Total Solar Eclipse 1 August 2008
Welcome back!
Warning – DO NOT ever observe the Sun through binoculars or ordinary telescopes – you will certainly damage your sight. Instead, project an image indirectly onto a piece of card.
There will be a total eclipse of the Sun tomorrow (as I write this), on the 1st August 2008.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon gets between the Sun and the Earth, casting a shadow on the surface of the Earth.
This is of course, a dramatic natural event. At locations on Earth where the Sun is totally obscured, day will briefly be turned into night.
Only certain Earth locations will experience the total eclipse. read on..
