Question by Dogz_Luver: Where can you see a partial eclipse?
If one person is in California and the other is in New Jersey, will they theoretically both be able to see a partial/annular eclipse? If you just answer the question, that's awesome, but if you have any web sites that were sources can you link to them?
Best answer:
Answer by GeoffGAny lunar eclipse is visible over about half the Earth. Partial solar eclipses are also visible over a large area. The solar eclipse in 2017 should be visible as a partial eclipse in both California and New Jersey, but when an eclipse is that close, it's worth driving to the path of totality to see it as a total eclipse. That's certainly what I plan to do. A total eclipse is just SO much better than a partial eclipse!

May 20, 2012, Annular Solar Eclipse: how it will look from San Diego. Never Look at the Sun without appropriate eye protection!!!! It begins at around 5:28p, reaches maximum at around 6:45p and ends at sunset. Annular means that the moon is near a far point in it's orbit, so that at its maximum coverage (in Northern California) a "ring of sun" will be visible around the moon. Here in San Diego, it misses to the side. Still a pretty good time!
