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.

∙ 12y agoYes, 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.

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.
