Solar eclipses: interesting facts. Solar eclipse as a natural phenomenon
\u003e\u003e Solar Eclipse
Solar eclipse - description for children: phases and conditions, eclipse diagram, position of the Moon, Sun and Earth in space, total, partial, circular, how to observe.
For the little ones you should know exactly how this amazing event - a solar eclipse occurs. Children should not forget that all objects in the solar system move along their trajectory. On certain dates, the Moon becomes in the space between us and, covering a certain part of the Earth with its shadow. Of course, depending on the position of the bodies, there can be a total, partial or annular solar eclipse. But all this is based on specific factors that are needed explain to children.The bottom diagram will show how the eclipse is formed and which solar eclipse you are looking at in a particular case.
Parents or teachers at school must start with the background. The moon appeared 4.5 billion years ago. But initially it was located much closer, until it began to gradually move away (by 4 cm every year). Now the Moon has moved away so much that it fits perfectly into the outline of the Sun (in the sky, both objects seem to us the same in size). True, this is not always the case.
When is the next eclipse?
To give full explanation for children, it would be good to study the conditions of a solar eclipse and give an example of the previous event - February 26. It was visible from Argentina, the South Atlantic and parts of Africa. Although with modern technology, having a computer, you can observe this anywhere in the world.
The next solar eclipse will be visible from North America on August 21st. It will be complete and will pass through the US states: from Oregon to Georgia.
Types of solar eclipses
When people watch a solar eclipse, they do not always understand which one they see. Children must remember only four varieties: full, ring, partial and hybrid.
Complete
To be honest, with regard to a total solar eclipse, we are just very lucky. The solar diameter is 400 times the lunar diameter. But even for the little ones it is not news that the earth's satellite is closer. Therefore, when their orbits intersect, the distance is equalized and the Moon can completely cover the solar disk. This is usually observed every 18 months.
The shadow is divided into two types. The shadow is the part where all sunlight is blocked (takes the form of a dark cone). It is surrounded by partial shade. This is a lighter shadow, in the form of a funnel, from which light is only partially blocked.
When the period of total eclipse occurs, the Moon casts a shadow on the surface. Should explain to childrenthat such a shadow can cover 1/3 of the earth's route in just a couple of hours. If you are lucky enough to be exposed to direct light, you will see the sun's disk take on the shape of a crescent.
There is a very short moment when the Sun completely overlaps. Then you will catch the glow of the crown (the outer globe of the solar atmosphere). This period lasts up to 7 minutes 31 seconds, although most total eclipses often end earlier.
Partial
A partial eclipse occurs when only penumbra forms above you. At such moments, a certain part of the Sun always remains visible (which of them will depend on the circumstances).
Most often, partial shade falls over the polar regions. Other areas near this zone observe only a thin solar strip hidden behind the Moon. If you are in the very center of events, then you can see the part closed by the shadow. Important explain to childrenthat the closer they are to the epicenter, the larger the event will seem. For example, if you are out of sight, you will be able to notice how the Sun shrinks to a crescent shape, and then gradually returns to its usual form.
Ring
Annular refers to a type of partial eclipse, and it lasts 12 minutes 30 seconds (maximum). To make it clear explanation for children, it's worth noting that this is rare and does not seem to be complete. It all starts with the sky darkening, reminiscent of twilight, because most of the star is still visible.
Sometimes it is still confused with full, because the Moon occupies the entire central solar plane. But this is where the main difference lies. The fact is that our satellite at this moment is not close enough, therefore it seems small and does not cover the entire disk. Therefore, the tip of the shadow is not marked on Earth. If you are lucky enough to be in the very center, you will see a "ring of fire" framing the moon. Parents or teachers at school can demonstrate this phenomenon by placing a coin on top of a luminous flashlight.
Hybrids
They are also called annular (AT) eclipses. This happens when the Moon reaches its limit in distance, allowing shadows to touch our surface. In most cases, the beginning resembles a ring type because the shadow tip has not yet reached the Earth. Then it becomes complete, since in the very middle the shadow falls on the earthly roundness, after which it again returns to the ring type.
Since it seems that the satellite crosses the solar line, the total, annular and hybrid eclipses are called "central", so as not to confuse them with partial ones. If we take it as a percentage, we get: full - 28%, partial - 35%, ring - 32% and hybrid - 5%.
