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.

Is it true the world will die in 1012 from a solar eclipse?

No, that claim is not true. Solar eclipses do not have the power to cause the world to die. Solar eclipses are natural phenomena that occur when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun. They are not a threat to the existence of the world.


What needs to be true about the orbit of the moon and earth for a solar eclipse to occur?

For a solar eclipse to occur, the Moon must be positioned directly between the Earth and the Sun, aligning in a straight line. This alignment typically happens during a new moon phase when the Moon is closest to the ecliptic plane. Additionally, the Moon's orbit should be such that it crosses the Earth's orbital path at the right time, allowing the shadow of the Moon to fall on the Earth.


Is it true that soul switch in the middle on a solar eclipse?

No, there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that souls switch during a solar eclipse. Solar eclipses are natural astronomical events caused by the moon blocking the sun, and they do not have any impact on the transference of souls.


What needs to be true about the orbits of the moon and earth for a solar eclipse to occur?

For a solar eclipse to occur, the Moon must be positioned directly between the Earth and the Sun, aligning in a straight line. This alignment happens during the New Moon phase when the Moon is closest to the ecliptic plane, which is the path the Sun appears to take across the sky. Additionally, the Moon's orbit should be at a point where it is not too far from Earth, allowing it to completely or partially cover the Sun's disk.


What also must be true in order for you to observe a total solar eclipse?

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.
