Question by Gibran S: If you were on the Moon, could you see the solar corona during a lunar eclipse?
Best answer:
Answer by half way thereYes if you were on the right side.
Yes you would in spite of the Earth's shadow. You would because the Sun is behind the Earth and you would see the sunlight around the Earth's surface. Don't pay attention to Einstein.

Solar Eclipse
Solar eclipse is a natural phenomenon, as it takes place when moon comes between sun and earth in a straight line. During the eclipse the moon passes over the surface of the earth. As we are at earth and we will be able to see that moon is going to block the light of sun as it totally covers the sun. This can only take place during a new moon, when sun and moon is in conjunction, as seen from earth. This is how solar eclipse takes place.How does it occur?It's a coincidence that the sun's diameter is 400 times larger than that of the moon, and at the same time, it is 400 times as far away. If we look through a filter at the sun, it looks exactly like the moon on a full moon night. When the moon passes in front of the sun, the shadow falls on the earth and it appears to exactly cover the sun's disc. This is what a solar eclipse is a shadow.Types of solar eclipseThere are three types of eclipses that occur and these are total solar eclipse, partial solar eclipse and annual solar eclipse. Total Solar Eclipses occur when the umbra of the Moon's shadow touches a region on the surface of the Earth. Partial Solar Eclipses occur when the penumbra of the Moon's shadow passes over a region on the Earth's surface. Annular Solar Eclipses occur when a region on the Earth's surface is in line with the umbra, but the distances are such that the tip of the umbra does not reach the Earth's surface.Is this wrong to watch solar eclipse?Many people think that to watch a solar eclipse will prove an invitation for misfortunes. Even, solar eclipses have been blamed for war, famine and the deaths of kings but today conditions and results are totally changed. Generally, 2-4 solar eclipses occur every year and also the location of occurrence of solar eclipse is also not specific. In essence, an eclipse is no more evil than the shadow of a tree, or a tall building. The moon just blocks off the light of the sun for a brief, beautiful moment.

Is the Oort-Opik cloud a spherical shell or a banded ring around the Solar System?
by pennstatelive
Question by Golgi Apparatus: Is the Oort-Opik cloud a spherical shell or a banded ring around the Solar System?
According to the Observer book of Space, it is a 'sperical shell' encapsulating the Solar System, replete with '10 trillion comets.'
I always imagined it to be a band, similar to Saturn's rings, aligned with the horizontal placement of the other planets. 10 trillion comets sounds like an exageration, too.
Thoughts?
Best answer:
Answer by eelfinsThe Oort cloud is a spherical shell of comets, extending almost half the way to the nearest star, according to someone I can't remember. The Kuiper belt is a toroid-shaped band of debris just inside the Oort cloud, and starting just outside the orbit of Neptune. Maybe that's what you're thinking of.

(PROPERTY OF USTREAM) The moon will start eating away at the sun's disk around 5 pm ET today — although that's early Monday morning in Asia, where the eclipse begins. A wide swath of the world between south China and the American Midwest will see a partial solar eclipse, due to the moon's position between Earth and sun. And along a roughly 200-mile-wide track, skywatchers can witness a "Ring of Fire," in which just a thin ring of the sun's disk remains uncovered. There'll be no total eclipse this time around, because the moon is too far away in orbit to match the sun's apparent size. Nevertheless, it's a sight not to be missed.

