Flower Moon
May 15, 2003,
11:36 p.m.
EDT
Flowers are abundant everywhere
at this time of year. It was also known as the Full Corn Planting Moon
or the Milk Moon.
A total lunar eclipse also
occurs on this night, the first of two such spectacular events that will be
visible to most Americans in 2003 (the other coming in November). The umbral
phase of the eclipse, involving a partial shadow, will run from 10:03 p.m. into
1:18 a.m. EDT (on May 16). Totality will last 53 minutes beginning at 11:14
p.m.
[SPACE.com will provide
a complete guide to the eclipse this spring.]
