams, Southampton, UK. (N. 50° 57', W. 1°27') although they will be valid for much of Southern England. The phase list however will be valid for everywhere. All times stated are UT (GMT) and no correction has been made for when British Summer Time (BST) is in operation as well as any other time zones.

ECLIPSES IN 2008

During 2008 there will be 4 eclipses: two of the Sun (1 annular, 1 total) and two of the Moon (1 total, 1 partial).

Other detailed information about these and other eclipses can also be found at various astronomical websites. One such website that particularly stands out Fred Espenak's Eclipse Homepage.

The eclispes occuring in 2008 will be...

  • 1. An annular Solar eclipse on February 7th.
  • 2. A total Lunar eclipse on February 21st.
  • 3. A total Solar eclipse on August 1st.
  • 4. A partial Lunar eclipse on August 16th.


1. ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE
There will be an annular eclipse of the Sun on February 7th 2008. (This event is not visible from the UK.)

The path of annularity tracks over the far south Pacific Ocean, striking land on Antarctica closest to South America, with the exception of the Antarctic Peninsula.

The eclipse will be visible as a partial solar eclipse from almost the entire Antarctic continent as well as parts of the far south Indian Ocean and far south Pacific Ocean. In addition, the partial eclispe phases will be visible from south east Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand. The partial phase of the eclipse commences at 01:38 UT and finishes at 06:12 UT.

The annular phase of the eclipse will start at 03:20 UT and ends at 04:31 UT, depending on locality. During the eclipse the maximum duration of annularity will be 2 minutes and 12 seconds. The time of greatest eclipse will be at 03:56 UT where 96.5% of the Sun will be occulted and the track of annularity at this point has a width of 444 kilometres.

Some timings for the eclipse are listed below...


  CONTACT  TIME         EVENT
  P1       01:38:29 UT  Partial phase of eclipse starts.
  U1       03:19:44 UT
  U2       03:28:47 UT
  GE       03:56:10 UT  Greatest eclipse. (At 67° 34' South, 150° 30' West)
  U3       04:21:55 UT
  U4       04:30:51 UT
  P4       06:11:53 UT  Partial phase of eclispe ends.


2. TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE
A total lunar eclipse occurs on February 21st 2008. (This event is visible from the UK.)

The eclipse will be visible in its entirety from: The North and South Atlantic Ocean, the far east Pacific Ocean, Greenland, Iceland, Spitzbergen, most of Scandinavia, western Europe, north western Africa, the far northern tip of the Antarctic peninsula, all of South America, Central America and the Caribbean, central and eastern United States and Canada.

Various parts of the eclipse will be visible at or near MoonSet from: the Southern Ocean, west Indian Ocean, most of Africa, Central Asia, India, eastern Europe, The Middle East, parts of Scandinavia, and Russia.

Various stages of the eclipse will be visible at or near MoonRise from: the extreme far east of Asia, Alaska, most of the Pacific Ocean, western United States and Canada.

The eclipse will not be visible from most of Antarctica, the east Indian Ocean, most of the west Pacific Ocean, Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and Indonesia, most of China, Japan, and far eastern Asia.

  P1       00:36:34 UT  Partial phase of eclipse starts, Moon enters penumbral portion of Earth's shadow.
  U1       01:43:17 UT  Moon starts to enter the umbral portion of Earth's shadow.
  U2       03:01:09 UT  Moon fully enters the umbral part of Earth shadow.
  GE       03:27 08 UT  Greatest eclipse, Moon closest to centre of Earth's shadow.
  U3       03:50:55 UT  Moon starts to leave umbral part of Earth's shadow.
  U4       05:08:46 UT  Moon fully out of the umbral portion of Earth's shadow.
  P4       06:15:38 UT  Partial phase of eclispe ends, Moon leaves penumbral portion of Earth's shadow.

The eclipse starts at 00:37 UT when the Moon starts to enter the penumbral part of Earth's shadow. By 01:43 UT the Moon is fully in the penumbral shadow and starts to enter the umbral part of the shadow. At 03:01 UT the Moon is full immersed in Earth's shadow for just under 50 minutes until it re-emerges from the shadow at 03:51 UT. Greatest eclipse occurs at 03:27 UT. By 05:09 the Moon has completely left the umbral part of the shadow. The eclipse finishes at 06:15 UT.

