Question by minty: Will I be able to see the ring of fire from Grass Valley Ca., during the annular eclipse on 5/20?
I am planning on driving to Grass Valley Ca. to see the annular eclipse. It is within the southern border of the path. Will I be close enough to the central path to actually see the ring of fire?
Best answer:
Answer by imdashtiYou will be able to see the ring of sunlight for more than two minutes in Grass Valley. Going to the central path will give more than two additional minutes, as the annular eclipse there will last well over four minutes. Even in Meadow Vista, you can see the ring for less than a minute. In Alta Sierra, it will show for less than two minutes. Going all the way to Nevada City might give you around 15 seconds more than Grass Valley. Going to any point beyond Meadow Vista on Highway 80 would still give you the ability to see the annular eclipse without the need to go to secondary roads like the one to Grass Valley.

In his quest for more information, Man has gone far and wide in his explorations. NASA and various such aerospace researchers have shared the breathtaking "out-of-the-world" pictures with all and sundry. Various space missions, coupled with advancements in satellite photography, have contributed to this achievement of mankind. Solar system pictures are now a widely developed area on account of the availability of sharp and vivid images of specified solar system objects.Multimedia projections, virtual guided tours, online professional labs, and different websites offer magnificent pictures of the solar system trajectory, the sun, planets, asteroids, comets, and meteoroids.For example, the web version of Welcome to the Planets, among a multitude of other sites, has new planetary images, taken by various space missions, including the Mars Pathfinder, Mars Global Surveyor, and Galileo and Cassini spacecraft. Previously only CD-ROMs were there, but now voice-overs are available online.Print-outs can be obtained by paying amounts starting at $ 7 plus $ 5 handling charges.NASA's Hubble has discovered new rings and moons around Uranus, in a close shot. Another picture courtesy of the Hubble telescope shows Mars kicking up the dust as it comes the closest to Earth. Various pictures released show possible new moons around Pluto and other moon resources.Hubble even made a movie of Neptune's Dynamic Atmosphere. Observations of Ceres, the largest known asteroid, revealed that the object may be a "Mini Planet" with water ice.There are solar eclipse images showing the structure of the sun, which is the most prominent feature in the solar system. The sun's disk can accommodate 109 Earths, and its interior could hold over 1.3 million earths.Pictures of these sharpest views of the sun, pictures of solar flares leaving the sun quaking and other intimate pictures of planets, asteroids, and comets have been made available by various space missions. Thanks to them, these can be now obtained or downloaded.

Question by : Why is the eclipse on May 20, 2012 not on any website or before 1 week ago?
I have looked all over the internet looking for any kind of mention of the solar eclipse that is scheduled to happen on May 20, 2012. I have gone to sites that mathematically calculate solar eclipse cycles, but there is no mention of May 20, 2012. As far as i can tell there wasn't supposed to be another solar eclipse until 2014.
Best answer:
Answer by StephenThis is an annular eclipse, where the Sun will show around the edges of the moon along the centroid of the eclipse. This has been on many sites for a long time, as have the other Solar eclipses of 2012 and 2013. I don't know where you got the idea that there were no more until 2014. See, for example, http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/solar.html.
