January 2019's Total Lunar Eclipse & Super Blood Wolf Moon - By David Prosper, NASA Night Sky Network

Observers in the Americas are treated to a total lunar eclipse (and super blood wolf moon) this month! Total Lunar Eclipse
On eclipse night the Moon will be in Cancer, a constellation made up of dim stars. How many stars you can see near the full Moon before or after the eclipse? How many stars can you see during the total eclipse? The difference may surprise you.
A total lunar eclipse will occur on January 20th and be visible from start to finish During these observations, you may spot for observers located in North and South America. This eclipse might be a treat for folks a fuzzy cloud of stars relatively close to the Moon; this is known as the “Beehive Cluster,” with early bedtimes; western observers can M44, or Praesepe.

Mars
Mars is visible in the evening and sets before midnight. It is still bright but has faded considerably since its closest approach to Earth last summer. Watch the red planet travel through the constellation Pisces throughout January. Venus
Venus makes notable early morning appearances beside both Jupiter and the Moon later this month. Make sure to get up about an hour before sunrise for the best views of these events. First, Venus and Jupiter approach each other during the third full week of January. Watch their conjunction on the 22nd, when the planets appear to pass just under 2 ½ degrees of each other. The following week (week of January 28th), observe Venus in a close conjunction with a crescent Moon the morning of the 31st. For many observers their closest pass - just over half a degree apart, or less than a thumb’s width held at arm’s length will occur after sunrise. Since Venus and the Moon are so bright you may still be able to spot them, even after sunrise. Have you ever seen Venus in the daytime? If you have missed Saturn this winter, watch for the ringed planet’s return by the end of the month, when it rises right before sunrise in Sagittarius. See if you can spot it after observing Venus’ conjunctions!

All About the Lunar Eclipse with NASA Space Place
An eclipse happens when a planet or a moon gets in the way of the sun’s light. Here on Earth, we can experience two kinds of eclipses: solar eclipses and lunar eclipses. During a lunar eclipse, Earth gets in the way of the sun’s light hitting the moon. That means that during the night, a full moon fades away as Earth’s shadow covers it up. The moon can also look reddish because Earth’s atmosphere absorbs the other colors while it bends some sunlight toward the moon. Sunlight bending through the atmosphere and absorbing other colors is also why sunsets are orange and red. During a total lunar eclipse, the moon is shining from all the sunrises and sunsets occurring on Earth!
Why don’t we have a lunar eclipse every month?
The moon appears orange-red in a total lunar eclipse on October 27, 2004. Image: NASA
Because they don’t happen every month, a lunar eclipse is a special event. Unlike solar eclipses, lots of people get to see each lunar eclipse. If you live on the nighttime half of Earth when the eclipse happens, you’ll be able to see it. Source: spaceplace.nasa.gov
You might be wondering why we don’t have a lunar eclipse every month as the moon orbits Earth. It’s true that the moon goes around Earth every month, but it doesn’t always get in Earth’s shadow. The moon’s path around Earth is tilted compared to Earth’s orbit around the sun. The moon can be behind Earth but still get hit by light from the sun.
In this diagram, you can see that the moon’s orbit around Earth is at a tilt. This is why we don’t get a lunar eclipse every month. This diagram is not to scale: the moon is much farther away from Earth than shown here.
The January 2019 Lunar Eclipse will be visible here in North Carolina (assuming a clear sky without too many clouds) on January 20th from 10:34 pm to 12:33 am. (See more details on page 4).
Eclipse Model Project Have you ever wondered how eclipses occur? You can model the Earth-Moon system using just a couple of small balls and a measuring stick to find out! The “yardstick eclipse” model shown here is set up to demonstrate a lunar eclipse. The “Earth” ball (front, right) casts its shadow on the smaller “Moon” ball (rear, left). You can also simulate a solar eclipse just by flipping this model around. You can even use the Sun as your light source! Find more details on this simple eclipse model at bit.ly/yardstickeclipse or https://nightsky.jpl.nasa.gov/ download-view.cfm?Doc_ID=327

Keeping Kids Active During the Winter Months
When the weather turns cold and it gets dark early, keeping kids active can take some creativity. Here are some ideas for keeping your family moving all winter long: 1. Discover Indoor Facilities Visit an indoor pool, ice skating rink or basketball court at a local gym, school, or community center. Stay warm inside and get exercise when you go bowling! Bowling is fun for the whole family and it's a great way to get indoor exercise together with your kids. 2. Dance, Dance, Dance! Encourage your child to choose the music, then crank it up and dance away! March, box step, bounce, spin, shake it … it's a great way to burn calories. Sign up for classes at Triangle Youth Ballet (www.triangleyouthballet.org). 3. Take it Outside Even in the winter we have lots of warm days here in Chapel Hill, Durham and the North Carolina Triangle, so get the whole family outside for a walk in the neighborhood, a hike at a nearby nature area, or just go to your favorite playground for some fresh air! Visit www.chillkids.com to find local hiking areas in Chapel Hill, Durham, and Hillsborough.
4. Hit the Trails for Outdoor Winter Sports Have a family adventure and visit the North Carolina or Virginia mountains for snow trekking, skiing, snowboarding, or tubing with the kids for a fun aerobic workout. If we get some snow, find an ideal hill for sledding or tubing. Climbing back up the hill after each run is great exercise! 5. Visit a Zoo or a Farm Zoos and farms are fun winter destinations for learning how life changes through the seasons. Kids can also learn how animals are taken care of during winter. 6. Sign Up for Active Classes Enroll your child in an instructional group class. Try dancing, gymnastics, martial arts, fencing, indoor swimming lessons - anything that will get your child excited about staying active. 7. Find Middle Ground If kids do watch TV or play video games, set time limits, and establish a weekends-only rule. Encourage children -- and the whole family -- to take a break from screen time and do jumping jacks, situps, and push-ups. Have your own informal jumproping Olympics, and see who can set your family's jump-roping record! Have fun and stay warm this winter!

Celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day January 21, 2019 Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a federal holiday on the third Monday of every January, honoring the birthday, life and legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. This year we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Monday, January 21st.
In 1964 at the age of 35, he was awarded the Nobel Peace prize. He was the youngest person to have received the Nobel Peace Prize.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said,
Born on January 15, 1929, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was an American minister and leader in the Civil Rights Movement to ensure equality for all people in the United States.
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: ‘What are you doing for others?’”
Did you know?
As we begin the new year this January, we can all honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy by doing more for others at school, at home, and in our community.
Dr. King gave his famous “I Have a
Dream” speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC to a crowd of more than 200,000 people on August 28, 1963.

All About Penguins!
Penguins are found on every continent in the southern hemisphere. There are 17 different species of penguins! Most penguins live in Antarctica, while others live on the shores of South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, on the coasts of South America, and on the Galapagos Islands of the Pacific.
The female Emperor penguin lays one egg, and the male penguin tucks the egg between his legs on top of his feet, under a flap of his belly. The male keeps the egg warm until it hatches, which takes about 64 days. He is very careful not to drop the egg. The male Emperor penguins huddle together to keep warm. Temperatures are as low as -70ºF!
While the male Emperor penguin takes care of the egg, The Emperor penguin is the largest penguin species. Emperor penguins grow to be four feet tall and weigh up to the mother penguin makes the long journey back to the sea to find food. When she returns, it is time for the baby 60 pounds. Emperor penguins live in the Antarctic. to hatch, or it may have already hatched by the time the mother penguin returns. Then the male penguin heads for the sea to eat. He has fasted (had no food) while keeping the egg warm for more than two months! Some of the other penguin species can lay more than one egg. For example, the Adélie penguin lays one or two eggs. Before laying the eggs, the female and male Adélie penguins make a nest by gathering stones in their beaks and making them into a pile. Like the Emperor penguin, the male Adélie penguin guards the nest while the female journeys to the sea to find food. The female returns after two weeks and then changes places with the male, taking her spot on the nest. They will switch places one more time, before the baby penguins hatch from the eggs. Male and female adult Adélie penguins look alike; they both have a black tail that looks like a tuxedo! To learn more, families may enjoy watching documentary movies about penguins, including The March of the Penguins (2005), March of the Penguins 2 (2018) and Adventures of the Penguin King (2013). Also look for the new Disneynature movie, Penguins, that will be coming to theaters on Earth Day 2019 (April 2019).

PENGUIN FUN FACTS
A group of Adélie penguins in Antarctica, Creative Commons.
Penguins in Antarctica have black backs and white stomachs, which helps them regulate their body temperature.
Penguins are birds, but they don’t fly in the air. They spend most of their life "flying" under water!
Penguins can come out of the sea with such speed and power that they soar into the air, like porpoises.
When they are cold, they face their backs toward the sun to help warm themselves. If they feel warm they turn their white stomachs toward the sun, which reflects the heat and helps them cool down.
They can swim at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour.
When they are on land, penguins stand up like a person and waddle around.
Their wings are flippers, which help them dive.
Sometimes penguins lay on their bellies and use their flippers They can dive 30 and feet like oars to feet underwater row around on the before returning to the ice — this is called surface of the sea. tobogganing.

SPORTS
Come Out and Play:
It’s Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month!
January is a great time to learn how to ski and snowboard, especially since January is Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month! Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month is a national effort to encourage families to get out on the snow and learn a new winter sport from a professional instructor. Many ski resorts across the U.S. are offering free or affordable programs for beginners and those who have some experience during the month of January. The whole family can have fun trying out a new winter sport! Find participating resorts by going to the official website: https://learntoskiandsnowboard.org. Over the years, the national ambassadors and leadership team for Learn to Ski and Snowboard month have included extreme skier Glen Plake, who is well known for the tall mohawk hair style he wears on the slopes, Olympic gold medalist snowboarder Kelly Clark, Olympic gold medalist Bode Miller, and many more. They all love skiing and want to get you out to learn a winter sport. “I urge people of all ages to come out to take ski and snowboard lessons . . . regardless of ability,” said Plake. “I want everyone to get out there and fun on the snow like I do. You don’t have to be that good; you just have to enjoy yourself.” The Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month program encourages children and adults - the whole family! - to get involved with skiing and snowboarding, and makes it easy for anyone to take some lessons and get some exercise out on the snow. Skiing and snowboarding are lifetime sports. Start out by taking lessons, learn how to dress to stay warm, and learn how to fuel your body with nutritious foods. If you’re already a skier or snowboarder, you can develop your skills by taking more advanced lessons and brushing up your skills.
Above: Olympics Gold Medal Winner Kelly Clark is an Ambassador and Leader for Ski and Snowboard Month.
Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month began in 2009 when a few resort associations launched their state-wide programs. Now resorts in many states across the country offer special learning programs during January. Resorts in some states also offer beginner/ introduction programs for cross country skiing and snowshoeing. It’s fun. Don’t hibernate! Come out and play!
