Question by Yanka: When the next solar eclipse happens, does the Philippines stand a chance to experience it?
It states in MrEclipse.com that the next solar eclipse will happen on August 1, 2008. It would start in Canada and leave in China. Do you think the Philippines (where I am staying now) will have a chance to be able to get "blocked"?

Answer by YaybobYou will see at most a partial eclipse, maybe less. There is a map at http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/OH/OHfigures/OH2008-Fig03.pdf that shows the Philippines on the line between seeing it and not.
This map http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/SEmono/TSE2008/TSE2008iau/TSE2008-fig08.GIF suggests that you may not see much

Q&A: Next eclipse in 2010 and what is the time?
Question by priyanka: Next eclipse in 2010 and what is the time?
I'm pregnant and i just want to know when is next eclipse and time and what i have to do during that time?
Best answer:
Answer by AlanJuly 11th 2010, the time depends on what time zone you live in.
What to do? well the eclipse is in the south pacific so you need to get on a ship if you want to see it, there are plenty of cruise ships going to the eclipse but they might all be booked up by now.
I suggest you search the internet, if there are no tickets left try for a cancellation, otherwise you will have to hire a long range jet plane and that's expensive
Good Luck with the eclipse, and the birth. Alan

Q&A: Did anyone hear about the lunar eclipse?
Question by Curious Girl: Did anyone hear about the lunar eclipse?
Today, June 15, 2011 there will be a lunar eclipse (earth is between sun and moon, blocking sun's light to moon, which makes tonight a dark night, with a reddish moon) and it will be visible in my country too, and I'm really excited! It is the darkest and one of the longest lunar eclipse in the century. The total phase will last for 100 minutes, the longest lunar eclipse since July 2000.
Narrated 'Aisha: In the lifetime of the Prophet the sun eclipsed and the Prophet (p.b.u.h) stood up to offer the prayer with the people and recited a long recitation, then he performed a prolonged bowing, and then lifted his head and recited a prolonged recitation which was shorter than the first. Then he performed a prolonged bowing which was shorter than the first and then lifted his head and performed two prostrations. He then stood up for the second Raka and offered it like the first and then finished the prayer; by then the sun (eclipse) had cleared. He delivered the Khutba (sermon) and after praising and glorifying Allah he said, "The sun and the moon are two signs against the signs of Allah; they do not eclipse on the death or life of anyone. So when you see the eclipse, remember Allah and say Takbir, pray and give Sadaqa." The Prophet then said, "O followers of Muhammad! By Allah! There is none who has more ghaira (self-respect) than Allah as He has forbidden that His slaves, male or female commit adultery (illegal sexual intercourse). O followers of Muhammad! By Allah! If you knew that which I know you would laugh little and weep much. (Bukhari Book #18, Hadith #154)
So people, are you going to offer the long 2 rakah prayer in congregation at the masjid? What will you do today?
In my country it will be visible from 10.54 p.m- 04.30 a.m!
So muslims, spread the word!
Remember Allah, give charity, Say Takbir - Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest), and pray the 2 rakah sunnah congregational prayer at the masjid! And don't miss to watch the eclipse, perfectly alright to watch it with naked eyes! (only solar eclipses are harmful to watch with naked eyes)
