Live To observe the
total solar eclipse on Tuesday 13 November, several scientific expeditions have
moved to the Australian state of Queensland. One is 'Mission eclipse', which,
in collaboration with the Newspaper of Catalonia, and Alumni UB (University of
Barcelona), cover the relay from a privileged location in Cairns (Queensland),
overlooking the Barrier Reef Pacific Ocean.
After more than a year
without total solar eclipses (the last took place on July 11, 2010), the shadow
of the Moon revisits the earth's surface on 13 November 2012. The tour begins
in Australia's shadow, then move to the Pacific Ocean. The maximum eclipse will
occur at 23.11 am (GMT) and will run for 4 minutes and 2 seconds, with the Sun
at 68 degrees above the horizon.
SEVERAL PHENOMENA
If the weather permits,
during the eclipse can be observed many scientific phenomena. At first glance
and without any protection features a completely black lunar disc surrounded by
a beautiful solar corona, the form and brightness depends on the moment when
our star is currently in its activity cycle.
They will lower the temperatures;
the day will go dark and visible planets Venus, Saturn and Mercury, and the
brightest stars in the southern sky. During this eclipse will be seen hardly
reach the shadow of the Moon on the mountainous east, but it will be
appreciated twilight colors in daylight on the full circle of the horizon. With
low magnification photograph may Pearls Bayly, bright points of light around
the moon caused by sunlight passing through the lunar mountains. The first and
last rays produce a flash of light called a splendid diamond ring that will
make the moment one of the most emotional moments of the day astronomy.
The broadcast of the
total solar eclipse will begin at 2135 hours on mainland time in Spain. The
total will be at 21.38 hours and will last just over 2 minutes. Santacana Sara
Special Envoy 'Mission eclipse' to Queensland 2012 will be the host of this
broadcast, showing the sequence of the eclipse before, during and after all and
environmental images from the observation place.
NEW MOON
A solar eclipse occurs
when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth and hidden, partially or
totally, the Sun from the point of view of the Earth. This occurs only when
there is new moon and the sun and moon are perfectly aligned, as seen from
Earth. In a total solar eclipse, the Sun's disk is completely covered by the
Moon. In a partial or annular eclipse, only part of the sun is obscured.
