Question by a t: Is it possible for there to be a full moon at night then the very next day have a full solar eclipse?
I watched the movie Apocalypto by mel gibson a while back and this happened in the movie. When I was watching it I didn't think this was possible but wasn't sure. There was a full moon at night (while the main character was running from those in pursuit) then the next day after he had been caught there was a full solar eclipse.
Best answer:
Answer by Dr BobNo. A lunar eclipse always occurs at full moon, and a solar eclipse at new moon, so they must be separated by at least about 14 or 15 days.
Sounds like a case of literary (or cinematographic) license.

Your five choices are Mars, Saturn, Europa(one of Jupiter's moons), Pluto and Venus. Please put them in order with your favourite one first. I need reasons for your answers too please.
Best answer:
Answer by arvind pi would move to mars first followed by venus and europa,saturn and finally to pluto, if am that much alive due to its distance, mars is achievable but i dont think i will be alive after reaching jupiter,......it would take years to reach the next planet.

What time can I see the partial eclipse?
Question by MissConfused: What time can I see the partial eclipse?
Yahoo said that the partial lunar eclipse is best seen in the central and western states. I live in Kansas and would like to see it, but it said at 6:17 a.m. EDT and I go by CDT time. So what time should I be able to see the partial eclipse?
Best answer:
Answer by StarryskyThat is the end of the eclipse. Most shadow is 4:38 AM PDT, which is 6:38 CDT, which is a bit after the moon sets in Kansas.

While not a full or even annular eclipse here in Santa Clarita, California, there were still some interesting views to be seen. Four different cameras were used, each running in timelapse mode... In the first several sequences we see intense orange images filmed with a Canon SX10-is, using its full optical zoom of 20x, which equates to about 560mm (35mm equiv.), and a disc cut from an old arc welding mask as a filter. Three large sunspots can be clearly seen in the sun's orb, as the moon takes a slow, ever increasing bite out of the solar disc. As the eclipse ends just before sunset, the sun darkens and then finally sets behind a very distant mountain range. Digital panning across the large image frame and wind buffeting the camera makes for some interesting "action" in these sequences... Next, (at 1:15 ) we see the sun's glare in a blue sky as the Canon 5D mk2 records the change in daylight level using fixed ISO, shutter and aperture. This sequence was filmed using a 17mm wide angle lens and Fotasy wide-band ND filter, set fairly low (perhaps 10-20) in its setting range, and includes the 1st half of the eclipse, from start to peak. An eclipse-shaped lens flare (an internal reflection of light between the glass lens elements) appears at 1:28 At 1:31 the view switches over to a GoPro Hero2, which recorded the entire event from start to sunset at 10-second intervals. Its automatic exposure compensated for the change in light level, but still managed another interesting view ...
