At the instant of greatest eclipse (12:03 UT), the Moon will stand near the zenith for observers in the central Pacific. At that time, the umbral eclipse magnitude will be only 0.068. North Americans will all see the start of the event, but the Moon sets by mid-eclipse for observers east of the Mississippi River and Great Lakes. Further west, the entire event is visible from the Pacific coast provinces and states as well as eastern Asia and Australia. d h m Moon enters penumbra October 17 9 51.4 Moon enters umbra 17 11 34.0 UT 0634 EST 1704 IST Middle of eclipse 17 12 03.3 UT 0703 EST 1733 IST Moon leaves umbra 17 12 32.5 UT 0733 EST 1803 IST Moon leaves penumbra 17 14 15.1 In India as per above schedule, lunar eclipse starts at 1704 IST and ends at 1803 IST. In Chennai, the moon rise is at 1744 IST. Hence it is already eclipsed. So there is 19 minutes of eclipse seeable in Chennai. So Chennai residents have to do filial rites in 19 minutes. In Bangalore, moon rise is at 1755 IST. So there is only 8 minutes of eclipse duration visible. Since this interval is insufficient, Bangalore residents are exempted from doing Tarpana. In Mysore moonrise is at 1759 IST and so just four minutes of eclipse is visible. So Mysore residents also spared from Tarpana. I presume that I have given the right times of EST in NEWYORK. I think there will be grastAsta by 0703 EST by which time you have to finish Tarpana if any. US Westcoast and East Asia residents may see the entire eclipse. If any error is there anybody please correct me. Adiyen Ramanuja On Wed, 5 Oct 2005, honganour krishna wrote: > Dear Mama, > > I live in Queens, New York.
