According to NASA Solar System Sys-tem Ambassador to Utah Patrick Wiggins, "Thedark, easily visible part of the eclipse will start about 6:45 p.m." Totality will arrive at 8: 0 1 and last until 8:50. During totality the appearance appear-ance of the moon can vary from bright orange or copper, to blood red, to invisible. The color comes from a small amount of light that is refracted (or bent) around the edge of the earth by earth's atmosphere. If the atmosphere happens to be especially clear at the time of the eclipse the refracted light is fairly bright. A dustier atmosphere atmo-sphere can make for a dramatic red color or even render the moon invisible. The "coming out" portion of the eclipse will run until a few minutes after 10 p.m. when the last traces of the earth's dark shadow will disappear from the lunar surface. Adding to the view will be the planet Saturn just to the lower left of the moon. While easily visible to the naked eye as a bright "star", a telescope will be needed to show Saturn's beautiful system of rings. The last total eclipse of the moon visible from Utah occurred last August. The next one will occur in 2010. Utah will not experience an eclipse of the Sun until a partial eclipse occurs in 2012. The next total eclipse of the Sun to be visible from Utah will not occur until 2045 although one will pass just north of the state in 2017. Eclipses of the moon occur when the moon passes into the shadow of the earth, while eclipses of the Sun are caused by the earth passinginto the shadow of the moon. Several organizations across the state will host eclipse parties. par-ties. The Friends of the Utah Field House in conjunction with the Utah Field House of Natural History State Park will be hosting host-ing a star and eclipse party on Wednesday, Feb. 20 at 7 p.m. Discussion about the eclipse will occur as we watch it happen. The Salt Lake Astronomical Society will open it's Stansbury Park Observatory Complex to the public for the eclipse. To reach the observatory from Salt Lake take Interstate 80 west to exit 99 (the StansburyTooele exit) and then travel south to Stansbury Park where signs lead the way to the observatory. In addition the University of Utah and Southern Utah University Uni-versity in Cedar City will open their observatories to the public for the eclipse. The U's observatory observa-tory is located on the roof of the South Physics Building, just off of President's Circle at 125 South 1400 East, while SUU's observatory obser-vatory is. located on the hilltop just south of the SUU Farm on Westview Drive. The observatories are un-heated un-heated so visitors should dress warmly. There is no charge for admission.
