Yes. The total lunar eclipse of December 21, 2010 will be visible (weather permitting!) from the entire North American continent.
The total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017 will include the farthest, tiniest southwest corner of Iowa. but most if Iowa will see a partial eclipse on that day.

How can you use solar eclipse in sentence?
A solar eclipse is a rare but beautiful occasion.There are only a few places in the world where the solar eclipse will be visible.Thousands of people watched the solar eclipse through specially provided pinhole glasses.
What astronauts have been to the moon during a lunar eclipse?
As far as is known to the public, nobody has ever been on the surface of the moon during a lunar eclipse.
Has there ever been a solar eclipse?
Yes, there have been many solar eclipses.
Is there ever going to be an Eclipse?
There are generally two lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses each year. Sometimes you will see two partial eclipses instead of one total eclipse; in 2011, there will be four partial solar eclipses, and no total or annular solar eclipses. Since lunar eclipses happen on the Moon, they are visible from the entire night half of the Earth. Solar eclipses, when the Moon's shadow hits the Earth, affect very small areas of the Earth, and so they seem to be more rare. The next total lunar eclipse will happen on December 21, 2010, and will be visible from any point in North America.
Why do more people see total lunar eclipse than solar eclipse?
It is hard to explain, but in a total lunar eclipse, the earth's shadow covers up the entire lit face of the moon, making it dark. These eclipses can last more than an hour. A large percentage of people on the night side of earth during a lunar eclipse will get to see some part of the eclipse.With a solar eclipse, the moon's full shadow only covers a narrow band of earth's surface because the moon is much smaller than the earth. The 'path of totality' follows a certain course during the eclipse, at any location the eclipse will remain total only for a few minutes at most, and the path only covers a relatively small total area of the earth's surface.
When is a solar eclipse visible from any place on earth?
No single eclipse ... solar or lunar ... is ever visible from every place on earth.No single solar eclipse is ever visible from every place or even half of the earth.

Has there ever been an eclipse?
As far as I know, yes. There has been several solar eclipses, but I'm not quite sure about a lunar eclipse.
How often can you expect to see an eclipse?
There are generally two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. A lunar eclipse happens when the shadow of the Earth falls on the Moon. Each lunar eclipse is visible from the entire night half of the Earth, so on average you will see one lunar eclipse per year, from wherever on Earth that you live. There are also two total solar eclipses per year, but the shadow of the Moon on the Earth is much smaller. So the average person will hardly ever see a solar eclipse, unless you travel to the place where the eclipse will happen. On average, you can expect a solar eclipse to happen where you live once every 58 years. If you would like to see when the next solar eclipse will happen where you live, the link below to the Solar Eclipse Calendar will be useful. To see all solar eclipses in the world, the "World Solar Eclipse" link will give you a map.
Who created the lunar eclipse theory?
There is no lunar eclipse theory. Man has been watching lunar elcipses ever since he first roamed the earth.

Explain why lunar eclipses are more common than solar eclipse and why so few people ever have a chance to view a total solar eclipse?
Think about it. To observe a solar eclipse safely, you must have clear skies, sunny days, and either a smokey piece of glass or welder's goggles. To view the sun without protecttion will ruin your eyesight, and so most people will not attempt it again. However a lunar eclipse can be viewed from anywhere on the dark side of the earth, and so a higher number of people have an opportunity. The solar eclipse passes over a very narrow strip of earth relatively quickly too.
Why are solar eclipses an interest?
They rarely ever happen, and it is cool to watch. (They happen on the average 2.3 times every year, same as lunar eclipses, but they're still cool to watch.) The thing that makes them seem rarer is that a little over half the planet sees every lunar eclipse. To see a solar eclipse, though, you have to be in a very specific region, so for any given spot you're likely to see a lot more lunar eclipses than solar ones.
Did the solar eclipse ever kill a human?
We are not aware of any fatalities in history that are directly related to the occurrence of a solar eclipse.
Has there ever been a solar eclipse?
Yes, there have been many solar eclipses.
