The May 29, 1919 solar eclipse is significant because it provided crucial evidence for Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. During the eclipse, astronomers led by Arthur Eddington observed the bending of starlight around the Sun, confirming Einstein's prediction that massive objects like the Sun can warp spacetime. This observation helped to elevate Einstein's theory from a theoretical construct to a validated scientific framework, fundamentally changing our understanding of gravity and the universe.
No. The next solar eclipse will be a partial solar eclipse on June 1, 2011.
A solar eclipse may be partial, total, or annular.
Eclipses of 2013: --------------------- April 25 - partial lunar eclipse May 10 - annular solar eclipse May 25 - penumbral lunar eclipse October 18 - penumbral lunar eclipse November 3 - hybrid solar eclipse
Yes the solar eclipse will be in ca on Sunday may 20th 2012
There will be an annular/partial solar eclipse on May 20, 2012.
The effects of gravity on light waves were observed, during a solar eclipse, on May 29, 1919. Einstein's prediction was confirmed.

Me, the same
There will be an annular/partial solar eclipse on May 20, 2012.
No, because the solar eclipse will actually happen on sunday may 20th
No. The next solar eclipse to be visible in the USA will be an annular eclipse on May 20, 2012. The next total eclipse visible in the US will be on August 21, 2017.
There have been three or four partial eclipses in each decade, but the last TOTAL solar eclipse visible in Atlanta, GA was on June 24, 1778. The NEXT total solar eclipse visible in Atlanta will be on May 11, 2078.
