Question by Lupe Magallanes: Can there be an eclipse that makes it pitch dark?
Can there be an eclipse that somehow blocks all the suns light and makes it really dark and pitch black even during daytime? do we have any eclipses similar in the past?
Best answer:
Answer by GeneLyes, that one is called a "total eclipse".
And there's one coming up this year...On November 12/13, 2012, a total eclipse of the Sun will be visible from within a narrow corridor that traverses Earth's southern Hemisphere. The path of the Moon's umbral shadow begins in norther Australia and crosses the South Pacific Ocean with on other no landfall. The Moon's penumbral shadow produces a partial eclipse visible from a much larger region covering Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific.
The one we had yesterday is called an Annular Solar Eclipse and occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun, causing the Sun to look like an annulus (ring), blocking most (but not all) of the Sun's light.
