Eclipse can be seen at many movie theaters.
Because a total lunar is seen from half the Earth simultaneously. A total solar is only seen along a strip of the Earth's surface that is less than 50 miles wide, which contains fewer people.
A total lunar eclipse can be seen anywhere on Earth where the moon is visible..so you are more likely to see a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse.
Sometimes a lunar eclipse can be seen with the naked eye. Often times, a telescope assists in viewing an eclipse.
On Jan 26, 2009 there will be an Annular Solar Eclipse. This eclipse will be seen in South Africa, Antarctica, South East Asia, and Australia. On Feb 9, 2009 there will be a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse. This eclipse will be seen in East Europe, Pacific Ocean, and the Americas. On Jul 7, 2009 there will be a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse. This eclipse will be seen in Australia, Pacific Ocean, and the Americas. On Jul 22, 2009 there will be a Total Solar Eclipse. This eclipse will be seen in East Asia, Pacific Ocean, and Hawaii. On Aug 6, 2009 there will be a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse. This eclipse will be seen in West Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas. On Dec 31, 2009 there will be a Partial Lunar Eclipse. This eclipse will be seen in Africa, Australia, Europe, and Asia. I give most the credit to nasa.gov. My information was from that website.
A solar eclipse at night is not possible.
True.
No. A total solar eclipse can only be seen in a relatively small area. A partial eclipse may be seen in a much larger but still limited area.
A solar eclipse can only occur at the time of New Moon. When it happens, it can only be seen by people in places where it is daytime at the moment. A lunar eclipse can only occur at the time of Full Moon. When it happens, it can only be seen by people in places where it is night-time.
I've heard many, I've been told that being born on a lunar eclipse can result in you going crazy if you ever 'see' another, I was born on a lunar eclipse and I've seen plenty. People just say things, a myth is all it is.
A lunar eclipse does not occur when the sun is out. A lunar eclipse can only be seen at night.
I believe it is because of the technology we have this day and age. It's because a lunar eclipse can be seen from half the Earth, while a solar eclipse only occurs along a relatively narrow track on the Earth's surface. The Moon is too small to eclipse the whole Earth all at once, so although there are as many solar eclipses as lunar, fewer people get to see each one.
