17/02 Penumnral Lunar Eclipse

​

For those new to the subject, solar and lunar eclipses are THE time to measure the inter-active impact of massive objects (the sun, moon and planet earth) aligning - or closely aligning - with one another.

 

This particular event was an ‘almost’ eclipse.  The moon passed through the penumbra of the earth - at a tangent to, but not quite intersecting with the shadow of the planet.  Wikipedia describes the penumbra as ‘A partial shadow between regions of full shadow (the umbra) and full illumination, especially as cast by Earth, the Moon, or another body during an eclipse’.

 

In practice, this meant that we could see a darkening of the top region of the moon, but no definitive bite taken out of the lunar disc, as such.

 

However, it was still a point in time and space where earth energies change dramatically and rapidly.  The table below indicates the summary widths of an energy line running across the hallway of our bungalow in Tavistock, Devon, UK and the aura around an amethyst crystal placed in an otherwise energetically neutral location. 

 

Although this dataset only covers the period up to greatest eclipse, the sequence is similar to previous series.  However, this time the effect on the width of both subjects was somewhat steeper, implying that other factors outside of the scope of the study were coming into play.
