Question by Eric: Has there ever been a total solar eclipse and total lunar eclipse in the same lunar revolution?
I know the moon is inclined about 16 degrees, but I imagine this is possible since the sun's inclination is greater than that.
Best answer:
Answer by ArkaliusThe moon's ecliptic inclination is only about 5.1 degrees. It's equatorial inclination varies over the course of just over 18 years from 18.3 degrees to 28.6 degrees and back again, due to the precession of it's nodes.
In the epoch of human existence, a total lunar and total solar eclipse occurring in the same lunation would be impossible and has not happened. In the distant past, when the moon was closer, and therefore appeared larger, it is likely that it was able to create both total solar and lunar eclipses in the same lunation.

Has there ever been a total solar eclipse and total lunar eclipse in the same lunar revolution?
What time will the Solar Eclipse happen today?
Question by Super: What time will the Solar Eclipse happen today?
Okay, so there is going to be an Annular eclipse today, which it is an eclipse of the sun, in which the edge of the sun remains visible as a bright ring around the moon. Anyway, all I am asking is: what time will the eclipse happen?
Best answer:
Answer by Box Of WineWe know what an annular eclipse is, but thanks for the explanation. The eclipse will be going on at sunset. The farther east you are, the less you will see. Everyone on the east coast will miss it entirely.

A total solar eclipse plunged northern Queensland into darkness for two minutes, delighting crowds packed on the beach in Cairns. Australians donned protective glasses as the clouds parted to allow them to witness one of nature's greatest phenomena -- a total eclipse of the sun. All eyes and cameras turned to the heavens over tropical north Queensland as the moon began moving between the Earth and the sun, like a small bite which gradually increases in size. Cloud cover threatened to spoil the party and huge cheers erupted when they parted to give tens of thousands of eclipse hunters a perfect view of totality -- when the moon completely covers the sun and a faint halo or corona appears. The path of the eclipse got under way shortly after daybreak when the moon's shadow, or umbra, fell in the Garig Gunak Barlu National Park in the Northern Territory, about 155 miles east of Darwin. The umbra then moved eastward before alighting in north Queensland -- one of the few places it could be viewed by humans and where tourists and scientists flocked to witness the region's first total solar eclipse in 1300 years.

How are small images of the sun in partial eclipse,seen under the shades of tree during solar eclipse?
Question by Mahesh: How are small images of the sun in partial eclipse,seen under the shades of tree during solar eclipse?
Prior to the total solar eclipse, you may be able to look at the shadow thrown by a tree onto the ground. Often thousands of small images of the sun in partial eclipse will be visible. How does this happen? Does this phenomena have any thing to do with the term,'Fraunhoffer Diffraction?
Best answer:
Answer by Roger KDon't know if it is related to Fraunhoffer Diffraction, but each opening between the leaves through which the sun shines acts like a pinhole camera to project the image of the eclipsed sun on the ground.
