Imiloa September 2024 Sky Watch Aces Full-Moon Penumbral Lunar Eclipse

Summary: Imiloa September 2024 Sky Watch aces full-moon penumbral lunar eclipse Tuesday, Sep. 17, 2024, from 6:25 p.m. until 6:47 p.m. Hawaii-Aleutian Time.

"God talks to human beings through many vectors: through each other, through organized religion, through the great books of those religions, through wise people, through art and music and literature and poetry, but nowhere with such detail and grace and color and joy as through creation. When we destroy a species, when we destroy a special place, we're diminishing our capacity to sense the divine, understand who God is and what our own potential is." Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., April 19, 2023, Boston Park Plaza Hotel, Back Bay, Boston, Massachusetts.

“And there’s many people out there who want us to move to the next planet already and I’m like, hang on, let’s not give up on this planet yet," William, Prince of Wales, July 31, 2023, Sorted Food food truck, London, England, United Kingdom.

The penumbral lunar eclipse above the Hilo area of Hawaii County, island and state advantages its Hilo-area appreciators, according to Imiloa September 2024 Sky Watch, “around the maximum eclipse.” That time affirms itself on the above image as the “Eclipse at MoonRise.” The Hawaiian Islands affix themselves at the dot in the Pacific Ocean just above the box “P4.”; graphic of visibility and non-visibility regions for Wednesday, Sep. 18, 2024, partial lunar eclipse, according to Eclipse Predictions by Fred Espenak, NASA GSFC Emeritus, NASA Eclipse Web Site

The Wednesday, Sep. 18, partial lunar eclipse is the second of two 2024 lunar eclipses, takes place as third in the year's lineup of four eclipses and favors South America.

Imiloa September 2024 Sky Watch aces full-moon penumbral lunar eclipse Tuesday, Sep. 17, 2024, 6:25 p.m. over Hilo, Hawaii island, and 6:37 p.m. over Honolulu, Oahu island, until 6:47 p.m. Hawaii-Aleutian Time.

Hilo-area eclipsing begins at 6:25 p.m. Hawaii-Aleutian Standard (2:25 Chamorro, 5:25 Samoa, 8:25 Alaska, 9:25 Pacific, 10:25 Mountain, 11:25 Central, 12:25 a.m. Eastern, 1:25 Atlantic) Time. Honolulu-area eclipsing commences at 6:37 p.m. Hawaii-Aleutian Standard (2:37 Chamorro, 5:37 Samoa, 8:37 Alaska, 9:37 Pacific, 10:37 Mountain, 11:37 Central, 12:37 a.m. Eastern, 1:37 Atlantic) Time. Hilo-area eclipsing displays until 6:47 p.m. Hawaii-Aleutian Standard (2:47 Chamorro, 5:47 Samoa, 8:47 Alaska, 9:47 Pacific, 10:47 Mountain, 11:47 Central, 12:47 a.m. Eastern, 1:47 Atlantic) Time.

Honolulu-area eclipsing perhaps entails 6:49 p.m. Hawaii-Aleutian Standard (2:49 Chamorro, 5:49 Samoa, 8:49 Alaska, 9:49 Pacific, 10:49 Mountain, 11:49 Central, 12:49 a.m. Eastern, 1:49 Atlantic) end-times.

Penumbral lunar eclipses (from Latin paene umbra, “almost shadow”) frustrate Hawaiian (from Hawaiian ha wai ‘i, “breath life-force supreme”) followers even as a full moon figures.

Imiloa September 2024 Sky Watch in Hilo (from Hawaiian ‘imi loa, “to search far”; hilo, “thread”) guards a four-phase new, first-quarter, full and last-quarter moon-phase month. Hawaii, Oahu (from Hawaiian o’ahu, “gathering-place”) and six others in main- and Northwestern-islands Hawaiian archipelago (grouped[-together] islands, from Greek ἀρχι- πέλαγος, “main sea”) have island-specific months. ‘Imiloa Astronomy Center, University of Hawaii-Hilo, Hawaii County identifies September as Kepakemapa even as Kapio’olani Community College indicates Hilinama and Ikuwa (“confident[-plant-growth] fading”?; “cloudburst-, surf-, thunder-roaring”?).

Imiloa September 2024 Sky Watch jubilates a full-moon penumbral lunar eclipse (Hawaiianized as mahina piha/poepoe, “full moon”; pouli ka mahina, “eclipse the moon[‘s]”) Tuesday the 17th.

Native Polynesian-ancestored traditional Hawaiians keepsake months kindled from ekolu anahulu (from Hawaiian ‘ekolu anahulu, “three 10 days[’ period]”), known as anahulu hoonui, anahulu poepoe, anahulu emi.

Anahulu hoonui (“enlarge”), anahulu poepoe (“round”), anahulu emi (“diminish”) respectively log Imiloa first-quarter, full-moon, last-quarter phases (Hawaiianized as mahina hapalua mua, mahina piha/poepoe, mahina hapalua hope). Imiloa Sky Watch moves new-moon mahina hou Monday the 2nd-Monday the 9th before first-quarter Tuesday the 10th-Monday the 16th before full-moon Tuesday the 17th-Monday the 23rd. Cloudy, overcast skies with 0.11 inches (2.794 millimeters) of drier-, hotter-season kau (“roost” literally) rain perhaps 6:00 a.m. onward perhaps negates a noteworthiest penumbral lunar eclipse.

Imiloa September 2024 Sky Watch observes a full-moon penumbral lunar eclipse whose optimal observation ‘Imiloa Astronomy Center offers as the time that occasions “the maximum eclipse."

The full moon presents itself by 6:25 p.m. HAST (2:25 Chamorro, 5:25 Samoa, 8:25 Alaska, 9:25 Pacific, 10:25 Mountain, 11:25 Central, 12:25 a.m. Eastern, 1:25 Atlantic).

The Earthly shadow’s central, darker, inner part and that shadow’s lighter, outer part quartering our moon quantify variably by questers quartered at variable latitudes and longitudes. Umbral (from Latin umbra, “shadow”) entrance and exit realize a darker, reddened result in the above-mentioned maximum eclipse just before our moon’s penumbral entry and exit. Outer-shadow entrance and exit from the inner-shadow sojourn should show our moon with a dimly, lightly red-white tint that overcast skies and slight rainfall sometimes sabotage.

Imiloa September 2024 Sky Watch treats its Hiloans to a full-moon penumbral lunar eclipse whose moon triggers next-day setting Wednesday the 18th at 6:48 a.m. HAST.

The penumbral lunar eclipse over the Hilo area of Hawaii County, island and state aligns most accurately graphically with the above image of our Moon in the lighter, outer-shadow penumbra of our Earth. The Earthly shadow allows two lighter, outer-shadow, penumbral lunar eclipses, one penumbrally before and another penumbrally after maximum eclipsing, around one central, darker, inner-shadow, umbral lunar eclipse; graphic of September 2024 lunar eclipse chart of moon's total lunar eclipse path through the earth's shadow: SockPuppetForTomruen at English Wikipedia, Public Domain, via Wikimedia Commons