Eclipse Predictions
Sure, for the little ones it is important to understand that eclipses will not occur with every new moon. The lunar shadow most often goes above or below the earth's level because the satellite's orbit is tilted 5 degrees. But 2 times a year (maybe 5), the new moon is at the correct point, allowing it to obscure the Sun. This point is called a knot. Parity or centrality will depend on the approach of the satellite to this node. But the formation of a total, annular or hybrid eclipse will be affected by the distance between the Earth and the Moon, as well as the planet and the Sun.
Parents should be reminded that these events do not happen by chance and that they can be calculated to give people the opportunity to prepare. There is a certain interval called the Saros cycle. Children surprised, but early Chaldean astronomers managed to calculate it 28 centuries ago. The word “saros” itself denoted the repetition process and was equated to 18 years and 11⅓ days (of course, in a leap year the number of days changes). At the end of the interval, the Sun and Moon are aligned to their previous position. What does third mean? This is the path of each eclipse, which each time moves closer to the west in relation to longitude. For example, the total eclipse on March 29, 2006 passed through western and northern Africa, and then moved to southern Asia. On April 8, 2024, it will be repeated, but will already cover northern Mexico, the central and eastern regions of the United States, as well as the coastal Canadian provinces.
Safe surveillance
The closer the event, the more actively in the news they try to tell about the most important precautions regarding observation of an eclipse. They forbid to look with a direct gaze, as you can get blind. Because of this, many began to treat eclipses as something dangerous. No matter how it is!
Generally speaking, the Sun never loses its danger. Every second it presents our planet with invisible infrared rays that can damage our eyesight. Children they probably checked it on themselves when they stared at the ordinary sun for a long time. Of course, in most cases we don't, but the eclipse makes us look up.
But there are also safe methods ...
Maximum safety is guaranteed by "pinhole cameras". Binoculars or a small telescope on a tripod will also work. It can help you find spots and also notice that the Sun will be darker at the edges. Otherwise, you should never look directly at the sun without protective equipment.
There is also a mirror with special holes. You can do it yourself. To do this, take a piece of paper with a small hole and cover it with a mirror (no more than your palm). Open a window on the sunny side and place a mirror on a sunlit windowsill. Place it so that the reflective side bounces sunlight onto the wall inside the house. You will see the manifestation of the disc - this sun face. The further the distance from the wall, the better the visibility. Every three meters, the image appears only 3 cm. You need to experiment with the size of the hole, since a large one will give the image brightness at the expense of loss of clarity. But small will make it darker, but sharp. Do not forget to close other windows with curtains and do not turn on the lights. It is best to organize the maximum gloom in the room. Do not forget also that the mirror should be flat and do not look at the reflection itself.
Discard the negatives of old camera film, as well as black and white film (there is no silver in it), sunglasses, photographic ND filters and polarizing filters. Of course, they don't let sunlight through much, but children must understand that they are unable to protect their eyes from the huge amount of near-infrared radiation that can lead to retinal burns. And don't think that the lack of discomfort makes observation safe.
True, there is one moment when you can look at the Sun without fear - a total eclipse. At this time, the solar disk overlaps. But it only lasts a few seconds or minutes, but then there is an opportunity to admire the delightful radiance of the pearl white crown. With each eclipse, it will change its shades and size. Sometimes it seems soft, but it happens that several long rays radiate from the star. But as soon as the sun appears, you need to quickly take advantage of the protection.
Eclipses in ancient times
Explanation for children would be incomplete without mentioning historical events. The earliest records appeared 4000 years ago. The Chinese believed it was a giant dragon trying to swallow the Sun. At the court of the emperor, there were even special astronomers who, during the event, shot arrows into the sky, were in drums and made noise to frighten the monster.
This is reflected in the ancient Chinese book Shujing (Book of Documents). It tells about two astronomers at court: Xi and Ho. They were caught drunk before the eclipse began. The emperor was so angry that he gave the order to cut off their heads. This event took place on October 22, 2134 BC.
Eclipses are also mentioned in the Bible. For example, in Amos 8: 9: "I will make the sun go down at noon and darken the earth in the middle of daylight." Scientists say that it is about an eclipse in Nineveh on June 15, 763 BC.
