Union to fight for employee-friendly pay system at Homeland Security War on terror eclipses homeland security effort By Siobhan Gorman, National Journal The day was September 10, 2001. Official Washington had just returned from its sleepy August recess. At the White House, Adm. Steve Abbot was reporting for his new assignment: leading Vice President Dick Cheney's task force on terrorism. At the National Security Council, the Deputies Committee was putting the finishing touches on its three-year plan to put Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network out of commission, ideally by winning the cooperation of Afghanistan's fundamentalist Taliban, which was harboring them. Over at Langley, the CIA counterterrorism center's first chief of strategic assessment was also starting his first day on the job. At the Justice Department, Attorney General John Ashcroft was rejecting for a second time the FBI's plea for a bigger counter-terrorism budget.

128. Museum Eclipse 2001: About - History Ancient observations of solar eclipses from many different cultures and civilizations date back to at least 2500 BC in the writings that have survived from http://museumeclipse.org/about/history.html

Woodcut representation of an eclipse. For more about eclipses through history see the Sun-Eating Dragon article at the Exploratorium's Solar Eclipse Site Ancient observations of solar eclipses from many different cultures and civilizations date back to at least 2500 B.C. in the writings that have survived from ancient China and Babylon. To establish an accurate luni-solar calendar, people in ancient civilizations observed the moon regularly. Lunar eclipses were the first major celestial events that astrologers learned how to predict based on local historical observation records. Why the Interest in Eclipses? One of the first things civilizations must do to ensure a coherent society is to establish an accurate calendar to organize planting and harvesting of crops. Most early calendars were lunar calendars, because the monthly duration of the lunar cycle is 29.53 days, 12.37 months during a solar seasonal year. Every year, the lunar "synodic" calendar of 29.53 days slips by 0.38 of a month or 11.2 days relative to the seasonal "planting" year. At the same time that ancient peoples kept track of how the lunar and solar calendars meshed with each other, they also uncovered some of the factors that lead to lunar and solar eclipses which also require specific timings of the solar and lunar positions across the sky and over the years. In many ways, the ability to predict eclipses was an outgrowth of the pre-existing need to keep track of lunar and solar calendar relationships.

Lunar Eclipses This image explains how the Earth's shadow causes a lunar eclipse. Notice the difference between the umbra and the penumbra. Click on image for full size ( 17K JPG Windows Original Lunar eclipses are special events that only occur when certain conditions are met. First of all, the Moon must be in full phase . Secondly, the Sun Earth and Moon must be in a perfectly straight line. If both of these are met, then the Earth's shadow can block the Sun's light from hitting the Moon. There are three types of lunar eclipses. Which one we will see depends on the alignment of the three celestial objects. But first, you need to know that the Earth's shadow is broken up into two parts. The umbra is the darker part of the shadow, where no part of the Sun can been seen. The penumbra is lighter than the umbra, because part of the Sun can be seen. So, when part of the Moon passes through the umbra, this is called a partial eclipse. When all of the Moon passes through the umbra, this is called a total eclipse. Finally, when the Moon only passes through the penumbra, this is called a penumbral eclipse. Now that you know all about eclipses, you can step outside and enjoy the show! Remember that lunar eclipses are not dangerous to the eye, so you don't need protection to watch. Just find a nice, cozy spot and enjoy!

Eclipse Software EmapWin(Version 1.21) Emapwin Overview Emapwin simulate the solar eclipse from 3000BC to 3000AD. The Emapwin Eclipse simulation software has the following main features. 1) Display of the Eclipse Map The Emapwin calculates and draws the following lines on the map. a) Curve of the central line of the umbra b) Curve of the northern and southern limit of the umbra c) Curve of the northern and southern limit of the penumbra d) Curve of the rising and setting e) Curve of the maximum eclipse at sunrise and sunset f) Curve of the maximum eclipse g) Curve of the equal magnitude 2) Display of the table of the Central line The Emapwin makes a table indicates the northern, central and southern limit of the umbra by the parameter of the longitude. So it is easy to draw the line on the map. 3) Display of the Local Circumstance The Emapwin calculate the local circumstance such as maximum magnitude, time , altitude of the sun and direction at the given place. The Emapwin also simulate and display the eclipse at the given place. 4) Display of the Sky at Max. Magnitude

135. Eclipses Royal Astronomical Society of New Zealand. eclipses. cover the Sun s disk. Solar eclipses can only occur at the time of New Moon. http://www.rasnz.org.nz/Eclipses.htm

Royal Astronomical Society of New Zealand Eclipses Eclipses in 2004 Next total Solar eclipse in Australia Next total Solar eclipse in New Zealand Transit of Mercury, 1999 November 15. A Solar eclipse takes place when the Moon passes in front of the Sun as seen from somewhere on the Earth. The distance of the Moon from the Earth varies - the closer the Moon is, the larger it appears to be. When the Moon is at its closest to the Earth (near perigee) it appears large enough to completely cover the Sun. If this happens a total eclipse of the Sun can be seen - if you are at the right place in the Earth. At times when the Moon is more distant from the Earth its apparent size is slightly less than that of the Sun. In which case if an eclipse occurs there will be a ring of sunlight surrounding the dark silhouette of the Moon resulting in an annular eclipse. Annular eclipses are more frequent than total eclipses, because even at its average distance from the Earth, the Moon is not quite large enough to completely cover the Sun's disk. Solar eclipses can only occur at the time of New Moon. However at most New Moons, the Moon either passes above or below the Sun as seen from the Earth, hence the Moon's shadow misses the Earth.

EXPLORE ANIMALS ENVIRONMENT HISTORICAL BIRTHDAYS ... home Contents Lunar Eclipses. Solar Eclipses. Frequency of Eclipses. Observation of Eclipses. ECLIPSE, in astronomy , the obscuring of one celestial body by another, particularly that of the sun or a planetary satellite. Two kinds of eclipses involve the earth: those of the moon, or lunar eclipses; and those of the sun, or solar eclipses. A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth is between the sun and the moon and its shadow darkens the moon. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon is between the sun and the earth and its shadow moves across the face of the earth. Transits and occultations are similar astronomical phenomena but are not as spectacular as eclipses because of the small size of these bodies as seen from earth. Lunar Eclipses. top The earth , lit by the sun, casts a long, conical shadow in space. At any point within that cone the light of the sun is wholly obscured. Surrounding the shadow cone, also called the umbra, is an area of partial shadow called the penumbra. The approximate mean length of the umbra is 1,379,200 km (857,000 mi); at a distance of 384,600 km (239,000 mi), the mean distance of the moon from the earth, it has a diameter of about 9170 km (about 5700 mi). A total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes completely into the umbra. If it moves directly through the center, it is obscured for about 2 hr. If it does not pass through the center, the period of totality is less and may last for only an instant if the moon travels through the very edge of the umbra.
