Lunar Eclipse Sequence

A lunar eclipse is an eclipse which occurs whenever the moon passes behind the earth such that the earth blocks the sun’s rays from striking the moon. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle.

The Comet Holmes

Comet Holmes, or 17P/Holmes, is a periodic comet in our solar system, discovered by the British amateur astronomer Edwin Holmes on November 6, 1892. Although normally a very faint object, Holmes became notable during its 2007 return when it temporarily brightened by a factor of about half a million, in what was the largest known outburst by a comet, and became visible to the naked eye. It also briefly became the largest object in the solar system, as its coma (the thin dissipating dust ball around the comet) expanded to a diameter greater than that of the Sun.

Wightman, Kingsley

Wightman guided Chabot from near closure after its aging Mountain Boulevard observatory atop the Hayward Fault was banned for use by students in 1977 to the planning stages of its state-of-the-art complex on Skyline Boulevard. His legacy, however, will undoubtedly be defined by the estimated 500,000 students spanning 46 years who were mesmerized by his unique classroom presentations, scrambled for seats in his planetarium shows and jockeyed for time with him at Chabot’s telescopes.