A solar eclipse could stop a war
Herodotus said that the Lydians and Medes waged a 5-year war. When it was supposed to stretch out for another year, Thales of Miletus (Greek sage) said that the moment would soon come when day would become night. And it happened on May 17, 603 BC. The warriors thought that this was a warning sign from the gods and were reconciled.
Surely children could hear the expression "scared to death." So this has a real reference to the son of Charlemagne, Emperor Louis of Bavaria. May 5, 840 A.D. he noticed a total eclipse that lasted for 5 minutes. But as soon as the Sun emerged from the shadows, Louis was so amazed that he died of horror!
Modern research
Astronomers have studied our system for a long time, trying to figure out what an eclipse is. And although at that time it was very difficult to obtain information (people could not go into space), but by the 18th century a lot of useful knowledge had been collected.
To track the total solar eclipse on October 27, 1780, Harvard Professor Samuel Williams arranged a trip to Panebskot Bay, Maine. This was dangerous, since at that time this territory was in the enemy zone (War of Independence). But the British appreciated the importance for science and missed it without pretensions to political differences.
But it was all in vain. Williams made a serious calculation error, so he put the people in Islesboro, which was right outside the event. He watched in disappointment as the crescent moon slid around the dark edge of the moon and began to gain strength.
During the full cycle, several bright red spots can be seen around the black disk of the satellite. These are solar prominences - incandescent hydrogen erupting onto the surface of a star. The phenomenon was tracked by Pierre Janssen (astronomer from France) on August 18, 1868. Thanks to this, he discovered a new element, which later other astronomers (J. Norman Lockyer and Edward Frankland) called helium (the Greek word "helios" meant "the sun"). It was identified only in 1895.
A total eclipse is also interesting because at this moment sunlight is blocked, so the surrounding stars are much easier to observe. It is in these conditions that astronomers manage to test the general theory of relativity, which predicted that starlight would pass beyond the line of the sun and go off the straight path. To do this, we compared two images of the same stars taken during a total eclipse on May 29, 1919 and during the day.
Modern technology can do without eclipses in order to track other stars. But a total eclipse will forever remain a long-awaited and amazing event that everyone should see. You have studied the description and conditions for creating a solar eclipse. Use our photos, videos, drawings and moving models online to better understand the description and characteristics of the star. In addition, the site has online telescopes that observe the Sun in real time, and a 3D model of the solar system with all the planets, a map of the sun and a view of the surface.

The last eclipse in December stands out. There are 4 planets in the karmic nakshatra of the Gandanta Mula. There are 6 planets in Sagittarius itself. Poisonous ferocious nakshatras are active. Mula, Jyeshtha, Visakha are very difficult nakshatras. For a full company, here only Ashlesha is not enough, but Ardra is active. So it's a time of change in every sense. We use it for the good, for our growth.
The main theme of the saros of this eclipse is the unexpected end of ties or relationships, moreover, with a strong emotional component. The transformation will not be easy, but in the end everything is for the good, let the experience gained melt into new opportunities.
The main cause of suffering is attachment. The secret to success is detachment.
“Working with the New Moon and Full Moon cycles is a fundamental step towards opening the doors of initiation. It allows you to enter through the visible world into invisible and divine fields of light. "

In lunar eclipses, sensitivity, emotions, vulnerability are aggravated. Speak after thinking, do not offend your loved ones. This is especially true for relationships with women, and within the family as well. If there is discontent, Mars will raise it to the surface. It is worth letting off steam, starting to clean, freeing up space from trash.

SATURN and HEALTH
"In the physical body of a person, the nervous system is under the control of Saturn. That is why whenever an unpleasant event occurs, it affects the nervous system. The more disappointments, obstacles, delays and things that we do not like, the more disturbances are caused in the nervous system. - Nervousness, paralysis and neuralgia are due to the influence of Saturn. The connections between brain functions, motor and sensory activity are controlled by the combined influence of two cold planets - the Moon and Saturn. The heat of the Sun at the physical level is radiated through a point near the diaphragm, and Saturn interferes with this if its aspects with the Moon and the Sun are unfavorable - The diaphragm separates the upper and lower parts of the body and looks like the sun sign of Leo The solar energy is taken into the physical body by the diaphragm.
