释义 |
A total lunar eclipse will take place on May 6, 2069. The eclipse will be a dark one with the southern tip of the moon passing through the center of the Earth's shadow. This is the first central eclipse of shove Saros series 132. It is the first of two total lunar eclipses in 2069, the second occurring at the descending node of the moon's orbit will be on October 30th which will also be a central total eclipse. VisibilityThe eclipse will be visible after sunset over Australia and begin before sunset over far eastern Asia, and be seen in the predawn hours over western North and South America.
The moon will also occult the bright star Alpha Librae as seen from the southern hemisphere a few hours before greatest eclipse.[1] Related lunar eclipsesLunar eclipses are related by many different eclipse cycles. The Saros cycle (18 years and 10 days) repeats the most consistently due three coinciding periods, and continue over 70 events (1200+ years). Eclipses are identified by a Saros number and a member index within each series. The lunar year (354 days) and Metonic cycles (19 years) are short period last only 8 to 10 events. The Metonic cycle is equal to one Saros cycle plus one lunar year, and so the two series progress in parallel. The Inex cycle (29 years minus 20 days) can last tens of thousands of years, so long that long perturbations in the moon's path must be taken into account for prediction. Also the eclipse qualities are less inconsistent because the moon is at different significantly positions in its elliptical orbit in sequential events. Similarly for the shorter Tritos cycle (10 years and 31 days), repeats less consistently for same reason. Lunar year seriesThis eclipse is the third of four lunar year eclipses occurring at the moon's ascending node. The lunar year series repeats after 12 lunations or 354 days (Shifting back about 10 days in sequential years). Because of the date shift, the Earth's shadow will be about 11 degrees west in sequential events. {{Lunar eclipse set 2067-2070}}Metonic series{{Metonic lunar eclipse 2031-2088}}Saros series{{Saros 132 summary}}Tritos series{{January 2000 lunar eclipse Tritos series}}Inex series{{June 2011 lunar eclipse Inex series}}Half-Saros cycleA lunar eclipse will be preceded and followed by solar eclipses by 9 years and 5.5 days (a half saros).[2] This lunar eclipse is related to two total solar eclipses of Solar Saros 139.
