Question by romaniascott: Where and when will the next solor eclispe take place?
I want to know your ideology behind this great event. Or just tell me you don't care.
Best answer:
Answer by Ann OThere will be 2 partial eclipses in 2007 and an annular eclipse in early 2008.
* Partial Solar Eclipse of 2007 March 19
* Partial Solar Eclipse of 2007 September 1
* Annular Solar Eclipse of 2008 February 7
The next three total solar eclipses are:
* Total Solar Eclipse of 2008 August 01
* Total Solar Eclipse of 2009 July 22
* Total Solar Eclipse of 2010 July 11
The NASA link (below) has details on where these can be seen; the first from far northern Europe, Greenland and far-northern Canada, the second over the Pacific and southeast Asia, and the third almost entirely over the far-southern waters of the Pacific, marginally visible from the tip of South America.
I think eclipses are cool, but I have no particular ideology related to eclipses or other planetary or stellar phenomena, except to the extent that such events serve as reminders of how small and fragile our world is in a universe filled with wonders.

The Annular Solar Eclipse of 2010 was the longest solar eclipse in over a 1000 years with the annularity lasting over 10min 32sec at the point of GE in the Indian Ocean south west of Kanyakumari. At 20km from Rameswaram, an Island off the south coast of India, the magnitude recorded was 0.962 and the annularity lasted for 9min 18sec.

Q&A: Why is it bad to stare at a solar eclipse?
Question by xcloudxstrifex: Why is it bad to stare at a solar eclipse?
North America's next solar eclipse is in 2017, I want to watch it. But why do I need to put on dimming glasses? Isn't the sunlight being blocked out by the moon enough to not do any harm?

Answer by J. Frost"Isn't the sunlight being blocked out by the moon enough to not do any harm?"
No, theres still enough light to damage your eyes. Not so-much when the moon completely obscures the sun, but in the transition phases, where the sun is only partially covered. Its easy to not notice the damage being done.

At sunrise in some parts of China and by sunset in the western North America, a partial solar eclipse is set to slink across the Earth on May 20 and 21. Depending on where people are in the eclipse's path, some may be able to witness an annular eclipse in which the moon blocks out all but a ring of the Sun's light. Others will see the Sun as a crescent, partially obscured by the moon, for a period of around four to five minutes. "The desert areas of Nevada, southern Utah and northern Arizona may be the best (for viewing) if they have the greatest chance of clear skies and the eclipse takes place low in the sky over a dramatic landscape," said Alan MacRobert, editor of Sky and Telescope magazine. According to NASA, a partial eclipse will be seen within a much broader path of the moon's penumbral shadow, including much of Asia, the Pacific and the western two-thirds of North America. In BC, a parital solar eclipse will be visible from 4:58 to 7:21 pm
