Question by : Why is the eclipse on May 20, 2012 not on any website or before 1 week ago?
I have looked all over the internet looking for any kind of mention of the solar eclipse that is scheduled to happen on May 20, 2012. I have gone to sites that mathematically calculate solar eclipse cycles, but there is no mention of May 20, 2012. As far as i can tell there wasn't supposed to be another solar eclipse until 2014.
Best answer:
Answer by StephenThis is an annular eclipse, where the Sun will show around the edges of the moon along the centroid of the eclipse. This has been on many sites for a long time, as have the other Solar eclipses of 2012 and 2013. I don't know where you got the idea that there were no more until 2014. See, for example, http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/solar.html.
What do you think? Answer below!
Lunar cycle showing the inclination of the earth and moon. Cycle begins on the date of 2010/01/04 solar eclipse in Europe
