英文题目
2. (7 points) On the night of January 21st, 2019, there was a total lunar eclipse during a supermoon. At the time, the moon was close to perigee, at a distance of 351837 km from the earth, which was 1.4721*10^8 km from the sun. The gamma (γ) of a lunar eclipse refers to the closest distance between the center of the moon and the center of the shadow, expressed as a fraction of the earth’s radius. For this eclipse, γ = 0.3684. Given this information, find the closest estimate for the duration of totality of the eclipse.
