No. A lunar eclipse will occur Tuesday morning, 12/21/2010. It will take about four hours
to run through its various stages, with the moon totally immersed in the earth's shadow
from about 1:30 AM until 2:45 AM Central time.
Yes, there are generally two solar eclipses every year. Sometimes when the Earth, Moon and Sun don't quite line up perfectly, we get two partial eclipses (a month apart) instead of one total or annular eclipse. 2011 was one of those; there were 4 partial eclipses, but no total ones.
The most recent partial solar eclipse was on November 25, 2011.
The next solar eclipse will be annular, on May 20, 2012, just one month from today. It will be visible from Japan, across the northern Pacific, to northern California to New Mexico and Texas.
The next TOTAL solar eclipse will be on November 13, 2012, and will extend from northern Australia across the south Pacific to the southern tip of South America.
Today is December 31, 2009. There is supposed to be a partial moon eclipse that can be seen in the Eastern Hemisphere. Tonight there is also a "blue moon."
There was a lunar eclipse on Dec 21 2010 at about 0800 UT.
no it only happens every 80 years
The eclipse must occur during daytime at your location, you must be located within a few tens of miles of the central path of the eclipse, the sky at your location must be clear at the time of totality, and you must be awake and outside.
Eclipses themselves will not have any effect on your life. An eclipse is no different from night. Philosophically, the emotions that you feel while viewing an eclipse can be quite powerful. And if you are staring at the eclipsed Sun during a solar eclipse, the moment at which the Moon moves to reveal the Sun, the sunlight can seriously damage your eyes, but that's true of any time when you stare directly at the Sun.
False!!!! A Lunar Eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and Moon. A Solar Eclipse occurs when then Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth.
There are 4 types of solar eclipse. Total, Hybrid, Annular and Partial eclipses.A Total Eclipse is when the sun totally covers the sun.An Annular Eclipse is when the whole moon is in line with the sun but the apparent diameter of the moon is less than the apparent diameter of the sun.A Hybrid Eclipse is when some places on Earth experience a annular eclipse and other places see a total eclipse.A Partial Eclipse is when the moon is not totally in line with the sun and only eclipses part of the sun.
New Age writers cite Mayan and Aztec calendars which predict the end of the age on Dec 21, 2012.So, I guess its true.
True, if you are in the shadow path of the eclipse.
Yes, because the moon is is not covered by anything when the solar eclipse occurs.
The eclipse must occur during daytime at your location, you must be located within a few tens of miles of the central path of the eclipse, the sky at your location must be clear at the time of totality, and you must be awake and outside.
yes
Yes it is true. The next total solar eclipse will be in the South Pacific Area on July 11th, 2010. Most South Pacific Islands are the best places to view the eclipse from or alternatively can be viewed in the south west of Argentina in the late evening.
it's true
no that is an eclipse of the moon an eclipse of the sun is a solar eclipse.The name of our sun is Sol, so an eclipse of the sun is sol-ar; the moon's name is Luna, so a lunar eclipse is an eclipse of the moon.
Yes.
Yes it is true.
Yes
True.
Impacts were extremely common in the young solar system, but impacts still occur today, just not so often.The most talked about impact was Shoemaker-Levy 9 which impacted on Jupiter in July 1994. So generally true but impacts still do occur and will do while there are asteroids and comets around.
