Bashful Moon Ducks Into Shadow Again

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A repeat performance of one of nature's most spectacular shows will take place this evening when the Western Hemisphere gets a look at the second lunar eclipse within six months.

Charles A. Federer, of the College Observatory staff, said yesterday that the moon will enter the shadow of the earth at 8:05 p.m. and come back into the sunlight by 11:48. The period of totality will be between 9:20 and 10:33 p.m.

Tonight's eclipse will be "prettier" than last April's, Federer expects. The moon is now at its furthest distance from the earth, and there will be more light within the shadow.

Now it's up to the Weather Bureau.
