Question by javiesau: How did thales of milete predict upcoming eclipses?
If you don't know the way he did that, at least would explain me another method that ancient astronomers used to do such activity.
Best answer:
Answer by bikenbeer2000There is a cycle known as the Saros, which is the recurrence of similar eclipses after a period of 18 years and 10 or 11 days. If an eclipse occurs, it's possible to say. with a fair degree of certainty, that another will take place after this period, although the area of visibility moves westwards, so successive eclipses are not generally visible from the same location. The eclipse which Thales predicted is thought to be that of 28th May 585 BCE. The eclipse preceding that date by one Saros period was the eclipse of 18th May 603 BCE. Both these eclipses were visible from Thales' location in the eastern Mediterranean.

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." ― Ralph Waldo Emerson 2012 is moving pretty quickly! I wanted to take the opportunity to update you on the Astrology of 2012 and the upcoming Venus Occultation of the Sun amongst other important transits such as the eclipses in Gemini/Sagittarius. The 'truth' is coming out and once the cat is out of the bag, there's no putting it back in! The most important advice to take from this video is that, in the end, only YOU have the power to decide what is 'truth' for you no matter how much you have given your power to outside authorities in the past. Choose YOU wisely ;)! Also, have a look at my video from October 2011 regarding the occupy movement and the connection to the sinking of the 'Titanic'.

Q&A: How did thales of milete predict upcoming eclipses?
Western America Natural Wonders
Western America Natural Wonders
Western America will momentarily fall into darkness on the 20th May 2012, when it experiences an annular eclipse. The eclipse which will sweep across East Asia, over the Northern Pacific Ocean and then into the South Western United States will occur when the moon travels across the front of the sun and gives the impression of a ring of sunlight around the solar disc. For a chance to see this rare annular eclipse take advantage of the many bargain holidays to America as it will not be visible from the UK.Western America Natural WondersYosemite National Park - America's first national park
The Yosemite National Park stretches across the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountain chain, covering an area of more than 750,000 acres. Most of the park is a designated wilderness with amazing granite cliffs, streams, waterfalls and giant sequoia groves. Designated a World Heritage Site in 1984, most visitors spend their time at the park in the Yosemite Valley which covers seven square miles of the park. The park has five vegetation zones - lower montane, upper montane, chaparral and oak woodland, alpine and sub-alpine.Grand Canyon - Natural wonder of the world
Stretching for 277 miles the Grand Canyon is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in Arizona. This natural wonder often reaches widths of 18 miles at a depth of over a mile. The area was originally inhabited by Native Americans who lived in caves and settlements built in the canyon. The Grand Canyon became a protected Forest Reserve in 1893 and later became a National Park in 1919, three years after the creation of the National Park Service. Visiting the Grand Canyon West Rim is a great opportunity to walk along the 'Grand Canyon Skywalk' 4,000 feet above the ground and look down through 2.5 inches of glass to the canyon below, take a white rafting tour and watch traditional performances by Hualapai tribe people. For a more vertical perspective an ideal way to see the canyon is by helicopter.Zion National Park - Mormon's 'promised land'
Surrounded by towering cliffs, the Zion National Park is located in Springdale Utah. A major feature of the park is Zion Canyon which cuts through the Vavajo Sandstone at depths of up to half a mile and stretches for 15 miles. The park has four life zones - desert, riparian, woodland and coniferous forest which are home to many species of plant, birds, mammals and reptiles. Originally inhabited by an agricultural community, the park now welcomes visitors to share its mountains, canyons, rivers and facilities like climbing, hiking, canyoneering, cycling and horse riding.Bryce Canyon National Park - Incredible rock formations of Utah
Designated a National Park in 1928, Bryce Canyon covers 56 square miles in south-western Utah. The canyon itself is in fact a giant natural amphitheatre which was formed by the erosion of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Visitors will be amazed by the geological structures (hoodoos) formed by wind, rain and ice erosion of the river and lake bed

Answer by Kay TThese are the most recent eclipses we have had.
Last total Lunar eclipse February 21, 2008 - is eclipse was perfectly placed for observers throughout most of the Americas as well as western Europe.
Last total Solar eclipse August 1, 2008 - On Friday, 2008 August 01, a total eclipse of the Sun was visible from within a narrow corridor that traversed half the Earth. The path of the Moon's umbral shadow began in Canada and extended across northern Greenland, the Arctic, central Russia, Mongolia, and China. A partial eclipse was seen within the much broader path of the Moon's penumbral shadow, which includes northeastern North America, most of Europe and Asia.
Partial Lunar eclipse August 16, 2008 - It was visibile primarily from the Eastern Hemisphere as well as eastern South America.
Annular Solar Eclipse January 26, 2009 - An annular eclipse was visible from a wide track that traversed the Indian Ocean and western Indonesia. A partial eclipse was seen within the much larger path of the Moon's penumbral shadow, which included the southern third of Africa, Madagascar, Australia except Tasmania, southeast India, Southeast Asia and Indonesia.
Penumbral Lunar eclipse February 9, 2009 - Observers in western Canada and the USA had the best views with moonset occurring sometime after mid-eclipse. To catch the entire event, one had to be in Alaska, Hawaii, Australia, or East Asia.
