Clark quoted in Press Herald article on total eclipse of supermoon
David Clark, a physics lecturer at the University of Maine and member of the Penobscot Valley Star Gazers, spoke with the Portland Press Herald about the rare total lunar eclipse of a supermoon that will take place Sunday, Sept. 27. The specific eclipse has occurred only five times since 1900 and won’t happen again until 2033, according to the article. Clark’s group will host a public star party at the Bangor Municipal Golf Course, the article states. He said beyond observing the eclipse, the event will provide a great viewing of the moon’s features. “It’s always great to see shadows move across the moon. You get to see the depth sometimes, the height of a mountain,” Clark said.
