Can you take pictures of Solar Eclipse?
Question by : Can you take pictures of Solar Eclipse?
Can you take pictures of Solar Eclipse? The one tonight? will it hurt your camera?
By camera I mean a DSLR
Best answer:
Answer by RemyYour camera isn't an eyeball so there's nothing to scar. The reason you shouldn't look directly at an eclipse is the same reason you shouldn't look directly at the sun. It's bad for your eyes. An eclipse is especially dangerous because the darkness fools your eyes into opening the irises wider and letting more light in when in fact the strength of the light is undiminished.

Does the Moon "Eclipse" Your Sun?

Does the Moon "Eclipse" Your Sun?
Even though the Moon revolves around the Earth, we would be remiss to consider it dispensable. Our planet's evolution, geology and tidal rhythms have been greatly influenced by the Moon's orbit. In the beginning of human cultures, the moon was deified and used to clock time. Today we have countless songs, poems and writings celebrating the magnetic attraction of the moon.In astrology, the "emotional body" within you is the realm of the Moon sign. If you're comfortable expressing your emotions, then you probably have no conflicts with how you see yourself as opposed to how you feel. Ideally your Moon sign is supported by the other planets in a harmonious configuration. This symbolizes that you got what you needed as a child to give you confidence and inner security.But for many people, the Moon at birth may have been shadowed by strong planetary energy that colors its innate nurturing capacity. Mars may show an angry or aggressive mother, Saturn a mother who was depressed or unavailable due to other responsibilities. Depending on the nature of the child, this may have different outcomes. The Sun Sign shows the life-force, will and spirit. If this is strong in spite of a challenged Moon, a person can meet the task and not feel swept under by emotions.Moon signs and their planetary configurations may vary wildly among siblings, indicating sometimes changes in the mother's situation. Then again, the difference may simply mean the children came into the world with disparate needs.The Moon in the horoscope shows habits, reactions, memories and possibly addictions which may derail someone from fulfilling their Life's Purpose. It is essential to understand your emotional undercurrent, especially if you have a challenged Moon Sign. Astrology can be very useful in giving you an understanding of your emotional landscape and how to marry it with different parts of yourself.© copyright 2009 Pamela Cucinell All rights reserved.

The Moon is the Earth's natural satellite. It orbits the Earth on a regular basis, much the same as the Earth orbits the Sun. The orbit of the Moon around the Earth creates several interesting conditions and in fact can greatly influence the Earth and everyone on it.The Moon orbits the Earth with a synchronous rotation. This means that nearly the same face of the Moon is faced towards the Earth at all times. In fact, only 59% of the face of the Moon can ever be observed from Earth. As the moon rotates, it also completes its orbit.The Moon completes one orbit of the Earth in 27.3 days, but because during this time, the Earth is also moving, a full lunar cycle is 29.5 days. These lunar cycles are responsible for the phases of the moon. The lunar cycle begins with the new moon. The new moon is when the moon first appears as a small sliver. Some cultures and even some calendars will use this new moon as the basis for the beginning of a new month.Over the course of the next 14 or so days, the lighted face of the moon will continue to become larger and larger. During this process, the moon cycle is called waxing gibbous. After 1 week, it will resemble a half moon and after the approximately 14 days, it will resemble a full Moon. Over the course of the next 14 or so days, the lighted face of the moon will decrease. This is the waning gibbous cycle. At the end of 7 days, it will be half a moon and by the end of 14 days, the lighted area will disappear and the cycle will begin again.This cycle brings up the first of the orbital effects of the moon on society and culture. The 29.5 day moon cycle corresponds to 1 month. The 12 cycles per year corresponds to the 12 months of the year. The approximately 7 days from each half of the moon corresponds to 1 week. Further more, this cycle of the Moon also corresponds to the menstrual cycle of many women.The moon's synchronous rotation as it orbits the Earth also causes the tides. As the moon orbits the Earth, the gravitational pull of the Moon is causing water to bulge towards it, causes a tide. This similar force will exist on the far side of the Earth as well, hence there are two tide cycles every day.The Moon's orbit causes eclipses to occur as well. There are two kinds of eclipses, the solar eclipse and the lunar eclipse. The lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is between the sun and the moon. The lunar eclipse is unique in that we are able to view the shadow of the Earth being cast on the
Q&A: can I take a photo of the solar eclipse without damaging my camera?
by zoe J
Question by : can I take a photo of the solar eclipse without damaging my camera?
I don't have a solar filter. I know that I can't look directly at the sun but if I wait until the actual eclipse, can I at least attempt to photograph it? Or am I going to damage the camera? I wasn't able to get a welders mask or anything, all hardware stores sold out like two weeks ago.
Best answer:
Answer by jeannieWhere are you? If you're in the path of totality, you should not shoot it without a filter for both the camera and a filter for your eyes. You should never look directly at an eclipse. Blindness can result.
I'm in Los Angeles, where it will be partial at sunset. So, I"m wearing my solar glasses, but I'm not filtering the camera. As the fog is coming in, I think the whole thing will be moot anyway.
Good luck, but I think you should wait and prepare for next time.

Relationship Shuffle - Eclipses Spring 2012

Relationship Shuffle - Eclipses Spring 2012
May 20th and June 4th, 2012. It's that time of the year again! Eclipses occur twice a year and usually come in pairs. Our upcoming eclipses, consisting of an annular solar eclipse in Gemini and a partial lunar eclipse in Sagittarius, will be rather mild compared to previous ecliptic events. Eclipses bring changes. Even though our eclipses may be mild, there will be other stellar events, including Venus' retrograde and an outer planet square, that could amplify these changes. Because these eclipses will be occurring during Venus' retrograde, relationships and finances may suffer.Many believe that eclipse energy is 10 times more powerful than a normal full or new moon. Some practitioners of magic set aside eclipse time to cleanse their tools and cast their spells. Full moon lunar eclipses are a very good time for banishing and cleansing away negative energy. New moon solar eclipses can help in manifesting desires. It's an excellent time to ask the universe for what you need.Our eclipse on May 20th will be a New Moon solar eclipse in Gemini, on the cusp between Taurus and Gemini. With Venus turning retrograde in their sign only 5 days earlier, those with dominate Gemini in their charts will probably feel the brunt of this eclipse. There could also be upsets for Pisces with the eclipse squaring off with Neptune. This eclipse will be at 0 degrees 21 minutes, and Gemini's at 0 degrees really love change. In general, our lives could get very scattered around this time. Don't sign any contracts or make any life changing decisions until the effects of this eclipse has passed. Also, avoid euphoric substances, or Neptune may encourage you to "drink yourself into the gutter."The eclipse on June 4th could create even more problems. It will reside at 14 degrees 8 minutes in Sagittarius. Being a lunar eclipse, it will occur when the Moon opposes the Sun, and this opposition will generate a T-square with Mars and Venus. With the Sun and Moon in Gemini and Sagittarius (two signs not known for being faithful), and because Venus will be doing her retrograde thing, this fight with Mars could bring major relationship upsets, especially for Gemini, Virgo, and Sagittarius. We may be tempted to stray from our commitments. For some of us, this will turn out to be a personal test of our willpower (brains versus hormones). For others, we could be dealing with disappointments.How will these eclipses affect you? First off look to see what houses they will occupy in your chart. Then look to see if they will aspect any of your planets or power points. If you have any planets between 28 and 2 degrees in any sign, they will probably be aspected by the solar eclipse on May 20th. If you have any planets between 12 and 16 degrees, they will probably be aspected by the lunar eclipse on June 4th. Also take a look at the number of planets and
