What is the next solar eclipse seen in France going to be?


Question by Evan L: What is the next solar eclipse seen in France going to be?
It's for an idea I'm working on. I know there's one (Total Eclipse) seen in France on November 5, 2059 but what would be the one right behind that? Total or Partial.

So what would be the last solar eclipse seen before the one in 2059?


Thanks!!!

Q&A: What's the difference between solar and lunar eclipses? Land and sea breezes?


Question by Rad R: What's the difference between solar and lunar eclipses? Land and sea breezes?
I lost it in my notes. LOL. Please help me compare the similarities and differences between solar and lunar eclipses and land and sea breezes!
Thanks, peace!

Answer by NogaA solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth so that the Sun is fully or partially covered. This can only happen during a new moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction as seen from the Earth. At least two and up to five solar eclipses can occur each year on Earth, with between zero and two of them being total eclipses.Total solar eclipses are nevertheless rare at any location because during each eclipse totality exists only along a narrow corridor in the relatively tiny area of the Moon's umbra.

A lunar eclipse is an eclipse which occurs whenever the moon passes behind the earth such that the earth blocks the suns rays from striking the moon. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. Hence, there is always a full moon the night of a lunar eclipse. The type and length of an eclipse depend upon the Moon's location relative to its orbital nodes.

Land breeze: At night, the land cools off quicker than the ocean due to differences in their specific heat values, which forces the dying of the daytime sea breeze. If the land cools below that of the adjacent sea surface temperature, the pressure over the water will be lower than that of the land, setting up a land breeze as long as the environmental surface wind pattern is not strong enough to oppose it. If there is sufficient moisture and instability available, the land breeze can cause showers or even thunderstorms, over the water. Overnight thunderstorm development offshore due to the land breeze can be a good predictor for the activity on land the following day, as long as there are no expected changes to the weather pattern over the following 12–24 hours. This is mainly because the strength of the land breeze is weaker than the sea breeze.The land breeze will die once the land warms up again the next morning.


Sea Breeze: (or onshore breeze) is a wind from the sea that develops over land near coasts. It is formed by increasing temperature differences between the land and water which create a pressure minimum over the land due to its relative warmth and forces higher pressure, cooler air from the sea to move inland. Generally, air temperature gets cooler relative to nearby locations as one moves closer to a large body of water.

Who knows the best place to find good time sequenced pics of or suns spectrum?


Question by pimbroke: Who knows the best place to find good time sequenced pics of or suns spectrum?
I want good color shots of solar spectrum as far back as they go. I know someone knows out there.

Answer by Macho McmanlyNot sure what you mean by spectrum. If you want to see the solar spectrum, it's represented by a consistent diagram of absorption lines found here: http://www.noao.edu/image_gallery/html/im0600.html

If you're just looking for a spinning sun in different spectra (which are only "color" shots because they are false colors chosen by scientists), then maybe below is where you should look.

Live, streaming data on the sun in UV is always coming from STEREO: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/stereo/main/index.html
^That mission also has a live app for iPhone that allows you to choose other wavelengths of light as well.

You can backtrack spectral imagery here as well, but it's not as pretty or inclusive:

How to make a shoe-box viewer to safely view the solar eclipse. I added black duct tape to all the taped edges of the box to block any stray light, and black tape next to the eye-hole to reduce the glare to your eye from the Sun shining on the outside of the white box.
