Solar Eclipse

Solar Eclipse: Encyclopedia - Solar eclipse

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes in front of the Sun and obscures it totally or partially. This configuration can only occur at New Moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction, as seen from the Earth. 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 outline of the Moon, and the much fainter corona is visible (see image right). During any one eclipse, a total eclipse is vis ...

This damage can result in permanent impairment of vision, up to and including blindness. The retina has no sensitivity to pain, and the effects of retinal damage may not appear ...

Solar Eclipse: Sun and Moon Eclipse in Hindu Worshipping

Astronomically speaking, when the sun, the moon and the earth are all in line, with the moon or the earth at the centre, a solar or lunar eclipse takes place respectively.

At the time of the eclipse, people bathe in the sacred rivers. They do charitable acts. They give cows, money and gold. The day after the eclipse they feed the poor, the Brahmins and the Sadhus. After the eclipse they clean their houses, vessels, etc., and take a bath before they start cooking.

Solar Eclipse: Encyclopedia - Eclipse

An eclipse (Greek verb: ecleipo, "to cease existing" or calypse, "to cover" ) is an astronomical event that occurs when one celestial object moves into the shadow of another. The term is most often used to describe either a solar eclipse, when the Moon's shadow crosses Earth's surface, or a lunar eclipse, when the Moon moves into the shadow of Earth. However, it can also refer to such events beyond the Earth-Moon system: for example, a planet moving into the shadow cast by one of its moons, a moon passing into the shadow cast by its parent planet, or a ...

An eclipse occurs whenever the Sun, Earth and Moon line up exactly. If this occurrence is at the time of a full moon where the Moon passes through the Earth's shadow, it is called a lunar eclipse. The type and length of a lunar eclipse depends upon the Moon's location relative to its orbital node. Lunar eclipse - Types of lunar eclipses. A penumbral eclipse occurs when the Moon only passes through the Earth's penumbra, the outer portion of the Earth's shadow. The penumbra does not cause a not ...

Solar Eclipse: Encyclopedia - Antumbra

The antumbra is the section of a shadow where an annular eclipse may be viewed. In an annular eclipse, the moon is not of sufficient size to completely cover the sun, and so its shadow is not long enough to reach the Earth and result in a total solar eclipse. At maximum eclipse, the moon is surrounded by a ring, or annulus, of light, and the location on Earth where the ring can be seen is also the location of the antumbra. Although the antumbra may be referred to as a "negative shadow", it is nevertheless darker than the ...

Solar Eclipse: Encyclopedia - Saros cycle

A Saros cycle is a period of 6585 + 1/3 days (approximately 18 years 10 days and 8 hours) which can be used to predict eclipses of the Sun and the Moon. Every saros the Sun, the Earth and the Moon return to approximately the same places and therefore almost identical solar and lunar eclipses repeat one saros apart. For example, there was a total eclipse of the Sun on 11 August 1999 centred over Europe and there will be a similar eclipse of the Sun on 21 August 2017. Due to the one third of a day fraction, the Earth will be one third of a turn (120 degrees) through its daily rotation so the eclipse will ...

Pluto is the ninth planet in the solar system. Discovered in 1930 and immediately classified as a planet, its status is currently under dispute. Pluto has an eccentric orbit that is highly inclined in respect to the other planets and takes it inside the orbit of Neptune. Its largest moon is Charon, discovered in 1978; two smaller moons were discovered in 2005. Pluto's astronomical symbol is a P-L monogram, ♇. This represents both the first two letters of the name Pluto and the initials of Percival Lowell ...

Solar Eclipse: Encyclopedia - Sunshade

A sunshade is a variation on an umbrella, used for thousands of years to shade people from the Sun. Megastructure sunshades in orbit have been proposed by science fiction writers and more recently are becoming serious engineering proposals. In theory a sunshade with a diameter of 130 miles can be orbited at an altitude of 10,000 to 15,000 miles which is a solar synchronous orbit. The sunshade would produce a continuous solar eclipse which would circle Earth's tropic zone continuously. This sunshade would reduce the solar ...

Solar Eclipse: Encyclopedia - Allais effect

The Allais effect is a claimed anomalous precession of the plane of oscillation of a pendulum during a solar eclipse. It has been speculated to be unexplained by standard physical models of gravitation, but recent mainstream physics publications tend rather to posit conventional explanations for the reported observations. The effect was first reported in 1954 by Maurice Allais, a French physicist who went on to win the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. He reported another ob ...
