Dark of the Moon

by Jeffrey Stanley

If you happened to be staring at the full moon on Saturday, November 8th, you might have witnessed something absolutely astronomical. “It was a fabulous night: clear and cold,” said science department chair Janet Villas. The astronomical event, a full lunar eclipse, began at 6:30, reached its peak around 8:00, and was over by 8:30. If you missed the eclipse, stop by the 4th floor and check out the bulletin board display Villas has created using her 8th grade earth science and astronomy classes’ time-lapse photos (some of which are shown below) and hand-drawn diagrams of the event.

We’re due for another full lunar eclipse in May.
