Silent groups of men clustered at various dark street corners throughout the University last night, but their only purpose was to observe the summer's first eclipse of the moon.
According to strict astronomical calculations, the eclipse began at 9 o'clock, but not until 10 o'clock was the earth's shadow, as it began to creep across the face of the moon, visible to the naked eye.
The moon reached its full eclipse, appearing as a dull copper ball, at 11:01 o'clock and remained unchanged until 12:35 when the earth's shadow began to recede. Since the dimout regulations removed most of the glare from the skies and only scattered clouds appeared, the course of the phenomenon was clearly visible in all its stages.
