Another eclipse

ndmmxiaomayi SG

This eclipse is unlike total eclipse. It is much more harder to spot as it is going to cross an entire star cluster - the Pleiades. Unless you know a bit the star chart, it's probably hard to see.

For Singapore, no luck again. We won't get to see it. It lasts for 3 hours. It will start at 7:30 a.m. Sunday April 2, 2006 Singapore's time. The Sun is already up by then, so the stars will be blocked by the Sun's bright rays. Sad

Here's the map if you are interested:

Merry Meet Oceanos,

The Moon is going to eclipse an entire star cluster - the Pleiades that's the eclipse. During that time the Moon will move through the cluster, hiding one star after another, and revealing them again in due course.

We won't get to see it in Singapore, because our dear Sun has woken up. It starts at 7.30am Singapore time, on 2 April.

Merry Meet Ant Ant,

The formation as in the chart? Moving through the Orion belt right? So the timing given is exact starting time is it? So this is just Moon Eclipse or a very special one? Thanks.

Blessed Be,

Merry Meet Oceanos,

It doesn't move through the Orion belt. The Orion belt is there to help people recognize Pleiades. Without it, it will be hard to spot this star cluster.

The timing isn't exact, it's all predictions. The day would be exact though. I'm not sure if this is a moon eclipse or a special eclipse.
