Aww, come on Sun, baby, why you gotta do me like that?
Baby... No, baby, why you gots to put your clothes back on? D:
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/07/090720-solar-eclipse-july-22-missions.html This is going to be the longest eclipse of the century, climaxing for over 6 minutes at its purest point. It will be most visible over China, and Japan will get a pretty good view, too. Anyway, discuss! |

Anyways, I'll probably see it becuase my dad watches out for all these things and breaks out his telescope and forces me to look. |

Solar eclipses..I have never seen one. |
Yeah i was looking at an article about this and that they said that scientists predict certain doom across the earth....what does that mean?
|
Quote:
I'll put this in words everyone can understand. THE SUN WILL GO DARK. And as for the doom of the Earth? It's not gonna happen in 2012. Trust me. It was supposed to end a while ago. |

Anyway, I think that you were misinformed, but the followers of the Hindu religion believe that eclipses are caused by two demons swallowing the sun. They believe eclipses are times when food rots, water stagnates and generally uncool stuff goes down. Hindu people are urged to spend this time fasting, meditating, repenting, and taking ritual baths. |
I feel cheated. D: I've never (to my memory) seen a solar eclipse before. XD;
|
I have never seen the solar eclipse, although i remember the day when one was visible in our area, it was nice and cloudy that day -.-'
But I did see the total lunar eclipse, which I personally think is way cooler anyway because the moon turns blood red as it's starting to become eclipsed =D |

... Ya know, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a ton of people on the streets panicking when it hits. D: But I think this is gonna be really cool. I don't think I've seen an eclipse that I can recall offhand.

Speaking of eclipses and things of that nature the planet Mars is going to be about the size of the moon at the end of August. It will be the closest Mars has been to earth in 5000 years. If I remember correctly it won't happen again for another 5000 years after that.

This will be my second solar eclipse. I just hope it isn't cloudy.

6 minutes without the sun eh. Well that sounds fun if not completely scary cause if it lasts longer...
|
Yey.
Our planet will be deprived of pure sun for 6 minutes... |
Oooh I've never seen a solar eclipse.. this should be interesting.
|
I've seen a solar eclipse before... But I only saw it when I was 7-8 ... But as far as I can recall, I think they are beautiful things to see.

Too bad I'm on the wrong side of the earth. :[ |
I've never seen an eclispe, lunar or solar. But I'm flying back to the States tommorrow...maybe I'll catch a glimpse...
We're gonna be devoid of sun for six minutes? It takes about eight minutes for light to reach us, right? |
I'm guessing that we won't see much from England, huh? D:
|
I've never seen a solar eclipse before. It looks amazing.
I have seen a full lunar eclipse, though. It was awesome. Aaand...the end of the world? I'm still confused about the 2012 thing. Weird. xD |
I saw a Solar eclipse when I was very little.
I'm looking forward to it! And, wait, 22nd? That's tomorrow! Dude, I gotta see this! |
