When the eclipse crosses the International Date Line, the local date becomes May 20. The eclipse then enters the California/Oregon border, passes in the late afternoon over Nevada, Utah, Arizona, a corner of Colorado, New Mexico, and ends at sunset in Texas. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent disk is just smaller than the Sun's disk and the Sun appears as a brilliant ring. This spectacular sight can only be safely observed with approved solar filters or by projecting an image of the eclipsed Sun onto a flat white surface.

Question by J: What does a total solar eclipse symobolise?
There's one coming up in november, and apparently the earth and solar system will be aligned with the centre of the galaxy for the first time in over 26,000 years. What is the deeper meaning of it all, for us as people on this earth?


Best answer:
Answer by Donut TimA total solar eclipse is not a symbol. It is an actual event.
It is not related to the center of the galaxy, it has no meaning and it occurs on average 1 to 2 times a year.

Why is it bad to look at a solar eclipse?


Question by Kyle: Why is it bad to look at a solar eclipse?
If a solar eclipse is when the moon comes between the sun and earth, why is it still bad to look at with the naked eye? Wouldn't it protect your eyes from solar rays and radiation, etc? Please explain.


Best answer:
Answer by ChartlesBecause you have to stare at the sun. Which is bad. The moon will protect you from some of the damage, but it will not protect from all of it.

When the next solar eclipse happens, does the Philippines stand a chance to experience it?


Question by Yanka: When the next solar eclipse happens, does the Philippines stand a chance to experience it?
It states in MrEclipse.com that the next solar eclipse will happen on August 1, 2008. It would start in Canada and leave in China. Do you think the Philippines (where I am staying now) will have a chance to be able to get "blocked"?


Best answer:
Answer by YaybobYou will see at most a partial eclipse, maybe less. There is a map at http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/OH/OHfigures/OH2008-Fig03.pdf that shows the Philippines on the line between seeing it and not.

This map http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/SEmono/TSE2008/TSE2008iau/TSE2008-fig08.GIF suggests that you may not see much
