On Sunday, 11 July 2010 , a Total Eclipse of the Sun is visible from within a narrow corridor that traverses Earth's southern Hemisphere. The path of the Moon's umbral shadow crosses the South Pacific Ocean where it makes no landfall except for Mangaia (Cook Islands) and Easter Island (Isla de Pascua). The path of totality ends just after reaching southern Chile and Argentina. The Moon's penumbral shadow produces a partial eclipse visible from a much larger region covering the South Pacific and southern South America. As seen from the Earth, a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, and the Moon fully or partially covers the Sun as viewed from some location on Earth. This can only happen during a new moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction as seen from Earth. At least two, and up to five, solar eclipses occur each year; no more than two can be total eclipses.Total solar eclipses are nevertheless rare at any particular location because totality exists only along a narrow path traced by the Moon's umbra. A total solar eclipse is a natural phenomenon. Nevertheless, in ancient times, and in some cultures today, solar eclipses have been attributed to supernatural causes or regarded as bad omens. A total solar eclipse can be frightening to people who are unaware of their astronomical explanation, as the Sun seems to disappear in the middle of the day and the sky darkens in a matter of minutes.

Question by Trophywife22: do solar pool covers really work?
i just purchased a above ground pool. no one likes to go in a freezing cold pool so i am wondering if i should purchase solar rings or a solar cover. do they actually make the water warmer?

New addition to my solar system videos. Virtually everything you'd want to know about the rings of Saturn. It's one of the solar system's most awe-inspiring features but yet it's short-lived. Saturn's rings are young but in a few million years that will have changed and it's ring system will be more like Jupiter's, one tiny ring orbiting the planet.

Best answer:
Answer by L_H Qutub(Retired)Astronomy lovers are hoping for clear skies tonight to see the first total eclipse of the moon visible from West Michigan in three years.
The moon will begin slipping into the earth's shadow at 1:30 a.m. and become immersed in darkness at 2:41 a.m., leaving only a coppery glow that will last about an hour, according to David L. DeBruyn, curator emeritus of the Roger B. Chaffee Planetarium a the Grand Rapids Public Museum.
Tuesday's eclipse is also special because it occurs with the moon almost as high in the sky as it can go.
West Michigan won't get another lunar eclipse opportunity until April 2014, DeBruyn said.

The bright midsummer full moon has all-but disappeared into darkness around much of the world - with the longest lunar eclipse in a decade now underway. RT filmed some stunning footage of eclipse in Moscow.
