20th-21st TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE – Full Moon – A FANTASTIC eclipse for North and South America!  Late night, but not super late night, the night before Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Day!  Here’s how to watch it:

- Get outside on the night of January 20th and find the full Moon.

- At 10:10 p.m. EST, the penumbral portion will start.  You probably won’t see anything happen though, since this is the lighter portion of the Earth’s shadow, and it barely dims the Moon’s surface.

- At 10:34 p.m. EST, the partial eclipse begins.  This is when the dark inner portion of the Earth’s shadow starts to engulf the Moon, taking about an hour to “eat it up”, leaving the eaten portion a dark red hue.

- At 11:41 p.m. EST TOTALITY begins.  If you start looking around now, look almost straight above you for a dark Moon.  The Moon is completely within the Earth’s shadow, but it will still appear a reddish/orange, since some sunlight has passed through the Earth’s atmosphere and, in passing, lost the BIV part of its spectrum and bent toward the Moon.  Essentially, you are witnessing the light from all of the sunsets and sunrises on Earth projected onto the Moon all at one time.  The Moon will be darkest at mid-eclipse, at 12:12 a.m.

- At 12:44 a.m. EST, totality will end, and the Moon will begin its hour-long exit from the shadow of the Earth, ending at 1:51 a.m. EST.  Technically, it’s still in the dim penumbral shadow until 2:15 a.m.

Paul Hill, Ralph Wilkins and Jenifer Millard host. Damien Phillips and John Wildridge produce.

The Discussion: Festive cheer, academic hiatuses, magnificent cheeses, a surfeit of meat, space themed presents and listeners’ emails.

The News: Rounding up the space and astronomy news this month we have:

- The Milky Way gives birth to around 7 stars per year

- Watching a star being born from a nearby massive star

- A new way to map the dark matter in our universe

- Where’s the methane on Mars?

- Saturn’s rings are more short lived than we thought

- The discovery of another outer solar system object

Main news story:

1) The ALMA telescope helps to understand how solar systems form and why newly forming planets don’t spiral into their host star.

2) The International Astronomical Union has its 100th anniversary in 2019 and there will be a series of events (probably near you) to celebrate a century of astronomy. https://www.iau-100.org/

The Sky Guide: Covering the solar system and deep sky objects on offer to amateur astronomers in the first month of the New Year.

Ralph: The Quadrantids peak on 3rd/4th January, a total lunar eclipse on 21st January, and Comet 46P Wirtanen still in our skies.

Jeni: Mars and Uranus in Pisces, a glimpse of Neptune in Aquarius, Venus blazing away before dawn, and Jupiter in Ophiuchus.

Paul: The Christmas Tree Cluster, Snowflake Cluster, Cone Nebula and the Fox Fur Nebula in Monoceros.

Main Deep Sky Object: M45, the Pleiades Cluster.

Q&A: Listeners’ questions via email, Facebook & Twitter take us on a journey into the astronomy issues that have always plagued our understanding or stretched our credulity. This month we take a look USAF’s rocket funding decision:

Could you explain light year, parsec, universal galactic unit and warp one, and how they relate to one another? Steve Parry, Wales.

Organisation name: Awesome Astronomy

http://www.awesomeastronomy.com

Bio: Awesome Astronomy is a podcast beamed direct from an underground bunker on Mars to promote science, space and astronomy (and enslave Earth if all goes well).

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org

Today's 2 topics:

- Fireballs are meteors which become brighter than the planet Venus and can sometimes be seen in the daytime. They are caused when small space rocks occasionally exceeding 3 feet in diameter enter our atmosphere and burn up high above us.

- My Catalina Sky Survey teammate Alex Gibbs discovered 2018 GE3, which approached to less than half of the Moon's distance from us.