You may have heard about it on the news, or maybe you were flipping through the channels and found an end of the world program on the History channel; maybe you heard about Emmerich's new movie 2012, or maybe you read it in a magazine or newspaper. Wherever you heard it, you may be wondering why the date 2012 keeps coming up.The short answer is that December 21, 2012, is the last date of the Mayan Long Count calendar, after which there is no more information given by the Mayans about subsequent events. It is extrapolated that 2012 will bring so much chaos and devastation that life as we know it will either end or never be the same. It may mean nothing - it may simply be that the count starts all over again for a new cycle. But warnings by the Mayans about sun activity that caused global problems in the past, coupled with any number of other apocalyptic warnings from other sources, make 2012 proponents wary of the future.At the very least, 2012 is said to bring change - according to most predictions, the change will be for the worse, although it will eventually get better. It is hard, however, to think optimistically when you realize just how much worse things will get before they get better. Predictions include solar flares, geomagnetic reversals, volcano eruptions (including supervolcanoes), earthquakes, tsunamis, war, famine, possibly mass extinction, planets or near-earth objects striking or coming near enough to Earth to affect magnetic pull. The end could be natural or supernatural, extraterrestrial or terrestrial, but there is no doubting that all of these are profoundly disquieting to even imagine, much less to live through.The year 2012 will bring us into the age of Aquarius, when the stars and sun are in a certain place in the heavens. In more than one predictive source, this astrological alignment signals a time of turmoil. However, it's also a point of incredible cosmic significance. 2012 will mark the time when the sun eclipses the central plane of the galaxy called the dark rift - in other words, it will eclipse the black hole in the center of the galaxy. Mayans associated the central point of the galaxy with the Tree of Life. It is undeniable that 2012 will be a terrible time, but its intensity will inevitably lead to a time of renewal, when man has to reconsider his place in the world and in the universe. Many 2012 believe that indeterminable good will come out of the indeterminable bad - some believe that we have a dormant trait in our DNA that will return, attuning us to the world around us. Others believe that extraterrestrial or divine interference
When will North America be in the line of totality for a solar eclipse?
Question by No_longer_a_corporate_mom: When will North America be in the line of totality for a solar eclipse?
The lunar eclipse last night was so cool. I found out on NASA's website that a SOLAR eclipse will happen in August of this year, but America won't be in the line of totality, which means for us we won't see a total eclipse of the sun. Asia, China and Russia will be able to see the total eclipse in August. When will the next solar eclipse be where America will be able to see the total eclipse?

Earth in the direction back to the sun will be a shadow, called the shadow. The shadow is divided into two parts, the umbra and penumbra eclipse. Umbra is not subject to too much direct sunlight, but only by part of the penumbra of the direct sun light. The moon around the earth in the process sometimes into the shadow, which produced a lunar eclipse. When the moon entered the umbra at all, total lunar eclipse occurs; but if only part time to enter the umbra, the partial eclipse will occur. Total eclipse of the umbra and the eclipse is partial eclipse.In the total eclipse, the moon is not completely invisible, which is due to sunlight through the Earth's thin atmosphere are refracted into the umbra, projected onto the lunar surface, so to appear before the red on copper. Through the umbra of the moon appears to the path and then the Earth's atmosphere, the luminosity in different total eclipse will be different.Sometimes the moon will not enter into the umbra and penumbra only, which is called a penumbral eclipse. During the penumbral eclipse occurs, the moon will be slightly dimmer, but the limb will not be obscured by the Earth's shadow.In ancient times, people do not know how to eclipse occurs scientific truth, the same as fear eclipses, the eclipse can also live in fear. Some foreign legend, early 16th century, Columbus sailing to South America, Jamaica, and the local indigenous conflict. Columbus and his sailors trapped in a corner, without food and water, the situation is very critical. Understand the point of astronomical knowledge of the Columbus know that this night total lunar eclipse to occur on the indigenous people shouted, "do not take food, the moon will not give you!" At night, Columbus would come true, really there is no moonlight. Upon seeing the indigenous people fear, war and peace quickly and Columbus. Lunar eclipse can be divided into partial eclipse, total eclipse and the penumbral eclipse of three. When the moon eclipses the Ministry only minutes into the Earth's umbra, the partial eclipse occurs; when the diameter of the Earth's umbra is still equivalent to 2.5 times the moon. So when the center of the Earth and the Moon approximately in the same line, the moon will be completely into Earth's umbra, and the resulting total eclipse. And if the moon is always only partially cover the Earth umbra, that is only part of the Earth's umbra, the partial eclipse occurs. On the moon does not appear on the annular eclipse. Because the moon's small size of the Earth than the Earth's umbra area, so it will not appear on a monthly loss of this phenomenon. During a lunar eclipse every year the number is usually 2 times, up to
