Solar eclipse.............?
Q. Soo during a solar eclipse can you see the moon? abd can u see partial solar eclipse in more places than total solar eclipse?
Asked by Jianying C - Mon Feb 23 23:04:31 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You can see the silhouette of the moon, but not the actual moon. What you see is a dark hole surrounded by light, you just know that it is the moon. A partial solar eclipse happens in all the area around the full solar eclipse, so yes you can see them in more places and more often. But I would not advise looking at the solar eclipse as it is still just as damaging to your eyes, despite the lack of light.

What conditions must exist for a solar eclipse to occur?
Q. What conditions must exist for a solar eclipse to occur? The only condition is that the phase of the Moon must be new. The phase of the Moon must be new and the Moon must be passing through Earth s orbital plane. The only condition is that the phase of the Moon must be full. The phase of the Moon must be full and the Moon must be passing through Earth s orbital plane.

A. the moon must be a new moon. the moon should be between the sun and the earth in the same plane as the earth. for a total eclipse of the sun to occur, the umbra of the moon should fall on the earth. only persons in this area where the umbra falls witnesses a total eclipse. the rest of the world notices a partial eclipse.

Could someone please explain to me what a hybrid solar eclipse is?
Q. I was just browsing through an astronomy events calender and I noticed this term come up. I am aware of total/annual/ partial solar eclipses but could someone please explain to me what the difference is in relation to a hybrid solar eclipse? Thanking you in advance for your answers.
Asked by Tribbles - Tue Jul 28 10:44:48 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. There are four types of solar eclipses: A total eclipse occurs when the Sun is completely obscured by the Moon. The intensely bright disk of the Sun is replaced by the dark silhouette of the Moon, and the much fainter corona is visible. During any one eclipse, totality is visible only from at most a narrow track on the surface of the Earth. An annular eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon are exactly in line, but the apparent size of the Moon is smaller than that of the Sun. Hence the Sun appears as a very bright ring, or annulus, surrounding the outline of the Moon. A hybrid eclipse (also called annular/total eclipse) transitions between a total and annular eclipse. At some points on the surface of the Earth it is visible as a total… [cont.]

Is it possible to have a solar eclipse anywhere on the face of the earth?

A. It depends, there are areas of Earth at certain points in the year that cannot theoretically experience a solar eclipse. I give the example of the arctic/antarctic circle. During winter in the northern hemisphere, a large portion of the arctic circle faces away from the Sun for a continuous 24hrs with the Sun never rising above the horizon, as a result a solar eclipse is impossible at that time. Of course, during summer in the northern hemisphere solar eclipses are theoretically possible. The opposite is true in Antarctica with no solar eclipses being possible during winter in the southern hemisphere.

Precautions when photographing or videotaping a total solar eclipse?
Q. Hi, I just heard about the July 22 Solar Eclipse happening and I'll just happen to be in Shanghai, China. I was wondering, can I use a normal camera or film recorder to record the solar eclipse or will I need something special such as special lenses? And where can I find them? Thanks.
Asked by Orange~Juice - Tue Jul 14 02:00:32 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Previous to or after the period of totality (about 5 minutes in Shanghai), the sun must be heavily filtered. Baader sells aluminized mylar filter material for this. During the totality, if you wish to record the corona around the moon, you won't need a filter. But most cameras may not be sensitive enough without longer exposures. A tripod mounting will be required.

A. The Sun doesn't suddenly become more dangerous to look at during an eclipse. The risk of eye damage is high at any time. The reason that warnings are given out is because there are far more people likely to look at the Sun during an eclipse, thereby risking eye damage. When no eclipse is taking place, no-one would have any reason to look at the Sun. When a large proportion of the Sun is covered, people may be fooled into thinking it's less harmful, but it isn't.

A. It is dangerous to stare at the Sun: it quickly leads to permanent blindness. It is perfectly safe to stare at a total eclipse _during totality_ when the Sun is completely blocked by the Moon, but it is dangerous to look at any partial phase of a solar eclipse. The usual procedure for viewing a solar eclipse is to use a dense solar filter to view the partial phases safely, and then remove the filter after the Moon has totally covered the Sun. The total phase can be safely viewed with naked eye, binoculars, or telescope without a filter. Then the filter must be put back in place before the Moon moves off the Sun. At any eclipse observation, the person in charge announces when it is safe to remove the filter, and when it's necessary to put… [cont.]
