[ASA] ASA Factsheet - Total Lunar Eclipse 8 October 2014

Tue Sep 30 10:36:04 AEST 2014

New ASA Factsheet

As you may be aware, there is an upcoming Lunar Eclipse late on Wednesday 8 October.  The eclipse will be visible throughout Australia, starting at 8.15pm (AEDT) in eastern Australia, or with a partially eclipsed moon in the west.

A lunar eclipse may not be the most exciting or unusual astronomical event, but many of us still answer questions about them.  In addition, lunar eclipses are readily accessible to the general public - location doesn’t matter too much and it’s not hard to find the eclipsed moon!

More information about the eclipse can be found in the attached Factsheet produced by EPOC, the ASA's Education and Public Outreach Chapter.  The sheet has also been posted on the ASA's Australian Astronomy web site (http://www.astronomy.org.au).  The  Factsheet  link is  http://astronomy.org.au/factsheets/

You may wish to use this sheet to inform friends, students or the public about this event.  The sheet may be freely copied for wide distribution provided the Australian Astronomy and ASA logos are retained.
