From start to finish, February's lunar eclipse lasts about three hours and twenty-six minutes (not including the penumbral phases which are very difficult to see). The partial eclipse begins as the Moon's eastern edge slowly moves into the Earth's umbral shadow. During the partial phases, it takes just over an hour for the Moon's orbital motion to carry it entirely within the Earth's dark umbra. The color and brightness of the totally eclipsed Moon can vary considerably from one eclipse to another. Dark eclipses are caused by volcanic gas and dust which filters and blocks much of the Sun's light from reaching the Moon. But since no major volcanic eruptions have taken place recently, the Moon will probably take on a vivid red or orange color during the total phase. After the total phase ends, it is once again followed by a partial eclipse as the Moon gradually leaves the umbral shadow.
The total phase of a lunar eclipse is called totality. At this time, the Moon is completely immersed within the Earth's dark umbral shadow. During the February 20 eclipse totality will last just under 50 minutes. This is quite a bit less than the last total lunar eclipse ( August 28, 2007) which lasted 90 minutes.

Mars stations Retrograde on November 15, 2007 @ 12 Cancer 27 and stations Direct on January 30, 2008 @ 24 Gemini 05. Mars enters the "Retrograde shadow", or 24 Gemini 05, on September 16, 2007 and leaves the "Retrogade shadow", or 12 Cancer 27, on April 4, 2008. Mars will also be "out-of-bounds" by Declination from October 6, 2007 - April 25, 2008.
I'm sorry it is in the retrograde shadow at this point. My bad. Has the same effects. |