If strong pressure comes from the solar plexus, vitality is pulled down. The diaphragm loses its strength, and this leads to the fact that the soul begins to pull down. Maintaining the diaphragm in proper order is an important physical aspect of spiritual practice.
When the Moon and Saturn are in unfavorable aspects with the Sun, it affects the diaphragm. When Saturn is in an unfavorable aspect with the Moon, it affects the nervous system. - The arrest of any organ through the loss of peristalsis of nerves and muscles is caused by Saturn. In an unfavorable aspect with the Moon, it acts on the nerves, and in an unfavorable aspect with the Sun - on the diaphragm. When well aspected, he protects.
Saturn rules a person's old age with all their complaints. Gradual paralysis of the legs, starting in the feet and upward, is usually found in people with Saturn-affected individuals. If Saturn is affected in a person, he will gradually get problems with the feet, hip joints, spine, until Saturn slowly conquers the human kingdom - his bodily constitution.
During the third circle of Saturn, if it is well positioned in the horoscope, people rise to a very enviable position and make very large-scale achievements. "From the book of Parvati Kumar.

Lunar eclipse July 17, 2019 in Nakshatra UTTARAASADHA again comes to Guru purnima, like last year. Saturn walks along Sagittarius, cleans the "spiritual" leaders in full, how many vices of the false guru have come to the surface! Saturn has an iron grip, there is hope that many pure, gullible people who seek spirituality from visiting "gurus" will see their sight and come out of the captivity of swindlers. So this day in the lives of many seekers of spiritual enlightenment can become a turning point, very significant. Spiritual disappointment is the most painful, therefore, especially in our time, one must reasonably choose an object of worship for oneself, if there is such a desire.
Saturn, Ketu, Moon in the 8th house in the militant Purvaashadha. Self-confidence is good, but it is important not to overestimate your capabilities, so that you do not succeed, like Hitler, who had this nakshatra active.
"Saturn disciplines. He teaches us the right approach and the right behavior. But if in our natal chart Saturn is strong, this means that we already have some innate discipline. If not, then Saturn will teach us ...
The moon in our horoscope speaks of our past conditioning. When Saturn transits through it, it becomes possible to clear our old karma or pay off a debt. He works so hard. Training begins by stimulating all the unpleasant things. We have more and more delays, more frustrations, more obstacles, and so on for seven and a half years.
After that, we become like a washed canvas that can be used for a good purpose. All angularities and impurities are washed out during this period.

December 26, 2019
- Solar eclipse at 05:18:53 (UT) at 4 degrees Capricorn (tropical zodiac)
132 Saros; visibility: Asia, Australia, (Annular: Saudi Arabia, India, Sumatra, Borneo). Duration 3 hours 39 minutes.
Wow, six planets are in Sagittarius, four of them are in Mula, and Mercury is in 1 pad, gandanta! Thought of the day: "Who says what he wants, hears what he does not want." On this topic, read the tales from our Diary and ponder. And how to tell the truth, I quoted above.
A serious company has gathered in the 2nd house, not children's showdowns, they are not comfortable there in such a quantity and composition. Mercury, Sun, Moon, Jupiter in Mula, Ketu and Saturn in Purvaashadha, opposite the lonely Rahu in the 8th house in Ardra. Venus stayed in the 3rd house, and the warlike Mars fled to the 1st house in the warlike Visakha, Lagna Jyeshtha 4 pada gandanta.
What can I say? Tin, in a word. In general, all the eclipses of this year are complex, karmicity is off scale. But what to do, as they say, from each according to his ability, to each according to his karma. The main thing is to honestly fulfill your duty, not to interfere with other people’s lives, and then the planets will not all clump together in Mulu with Rahu in Ardre opposite.
We pay the bills, boldly part with the obsolete, cleanse ourselves, find fresh ways to grow and do not sow rotten seeds.
Our focus of attention will be in those areas (houses of the horoscope, natal planets), where the eclipse points fall. Changes are likely in these areas of life.
Eclipses, affecting important points of the horoscope, have a huge impact. The stress itself lasts for several weeks, but the effect can be lifelong. Therefore, it is so important to consciously live these important turning days.
"In the lunar phases are hidden all the keys related to the cycles of time. The new moon is like the moment when nothing has yet been created, while the full moon is akin to the fullness of creation."
