A lunar eclipse occurs whenever the Moon passes
directly through Earth's dark shadow. This can only
occur during full Moon. Since we have a Full Moon
every 29 and 1/2 days, you'd think we would have a
lunar eclipse once a month. Unfortunately, the Moon's
orbit is tipped 5 degrees with respect to Earth's
orbit around the Sun. As a result, a lunar eclipse can
only happen when Full Moon occurs as the Moon passes
through Earth's orbital plane. This occurs once or
twice every year and the resulting eclipse can be seen
from the half of the Earth experiencing night.
On October 27, 2004, the full Moon will undergo a deep total eclipse
lasting for 1 hour 22 minutes, when it will be high in the eastern sky
after dark but while most people are still awake and about.

The World Series Lunar Eclipse should be visible to fans with

good sight lines from Busch Memorial Stadium in St. Louis,
and we can hope that TV crews periodically aim up to show the
progress of the event. Millions of watchers could be inspired to
duck outside for a look between innings. (P.S.: Go Sox!)

It shows the various stages of the eclipse and the Moon's relative
position
with respect to the umbra during the three and a half hours of the eclipse.
The multiple exposure technique was used to take this photo during the
total lunar eclipse of 2000 July 16 from Maui. A Nikon 8008 was used in
multiple exposure mode to capture the entire eclipse on one frame of
film. The basic exposure of 1/125 second at f/5.6 was increased to 1/8
second within 15 minutes of totality and then set to 4 seconds throughout
totality. A second exposure (metered) captures morning twilight and
silhouetted palm trees.
