Question by moscow bergen: What does this technical term, gamma, mean in solar eclipses?
I am an amateur star gazer especially obsessed by solar and lunar eclipses since my childhood, and just live, by chance, in a city within the band area from where the next annular eclipse in 20/May can be observed.
I have visited NASA eclipse website in order to check the latest information or enjoy reading articles about past or future eclipses.
I am wondering what the numbers expressed as "gamma" in their eclipse tables or charts mean. It is very hard for me to understand.
As for now I guess it perhaps expresses the relationship between the center of the earth and a hypothetical axis which imaginatively penetrates the center of the sun and that of the moon, or the relative positions of those three heavenly bodies, considering the facts such as:
1) the gamma of "one of the biggest total solar eclipses" that occurred in July 1991 being very small; minus 0.0041,
2) and the gamma of any of "pure" partial eclipses -without totality or annularity at any points on the earth-, possibly observed only from each of the polar regions, being relatively large; around 1.2 or so.
Then, my questions are:
1) What is gamma?
2) Is it possible for gamma to be exact zero?
3) If gamma is exact one, what does it mean?
4) What is the maximum gamma thinkable?
5) Gamma is sometimes negative number, while it is positive in other cases. Does this relate to whether the intersection of the sun and the moon is at the ascending node or at the descending node?
Is there anybody who explains these for me?
Best answer:
Answer by oklatonola"...Gamma is the parameter that gives the minimum distance (in Earth radii) of the shadow axis from the center of Earth during each eclipse. Gamma is positive or negative depending on whether the shadow axis passes north or south of Earth's center. Looking at any of the Saros catalogs (e.g., Saros 145) one can see how the value of gamma changes with each eclipse in a series. When gamma reaches its minimum (absolute) value, the series is then at its peak. In the case of Saros 145, the peak occurs with the eclipse of 2342 Mar 08 (gamma=0.008).
Since there are two to five solar eclipses every year, there are approximately forty different Saros series in progress at any one time. For instance, during the later half of the twentieth century, there are 41 individual series and 26 of them are producing central eclipses. As old series terminate, new ones are beginning and take their places. ..."

A "ring of fire" solar eclipse is coming to the USA this spring. It's the first annular eclipse visible from the contiguous United States in almost 18 years. More information here: eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov

Question by Sorcha: Effects of a Solar Eclipse on your Midheaven & Lunar Return
This past solar eclipse on August 2, 2008 occurred at the same degree as my natal chart's Midheaven-- 9 degrees Leo. It also was only a few degrees off of my Lunar return at 2 degrees Leo. The lunar return even happened to be in the same phase as my natal moon--New moon.
What affects do you think this would have on a person's life?
TYPO: Hopefully people can get over it and look at all of the over more pertinent details.

The Astrological Forecast for June Includes a Solar and Lunar Eclipse and the Summer Solstice 2011
by NASA Goddard Photo and Video
The Astrological Forecast for June Includes a Solar and Lunar Eclipse and the Summer Solstice 2011
Today you will find me rumbling my way through lots of different ideas and subjects in alignment with the Gemini spirit. With the longest day of the year and the shortest night in the Northern hemisphere mid summer is upon us once again marked by the summer solstice.
Dancing around bonfires, celebrations of the communion between heaven and earth have been honored by many cultures especially by the pagan, Celtic or druid traditions. Even nowadays it is a special day to celebrate and many people are coming together at sacred spots around the world like Stonehenge and Avebury. Midsummer is thought of as a time of magic when the forces of the light are at their strongest.
As you can tell there is a lot going on in the heavens and accordingly in your life. There are always special times in your life when you reach a threshold of consciousness and things just don't work the old way any more. You have to decide if you want to move forward into a new direction or sit down on your path and try to avoid life which never works very well. The only thing we know for sure is that life is impermanent and in constant flux and motion. If we stop growing we start dying, it is as simple as that. With astrology we can see those special times coming and act according to the flow of life.One of those special times of new Beginnings are the Solar and Lunar Eclipses.
This month starts off with a Solar Eclipse on June 1 in Gemini and five planets and the South Node are moving on into Gemini. We will be talking about Gemini, lots of Gemini …talking a lot and then some more, going here and there to give you the taste of this versatile, vocal sign.A Solar Eclipse in Gemini
Whenever we see an accumulation of planets in one sign, also called stellium, you know to pay good attention to the subject. What has Gemini to offer to you?
First of all Gemini is the most mentally oriented air sign ruled by Mercury. With a Solar Eclipse in Gemini a new way of thinking and communicating with each other is emerging in our consciousness. As you can tell tremendous changes in the way we connect have evolved.
For example not many people write letters anymore. Why would you if you can email somebody in a heart beat and have a response immediately for free? Now the new trend is sending SMS, twitter or to write on Facebook because you can do it from you mobile phone while waiting in a doctor's office or riding in the bus.Some Thoughts About the Electronic Age
Nowadays everybody seems to be on the phone with some kind of electronic activity. I am curious do you still read books? How much time of your day do you spend