The Moon does not spend long in the dark (umbral) portion of Earth's shadow, compared to some other similar events, and this means that the Moon will not completely disappear from view and will take on a variety of orange/copper hues for much of the eclipse. Despite the timing, the UK is well placed to observe this event in its entirety.


3. TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE
There will be a total solar eclipse on August 1st 2008. (This will be visible as a partial solar eclipse from the UK. Depending on locality in the UK between 20% and 40% of the Sun will be occulted.)

The track of totality starts over the far north of Canada, brushes over the far north of Greenland then over the Arctic Ocean towards Novaya Zemlya headed for central Asia. On striking the Asian continent the track of totality takes in western Mongolia and China.

Areas that will see a partial solar eclipse include the Arctic Ocean, the north North Atlantic Ocean, Greenland, Iceland, western Europe (except the Iberian Peninsula and some parts of the European Mediterranean coast), central and eastern Europe, the Middle east, central and western Asia, India and Burma.

Some timings for the eclipse are shown below...


  CONTACT  TIME         EVENT
  P1       08:04:06 UT  Partial phase of eclipse starts.
  U1       09:21:07 UT  Moon fully occults Sun. (At start, western-most track of totality.)
  U2       09:24:10 UT  Moon ceases occulting Sun. (At start, western-most track of totality.) 
  GE       10:22:12 UT  Greatest eclipse. (At 65° 39' North, 72° 18' East.)
  U3       11:18:27 UT  Moon full occults Sun. (At end, eastern-most track of totality.)
  U4       11:21:25 UT  Moon stops occulting Sun. (At end, eastern-most track of totality.)
  P4       12:38:25 UT  Partial phase of eclispe ends.

The path width of the track of totality reaches a maximum of 237 kilometres and at greatest eclipse the Sun will be occulted for 2 minutes and 27 seconds. The Moon will in effect appear to be 3.9% larger than the Sun. Eclipse chasers will most likely view the eclipse from Mongolia or China where, depending on longitude, the eclipse will occur between about 10:30 UT and 11:18 UT, lasting a few seconds less than maximum.

From the UK the event will only be partial with greatest eclipse occuring for UK viewers at approximately 09:06 UT (10:06 BST). From southern England about 20% of the Sun will be occulted, from the far north of Scotland about 40%. From southern England the Moon will occult the Sun, starting at 08:36 UT (09:36 BST) and ending at 10:02 UT (11:02 BST).


4. PARTIAL LUNAR ECLIPSE
The will be partial Lunar eclipse on August 16th 2008. (This event is visible from the UK.)

The eclipse will be visible in its entirety from: The Southern Ocean, eastern South Atlantic Ocean, west and central Indian Ocean, most of Africa, central and eastern Europe, the Middle East, western and Central Asia.

The eclipse will not be visible from most of the Pacific Ocean, extreme far east Asia, most of North America and parts of central America.

The eclipse will be visible at MoonRise from: the North Atlantic Ocean, South America, western Europe (including the UK), Scandinavia. The eclipse will be visible at MoonSet from: east Asia, China, Japan, Indonesia, Australia, the west Pacific Ocean.

Some eclipse timings are shown below...


  CONTACT  TIME         EVENT
  P1       18:24:46 UT  Penumbral phase of eclipse commences.  
  U1       19:36:04 UT  Moon first enters umbral portion of Earth's shadow.
  GE       21:11:11 UT  Greatest eclipse. (80.7% of the Moon immersed in Earth's shadow.)
  U4       22:44:14 UT  Moon finally exits umbral portion of Earth's shadow. 
  P4       23:55:23 UT  Penumbral phase of eclipse ends.

Partial lunar eclipses are not especially rare but this event should make for interesting viewing all the same. From the UK the Moon will just have risen when the eclipse starts, and taking place in the evening will not be too late a night to observe the event. Also, throughout the eclipse the Moon is not fully in Earth's shadow so the Moon appearing part bright and part in shadow, along with the wonderful orange/copper tones of a lunar eclipse, this will make for a striking evening appearance.
