Total Solar Eclipse

There is something quite magical and wonderful in viewing such a special and rare event, as a total Solar Eclipse. Although those of us living in North America will not view another total Eclipse until August 21, 2017, it still brings excitement in just knowing it is happening. Eclipses are said to bring about great change, and energy shifts that will be felt by those sensitive to such occurances.

For a quick recap on a recent post.. The narrow path of totality of the first total eclipse of the Sun since March 2006 will sweep across northern Canada and the Arctic, through central Russia, and into Mongolia, ending in China. At mid-eclipse near Nadym in northern Russia, observers will experience 2 minutes 27 seconds of totality. Outside the centerline track, the partial phases of the eclipse will be visible across all of Asia (excluding Japan), central and eastern Europe, and northern Canada.

You may wish to refer to my post at Solar and Lunar Eclipses in 2008 to gain a better perspective into Eclipses in general, as well as to find relevent links pertaining to indepth details and maps.

Like the Olympics, the thrills of live viewership can still be yours even if you can’t travel to China for this major celestial event. Thanks to satellite technology, you can watch it from your planetarium or local museum… or even from home at your computer screen!