2009 Moons, Eclipses, and Mercury Retrogrades
by thierry_andriamirado
2009 Moons, Eclipses, and Mercury Retrogrades
Astrology and Mercury-RetrogradeDuring 2009, there are four retrograde periods that encourage us to change our thinking processes, refocus, and seek others along similar paths. This is a time to assess our careers, finances, and health. There's no coincidence that world affairs (and the state of the economy) align with these issues.This is not a time to react, but to be proactive; thus new and creative ideas are called for (and will also surface).Mercury Retrograde provides us with the opportunity to adjust our thoughts, attitudes, and communication. When the planet Mercury travels in retrograde motion, there is a higher probability of delays, communication problems, and issues mentioned below. During retrograde, mistakes are likely. Use this time to complete unfinished business and explore your personal perceptions.The outer world (communication) can suffer during this time requiring one to pay extra attention to communicating clearly with others. Mail can move more slowly or be lost; appointments are missed; and, misunderstandings are more common. Perform full system back-ups and anticipate technology breakdowns. In addition to backing up your important files, upgrade virus-protection software.Before the retrograde is upon you, ensure your vehicle's oil is taken care of, tires are in good working order, or take the vehicle in for a tune-up. Regarding travel arrangements -- validate then reconfirm.Use the retrograde period to re-establish communication with former contacts; plan and prioritize projects; recycle; or detoxify. Avoid initiating new projects, surgery, grand openings, major purchases, or signing contracts while Mercury is retrograde. Past acquaintances are likely to turn up at this time - so don't be surprised.Go easy on yourself because breakdowns are likely. Schedule half of what you normally do to allow for delays. Use extra time to catch up but allow enough time to fix mistakes that surface so you don't have to rearrange your schedule. Utilize this time to tweak, edit, reevaluate, rework, or repair whatever you've been procrastinating.If you have clients or patients who cancel or reschedule, look inside (you or your processes) and consider one of the following as a lesson from this experience:
o Your schedule is too full and you need time to complete or address something.
o Someone needs your attention. Let the Universe know you have availability and the person in need will surface.Mercury-retrograde periods for 2009 are:January 11 - February 1
May 7 - 30
September 7 - 29
December 26 - January 15, 2010Retrograde energy is felt a couple weeks prior to and following actual retrograde periods. Again, be proactive and enjoy the ride. When things return to normal, resolve any issues and focus on moving forward.Planetary Eclipses -- Lunar (LE) and Solar (SE)Eclipses tend to signal significant change and new information. They can sometimes signal a stressful time, mainly due to the shift in circumstances that may occur. Try to avoid making important decisions during an eclipse as the energy around you will tend to be unsettled and changeable.Solar eclipses (SE) are closely associated with new beginnings and their effects can last up to one

Answer by Toonceshttp://www.mreclipse.com/Special/SEprimer.html
What do you think? Answer below!
tinyurl.com - Download free mp3, music, internet radio win an ipod touch, sony WA-1 Total Solar Eclipse-the longest in 2009:Millions of people in Asia will see the longest total solar eclipse this century on Wednesday as swaths of India and China are plunged into darkness. Scores of amateur stargazers and scientists will travel long distances for the eclipse, which will last for about five minutes. The eclipse will first appear in the Gulf of Khambhat just north of Mumbai. It will move east across India, Nepal, Burma, Bangladesh, Bhutan and China before hitting the Pacific. The eclipse will cross some southern Japanese islands and will last be visible from land at Nikumaroro Island in the South Pacific nation of Kiribati. Elsewhere, a partial eclipse will be visible across much of Asia. The previous total eclipse, in August 2008, lasted two minutes and 27 seconds. This one will last six minutes and 39 seconds at its maximum point. Alphonse Sterling, a Nasa astrophysicist who will be following the eclipse from China, scientists are hoping data from the eclipse will help explain solar flares and other structures of the sun and why they erupt. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth so that the Sun is fully or partially covered. This can only happen during a new moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction as seen from the Earth. At least two and up to five solar eclipses can occur each year on Earth, with between zero and two of them ...

Solar Eclipse - Busting the Superstitions & Myths

Solar Eclipse - Busting the Superstitions & Myths
Solar eclipse is a spectacular celestial phenomenon and it occurs when the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth so that the former is partially or fully covered. Although it's a natural event strongly supported with scientific explanations, people all over the world cutting across all religious lines blindly practice rituals which can be simply termed as superstitions. In fact, solar eclipse is an event to remember, a life time experience that helps us to imagine beyond our planet.There are 'n' number of superstitions surrounding the celestial event and in order to ward-off the associated fears and myths we need to understand one thing, why such a hype? The answer is simple - solar eclipse is not a new event and is occurring since the time immemorial. If we go back in the history, say about just 500 years, we see that science was not so much advanced and people were quite irrational. Even for small things they used to refer holy books, consult so called wise-men and then make a decision. For them, solar eclipse was something beyond explanation and therefore they have to believe in the superstitions like, victory of dark over light i.e. bad over good.But this kind of thinking in today's world is not at all acceptable. Though solar eclipse can be harmful if proper care is not taken to view it, it is has no ill-effects as has been described by people believing in illogical things. If the person does not take care while viewing the solar eclipse, he may end up losing his eye sight with permanently damaged retina. So, here's the list of do's and don'ts:1. Never view a solar eclipse with your naked eyes while it is in progress. Always use proper solar filters. Although, a total solar eclipse can be viewed without any safety gear, it is just for few minutes and as the sun starts to reappear, the eyes become vulnerable.2. Never use even the best available sunglasses to witness the event as they are not capable of protecting the eyes from the intense glare of sun.3. Don't use a low quality, thin or spurious filter or film as they stand no chance to prevent the sun-rays from damaging your eyes.4. Binoculars or telescopes can be used but make sure they have the solar filters fitted in.Now few things about the superstitions and myths:1. Some people believe that food should not be cooked and eaten during this period. Don't follow this illogical advice and do eat your meals at proper time. Few people assert that due to absence of sunlight, germs get accumulated on food and that's why it is not healthy. So what do these people do during rainy or winter season when sun is rarely visible?2. Another popular myth is that pregnant women should not step out of the house as their womb may get damaged. This is completely false as researches have shown that solar
