Excellent video, links to sites, where we can view total eclipse www.exploratorium.edu we will not be able see total eclipse in the United States, Asia will have totality. Check out the time conversion link to figure out when you can view the total eclipse from what time zone you are located in. Eclipse time July 22, 2009 2:35 AM Universal Time. I recommend the NASA site for info on the route of the shadow, but for LIVE Views - I just checked the www.live-eclipse.org Is up and running, be it not in English, so what? Maybe catch the local news. Fabulous occurance for the scientist and/or spiritualist! Even if you are both!

How often do Solar Eclipses happen in the Unites States?
Q&A: Is something going to happen between May 20th, 2012 and June 6th or just after?
Question by Michael: Is something going to happen between May 20th, 2012 and June 6th or just after?
I know the solar eclipse is going to happen on may 20 , 2012 but I just saw video saying that theirs going to be a big earthquake and that Nostradamus and Mayans predicted something was going to happen. Is it true what is really going to happen in 2 days I know the solar eclipse but anything else? Should I be worry about? Is the world going to end on December 21, 2012 ? I'm really scare right now
Best answer:
Answer by Vic RattleheadYes, the people that lived 1400 years ago predicted the exact date of the exact natural disaster of something that will happen in a place they didn't even know about at the time using the stars.
...
The Mayan calendar ends December 21, 2012. It's the end of something called the Long Cycle. As soon as it ends, a new one begins. They just didn't record it. It's like the end of the year. The world doesn't end when there are no more days in the year, a new year just starts instead.

if the orbital velocity of an eclipsing binary is 153 km/s and the smaller start becomes completely eclipsed i?
Question by sarah v: if the orbital velocity of an eclipsing binary is 153 km/s and the smaller start becomes completely eclipsed i?
if the orbital velocity of an eclipsing binary is 153 km/s and the smaller star becomes eclipsed in 2.5 hours what is it's diameter?
Best answer:
Answer by Simon van DijkIt is just it takes 2.5 hours = 8000 seconds to eclipse. With 153,000 m/s it travels 1.224.10^9 m.
This could be the diameter of the star. But this implies that the bigger star has a negligible velocity. That is not the case. In a binary the 2 stars must have the same angular velocity: they must be opposite each other relative to the center of gravity. If the heavy star is 10 times heavier than the other one. The center of gravity is at 10 to 1 distance from the big star, so their orbits are 1 to 10 relative, That makes the orbital speed 10 to 1.
So the 1.2 million kilometer (about 90% the size of the sun) is only an estimate.

Can solar eclipses happen on other planets?
Question by rkjles: Can solar eclipses happen on other planets?
Can solar eclipses happen on other planets or can it only happen for earths' moon?
Best answer:
Answer by WSCM16M3Yes, because some other planets have moons too.

More info at gloria-project.eu Here the video of the eclipse youtu.be After more than two years without any total solar eclipses (the last one took place on July 11th, 2010), the Moon's shadow revisits the Earth's surface on 13th November 2012. The journey of the shadow begins in Australia, and then moves out to the Pacific Ocean. The maximum of the eclipse, with a duration of 4 minutes and 2 seconds, occurs in the middle of the Pacific Ocean at 22:11 UT, with the Sun at 68° above the horizon. The GLORIA project has organized an expedition to watch and broadcast live the event.