Solar eclipses - more of an external nature, they affect events around a person, which the person himself does not consciously cause.
Lunar eclipses have a more internal, emotional character, at this time reflections on specific situations mature and personal events occur related to our thoughts and emotions.
Especially lunar eclipses highlight the spheres of relationships, both personal and in groups, society. The clarity of the situation comes, something leaves our life. And this is always what hinders development. And although this is not always immediately clear, it is better to get rid of the obsolete, to let go in peace, not to cling to something that has served its time. It is better to do this voluntarily, consciously, then there will be less losses.
Eclipses - like a spotlight, illuminate certain areas of life where changes are ripe. They bring hidden problems to the surface, what has been hidden becomes visible. Eclipses highlight our constraints on the way, issues worth working on to move on with ease.
Not blaming others for our failures, but consciously working on those issues that the eclipse highlighted, we bring our lives into balance and move harmoniously along the path. Our decisions, how we will deal with those issues that highlighted the eclipse, have a huge impact on future life.
SAROS
Each eclipse belongs to a certain family of eclipses (Saros), which has its own personal characteristics. It would seem to be a random event, but upon close examination, it belongs to a strictly organized cycle that unfolds over about 1280 years. If you know the nature of this cycle, then events take on a lot of meaning.
Each series of Saros gives the next solar eclipse every 18 years, plus 9-11 days. Lunar eclipses occur 14 days before or after solar. Saros begins with a partial eclipse, then during the series, the eclipses occur closer and closer to the nodes, then very close to the nodes (Total eclipse, at about 640 age of the series) and further - again moving away from the nodes, partial eclipses occur. Depending on the distance from the nodes, the eclipse has a greater or lesser effect.
The most powerful eclipse is Total, in the middle of the life of the series, and it occurs in the same degree in which it originated, and in the same degree there will be the last eclipse of the series, in which it will end its existence.
There are two seasons of eclipses per year, Northern and Southern. North (N) originated at the North Pole, South (S) originated at the South Pole and they move at a constant speed to the opposite pole.
Each series has its own birth chart, and, accordingly, individual characteristics described by the planets at its birth. Each solar eclipse and the accompanying Lunar eclipse have characteristics of the Saros series to which they belong. Each series includes 71-73 eclipses. Eclipses of one series are repeated every 18 years. Therefore. in order to make a forecast of what the coming eclipse is in store for me, you can see if there were important turning events 18 years ago.
Eclipses of one Saros series appear every 18 years and about 10 degrees further in longitude. those. the series, moving across the map, jumps 10 degrees, skips some sensitive points of the horoscope and points to others. A certain series of Saros passes the entire map for 650 years.
If a person is born during an eclipse, he is deeply connected with this series and is its means of expression. Events related to the characteristics of this series will take place in his life.
The characteristics and serial numbers of Saros differ in different sources. Below are the characteristics of Saros by Bernadette Brady.
January 2019 eclipses belong to 2S Saros

These eclipses are associated with unusual groups and human involvement in these groups. This may be the time when a person notices or unexpectedly wants to find a specific group that is related to healing, art, or philanthropy. The person will feel that he can gain a lot from being involved in such a group.

This is a family of eclipses brings an unexpected end to a relationship or relationshipperhaps with a younger man. There is a significant emotional component (due to Pluto involvement) and a sense of traumatic transformation. This could be due to news received or short travels undertaken.
Eclipses in 1950 - 2050: 1911, 1929, 1947, 1965, 1983, 2001, 2019, 2038 UTC - Coordinated Universal Time - Coordinated Universal Time, the basis of Civil Time, which differs by an integer number of seconds from atomic time ( International Atomic Time - TAI) and a fractional number of seconds from UT1 (UT1 is the time at the Greenwich Mean Meridian, corrected for the movement of the Earth's poles).
UTC was introduced instead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The new UTC time scale was introduced because the GMT scale is an irregular scale and is related to the daily rotation of the Earth.
UTC is based on the Uniform Atomic Time Scale (TAI) and is more convenient for civilian use. Time zones around the globe are expressed as positive and negative offsets from UTC.
UTC time is not translated in winter or summer! Therefore, for those places where there is daylight saving time, the offset relative to UTC changes.
Moscow time is UT + 3 hours from October 2014.

