Unless it is at totality, which is a brief period of minutes to seconds, looking at a solar eclipse means looking at the sun. The sun emits very intense light which can cause permanent eye damage. By contrast watching a lunar eclipse merely requires looking at the moon.
Over a period of a number of years, the numbers of both kinds are identical.During the 100 years of the 20th Century, there were 228 solar eclipses and229 lunar ones.But ... when a lunar eclipse does happen, you have a much greater chanceof seeing it than you have of seeing a solar eclipse when it happens.
That's correct. A lunar eclipse can last for several hours, while a solar eclipse typically lasts only a few minutes at any given location. This is because a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon, leading to a longer period of the Moon being in Earth's shadow.
The times of the major phases of the lunar eclipse of November 28, 2012 are: Penumbral Eclipse Begins: 12:14:58 UT Greatest Eclipse:. . . . . . 14:33:00 UT Penumbral Eclipse Ends: . 16:51:02 UT The beginning and end of a penumbral eclipse are not visible to the eye. In fact, no shading can be detected until about 2/3 of the Moon's disk is immersed in the penumbra. This would put the period of eclipse visibility from approximately 14:00 to 15:00 UT. That corresponds to 18:00 to 19:00 in Dubai. The moon, being Full, will rise at sunset, so it may be visible for a short time during this period.
A total solar eclipse occurs for the part of the Earth in the umbra of the moon's shadow. During a total solar eclipse, the Moon completely blocks the Sun, creating a temporary period of darkness on Earth.

Archives of Virology was created in 1975.
The study of viruses and its role in diseases is called virology.
The founder of virology is Sir John Adam Christopher
The Journal of Virology was first published in 1967 by the American Society for Microbiology. It focuses on research related to viruses, viral diseases, and molecular virology.
Virology is the sub-set of microbiology which studies viruses.
