When is the eclipse movie premiere in London?

There was a partial solar eclipse on 2008-Aug-01, but you probably didn't notice. The last total solar eclipse was 1715-May-03. King George I probably enjoyed the show. There are generally two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. About half of those are partial. Total lunar eclipses seem to be more frequent, because it is visible from the entire dark side of the Earth, while solar eclipses cover a very narrow path across the Earth. The last total LUNAR eclipse in London (and western Europe and most of North America) was on February 21, 2008.

Solar eclipse Eclipses recorded made in china are 4,000 years old. Researches have showed that solar eclipses had been depicted in the mythology of Egypt. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun and the shadow stays on earth. in China they bang drums and make loud noise during eclipses to stop the Chinese dragon from eating the sun away. Even in the nineteenth century, the Chinese fired its cannons during an eclipse to scare the dragon from eating the Moon. The first solar eclipse was seen on May 28, 585 BC near the Halys River in Turkey. Soldiers of the Medians and Lydians were the first people to see it, which caused their war to stop. the longest solar eclipse was 6 and a half minutes long in india, butan, nepal, bangledesh,china,japan a and the marshall islands. A solar eclipse can only happen when the new moon begins. the moon and the earth are moving around the sun. The moon comes in front of the earth to form a solar eclipse. A solar eclipse makes one part of the earth dark. They only happen on the bright side of the earth, the side facing the sun. no one knows how many years there are between each solar eclipse

What can make the moon look completely dark as seen from earth?

The moon can appear completely dark from Earth during a total lunar eclipse. This phenomenon occurs when the Earth passes directly between the sun and the moon, blocking sunlight from reaching the moon's surface. During this event, the moon can take on a reddish hue due to the Earth's atmosphere filtering and bending some sunlight into the shadow. However, when fully eclipsed, it can seem to vanish entirely from view.