Excerpts from books see on social networks:
The eclipse of the sun is a time of intensification of cosmic energies! How can you learn to use them to fulfill your innermost desires?
What is the significance of an eclipse of the sun for the fate of a person?
People have always known that brief moments of a solar eclipse are of great importance for the life of all living beings on the planet.
Usually, many project fears in it: this is due to the fact that light is habitually associated with good, and darkness with evil.
In fact, the time of a solar eclipse is of great importance from the point of view of esotericism, it enhances the energies of space and planets, their influence on the inhabitants of the Earth. These influences are universal: they can be used for evil, or they can be used for good; they can bring positive change or they can attract disasters. It all depends on the point of view and expectations of the person.
This is the mysterious period of the disappearance of the luminary from the firmament -: you can get rid of negative programs and make positive changes in your life!
How to properly meet an eclipse of the sun?
As stated above, a solar eclipse is a great time to change your destiny.
It provides an excellent opportunity for self-improvement: you can get rid of negative habits and negative character traits. An eclipse usually lasts for several minutes, so you need to carefully prepare for it.
You need to start preparing for this special moment in 3 days.
- This is the time of active energy! What a person will say, consciously or unconsciously, will come true. At this time, the practitioner monitors the spoken words and those thoughts that will come these days.
- It is recommended that you prepare affirmations for this time in advance in the area in which changes are needed.
- If there are debts, then the period of a solar eclipse is the best time to get rid of them: give them back on this day. To repay the debt at this time means to get rid of what interferes with material well-being.
- On these days, you need to fast and give up meat food, nuts and seeds.
- It is recommended to talk to yourself, to understand what the person wants to get rid of.
On the day of a solar eclipse, the following steps must be followed.
1. Half an hour before the eclipse, the practitioner lights a candle, walks around the apartment with it, reading a prayer. It may be "Our Father", or it may be the one that your heart desires.
The apartment is bypassed clockwise.
2. Then the person stands in the middle of the central room, where a candle is burning. Looking at her, he says everything that he wants to get rid of; everything that he wrote down in advance on paper. After reading this list, the practitioner burns it in a fire.
3. 15 minutes before the eclipse, he takes a contrast shower. After the shower, it is located directly on the floor, facing north.
4. Closing his eyes, a person relaxes the muscles of the body and face, enters a meditative state. He presents his negative programs - complexes, habits, fears - in the form of mental images (symbols).
5. The practitioner listens to himself: heaviness in the abdomen means fear, in the throat - resentment.
6. When you manage to feel the clamps in your body, the person sends them love and gratitude until they begin to change - they become light, clean.
At this moment, different thoughts, ideas, emotions may come to you: you need to allow this to happen!
7. When the practitioner is finished, he opens his eyes and thanks the Universe for this experience.
The first lunar day after a solar eclipse is the time for making wishes.
It's simple: a person sits down in front of a lit candle and utters his deepest desires into the fire. You need to choose those that can be realized during the year.
It's not difficult to meet an eclipse of the sun, these simple steps will allow you to radically change your life, make it successful and happy!
Notes and feature articles for a deeper understanding of the material
¹ A solar eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon, which consists in the fact that the Moon covers (eclipses) the Sun completely or partially from an observer on Earth (Wikipedia).
As you know, the planets and their satellites do not stand still. The earth revolves around the sun and the moon revolves around the earth. And from time to time there are such moments when the Moon in its motion completely or partially obscures the Sun.
Picture 1.
Solar eclipse is the shadow of the moon on the surface of the earth. This shadow is about 200 km in diameter, which is many times smaller than the diameter of the Earth. Therefore, a solar eclipse can be observed simultaneously only in a narrow strip on the path of the lunar shadow:
Figure 2. Lunar shadow on the surface of the Earth during a solar eclipse
If the observer is in the shadow strip, he sees total solar eclipse, in which the Moon completely hides the Sun. In this case, the sky darkens, and stars can become visible on it. It's getting a little cooler. The birds fall silent abruptly, frightened by the sudden darkness, and try to hide. Animals start to get anxious. Some plants fold their leaves.
Figure 3. Total solar eclipse phase
Observers who are near the total eclipse strip can see partial solar eclipse ... With a partial eclipse, the Moon does not pass over the Sun's disk exactly in the center, but hides only part of this disk. In this case, the sky darkens much weaker than with a total eclipse, the stars are not visible on it. A partial eclipse can be observed at a distance of about 2 thousand kilometers from the total eclipse zone.
