What time will the eclipse occur in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday?


Question by jeannie: What time will the eclipse occur in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday?
I've tried figuring it out but all the charts I can find show the totality in Utah, which isn't gonna happen here. So what I need to know is what time do me and my camera need to be ready - PDT? I'm thinking the partial eclipse will occur around sunset, but I'd hate to be wrong.

Thanks.

Answer by campbelp2002The partial solar eclipse will occur late in the day in Southern California on Sunday, beginning at 5:24 p.m., reaching its maximum coverage at 6:38 p.m., and exiting the sun's path at 7:42 p.m., just 10 minutes before sunset. "That means the sun is fairly low in the northwest, and you want a clear view of the northwest horizon," said Griffith Observatory director Ed Krupp.

Q&A: How does an older person get travel insurance?


Question by John S: How does an older person get travel insurance?
I am 65 and find the insurance high for my trip to China in July for the eclipse. I also plan to go to the total solar eclipse in Japan in 2035 when I will be 91.
It seems I will not be able to get insurance at all over 70 so how do older people go on holiday?

Answer by Prophet 1102What kind of travel insurance do you want? I'm 51, I never purchase travel insurance. If you're talking medical insurance, you need to speek with your local insurance agency. If you live in the USA you can buy supplemental medicare insurance that should also cover you if you were outside the USA .

There is a full lunar eclipse on December 21, the winter solstice. When was the last time a full lunar eclipse happened on the same day as the winter solstice?
Thanks everyone. I figured it out. 1638 is the last time a total lunar eclipse happened on the winter solstice. 362 years ago. Awesome.

Answer by JohnI am not absolutely certain but I think it is refering to this below

A total solar eclipse is one of nature’s most awe-inspiring events – as the Moon covers the Sun and plunges Earth into darkness. Then the sun’s faint wispy corona creates a glowing ring around the black new moon. Almost every year, thousands of travelers rush to that special place on Earth where the moon’s shadow traces a thin path across the landscape.

Solar eclipse destinations are often exotic, remote and sometimes dangerous. However, in 2012 the prime viewing spot of the solar eclipse is the coast of Australia near the Great Barrier Reef. The Houston Museum of Natural Science has secured a limited number of hotel rooms for this highly sought-after eclipse destination. In addition to the eclipse, this HMNS travel program offers many other the natural wonders in this tour of the South Pacific.
