April 26, 2013 Subtle Partial Lunar Eclipse
On the early morning of April 26, 2013 , there
was a very subtle partial lunar eclipse that was
visible here in the Philippines as
well as whole of Europe, Africa and Asia. The Earth's umbral (dark) shadow only cover less than 1.5% of
the Moon's northern surface area but it was totally
immersed on the penumbral (light) shadow nevertheless.
Penumbral eclipse will start at around 2:04am with umbral eclipse starting at around 3:54am. Maximum
eclipse will occur at around 4:09am with about 1.5&
obscuration. Then umbral eclipse ended at around 4:21am. Penumbral eclipse ends
at around 6:11am but Moonset occured at around 5:40am
thus ending the eclipse before penumbral eclipse ends.
Below are 2 composite parts of the eclipse taken by ALP
President James Kevin Ty & VP Jett Aguilar.