Figure 4.
A solar eclipse always happens on a new moon. At this time, the Moon is not visible on the Earth, because the side of the Moon that faces the Earth is not illuminated by the Sun (see Figure 1). Because of this, it seems that during an eclipse, the Sun covers a black spot, which came from nowhere.
The shadow that the moon casts towards the earth looks like a sharply converging cone. The tip of this cone is located a little further than our planet (see Figures 1 and 2). Therefore, when a shadow hits the Earth's surface, it is not a point, but a relatively small (150–270 km across) black spot. Following the Moon, this spot moves along the surface of our planet at a speed of about 1 kilometer per second:
Figure 5.

Consequently, the moon's shadow moves with great speed along the earth's surface and cannot cover any one place on the globe for a long time. The maximum possible duration of a complete phase is only 7.5 minutes. A partial eclipse lasts about two hours.
Solar eclipses on Earth are truly a unique phenomenon. It is possible because on the celestial sphere the diameters of the Moon and the Sun are almost the same, despite the fact that the diameter of the Sun is almost 400 times the diameter of the Moon. This is because the Sun is about 400 times farther from the Earth than the Moon.
But the moon's orbit is not round, but elliptical. Therefore, at times favorable for the onset of eclipses, the lunar disk can be greater than the solar disk, equal to it or less than it. In the first case, a total eclipse occurs. In the second case, a total eclipse also occurs, but it lasts only an instant. And in the third case, an annular eclipse occurs: a shining ring of the Sun's surface is visible around the dark disk of the Moon. Such an eclipse can last up to 12 minutes.
During a total solar eclipse, you can observe solar corona - the outer layers of the Sun's atmosphere, which is invisible under normal solar light. This is a stunningly beautiful sight:

On March 20 this year, there will be a total solar eclipse that will block up to 90 percent of the sun. The eclipse will be the largest event in the past 16 years. On this day, the Moon passes directly in front of the Sun, casting a shadow on the Earth. A solar eclipse can cause temporary power outages across Europe. The eclipse will occur on the afternoon of March 20 on Friday and will start at 7:41 UTC (UTC) and end at 11:50 UTC.
The beginning of a solar eclipse: 12:13 Moscow time
Maximum phase of a solar eclipse: 13:20 Moscow time
End of the solar eclipse: 14:27 Moscow time
Maximum solar disk darkening: 58 percent
In the east of Greenland, Iceland, the Svalbard archipelago and the Faroe Islands, a total eclipse will be observed. A partial solar eclipse will be observed in Russia, Europe, northern and eastern Africa and northern and eastern Asia.
The last total solar eclipse of this magnitude occurred on August 11, 1999, and the next will take place in 2026. In addition, an eclipse can disrupt solar power supplies and result in a power outage.
Remember that you cannot look directly at the Sun's disk during the time, as this can lead to irreversible damage to the eyes. For observation, you need to use special solar filters.
The eclipse falls on the day of the equinox and new moon, and the Moon reaches the lunar perigee, the closest point to Earth in its orbit. The vernal equinox occurs on March 20, 2015 at 22:45 UTC (March 21, 1:45 Moscow time). It represents the moment when the Sun crosses the celestial equator. On the day of the equinox, the duration of the night and day is the same and is 12 hours.
The March new moon will be a supermoon that, while not visible, will have more than the usual impact on Earth's oceans. An eclipse occurs when a celestial body, such as the Moon or a planet, passes into the shadow of another body. On Earth, two types of eclipses can be observed: solar and lunar.
During a solar eclipse, the Moon's orbit passes between the Sun and the Earth. When this happens, the Moon blocks the light from the Sun and casts a shadow on the Earth.
There are several types of solar eclipses:
Full - it is visible in certain areas of the Earth, which are in the center of the lunar shadow falling on the Earth. The sun, moon and earth are in a straight line.
Partial - This eclipse occurs when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are not exactly on the same line and the observers are in partial shade.
Annular - occurs when the Moon is at the farthest point from the Earth. As a result, it does not completely block the solar disk, but looks like a dark disk with a bright ring around it.
