The next Total Solar eclipse visible in Canada is August 1, 2008 in Nunavut. \n\nYour best bet would be to book a cruise since much of the eclipse is over water.\n\nHere are two links to travel groups planning to cruise this eclipse.

The midnight sun is a phenomenon occurring in latitudes north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle where the sun is continuously visible for at least 24 hours once per year. Since there are no permanent human settlements south of the Antarctic Circle, the countries and territories whose population experiences it are limited to Alaska, northern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, northern Norway, Sweden and Finland, and extremities of Russia such as Novaya Zemlya and the cities of Murmansk, Norilsk and Vorkuta. A quarter of Finland's territory lies above the Arctic Circle, and as a consequence the midnight sun can be experienced — for more and more days, the further north one goes. At Finland's northernmost point, the sun does not set for 73 days during summer.

There are two types of eclipses. Solar and lunar. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun.  A lunar eclipse is when the Earth casts it's shadow on the moon, basically the Earth passes between the sun and the moon.

Do you mean this: Forest fires black out the sun over portions of Canada and New England. A Blue moon (in the astronomical sense) is seen as far away as Europe.?

On Wednesday, 2006 March 29, a total eclipse of the Sun will be visible from within a narrow corridor which traverses half the Earth.

This happens every day... The sun is always visible to us on Earth.  Only durring a solar eclipse is the sun not visible to us.  And the stars are always there but you can't see them with the sun becuase the sun out shines the ohter stars.

Well, in our case it does. Our town was very much excited when a total solar eclipse more than ten years ago, specifically October 25, 1995. I was a child back then but the hype turned me on and in fact, it was a wonder seeing the moon cover the sun from a colored film strip. It was only worth for a couple of minutes but it was awesome! I could also see that the sky became darker a bit. Much like a once in a lifetime affair.

I would expand this to say that a lunar eclipse occurs when the earth is positioned directly between the sun and the moon, and their plane of orbits align.\n\nThe last point is critical because you could easily wonder why we don't have lunar eclipses every month when the moon's orbit is such that the earth is in the middle... because the order of the planets is not only important, but that they line up just exact so that the earth's shadow does not fall just above or below the moon, but directly on it.

Soon! From June 10-21, we should see the June Lyrids meteor shower in the northern hempisphere\n\nhttp://comets.amsmeteors.org/meteors/showers/june_lyrids.html\n\nA site with great info on comets and meteor showers is http://comets.amsmeteors.org/index.html (BTW, you should see the Shoemaker 1 comet tonight)\n\nAlso, for stars in general, I highly reccommend \nhttp://skyandtelescope.com/observing/\n\nIt has a really great interactive map function... also, they offer a customised star chart, v cool!\nhttp://skyandtelescope.com/observing/skychart/article_1220_1.asp\n\nHope that helps!

full moon.  a lunar eclipse occurs when the earth blocks the light from the sun, so the earth is positioned between the sun and moon - the full moon phase.

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 Earth. A total solar eclipse is considered by many to be the most spectacular natural phenomenon that one can observe.\n\nHow scientist know that there is going to be an eclipse? because they know the line of path the moon and earth is moving and its speed and stuffs.

This question could be very easily answered by looking up solar eclipses somewhere such as Wikipedia. \n\nA solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the Earth and Sun, causing people on Earth to be completely or partially unable to see the sun, because the moon is in the way. This is able to happen in spite of the fact that the moon is much smaller than the sun, because while the sun is about 400 times bigger than the moon, it is also 400 times farther away from the Earth than the moon is. \n\nThe reason that a solar eclipse can only happen during the new moon is that the new moon phase is the only time when the moon is in between the Earth and Sun at all.

Perihelion (nearest to earth) this year is July 3rd, Aphelion (furthest away from earth) was January 4th. The orbit is an ellipse.\n\nThe seasons are not caused by the orbit being elliptical but by the tilt of the earth's axis. So whichever hemispehere's summer it coincides with is coincidental and not a consequence of the distance from the sun varying throughout the year..\n\nNor does the sun being highest in the sky at mid-day have anything to do with the distance it is from the earth. It does not recede in the afternoon and approach nearer again the next day as seems to be implied.\n\nThere is one perihelion and one aphelion per orbit ie per year.\n\nHere's the next 6:\n\n2007                        \nPerihelion  Jan   3 \nAphelion    July  7 \n\n2008                       \nPerihelion  Jan   3 \nAphelion    July  4 \n\n2009                        \nPerihelion  Jan   4 \nAphelion    July  4 \n\nThe corresponding words for the moon's elliptical orbit round the earth are Perigee and Apogee. There is one of each every lunar month.  Here are the next 5\n\nPERIGEE Apr 25 363735 km  \nAPOGEE May  7  404571 km   \nPERIGEE May 22 368614 km\nAPOGEE Jun  4  404079 km  \nPERIGEE Jun 16 368925 km\n\nDistances are from the centre of the earth to the centre of the moon

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.\n\nThere are four types of solar eclipses:\n\n1.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 visible only from a fairly narrow track on the surface of the Earth. \n2.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 surrounding the outline of the Moon. \n\n3.A hybrid eclipse is intermediate between a total and annular eclipse. At some points on the Earth it is visible as a total eclipse; whereas at others it is annular. The generic term for a total, annular or hybrid eclipse is a central eclipse. \n\n4.A partial eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon are not exactly in line, and the Moon only partially obscures the Sun. This phenomenon can usually be seen from a large part of the Earth outside of the track of a central eclipse. However, some eclipses can only be seen as a partial eclipse, because the central line never intersects the Earth's surface.

I live down here in Wyoming and so you and I would see the sunrise at just about the same time. The crux of your question is, however, what day of the year?

Albert Einstein.\n1. In 29 march 1919 was a total eclipse of the Sun. The Royal Astronomical Society sent two expeditions one in Brazil and the other in Guinea to check the German scientist Albert Einstein theory, that the light of the stars is deviated by the Sun gravitational field. The results show a deviation of 1,75 seconds of arc, when Albert Einstein calculated a deviation of 1,70 seconds of arc. After 33 years in 1952 when they used a better equipment the results matched Albert Einstein`s calculation.\n2. Albert Einstein convinced the President of the United States  F.D.Rooswelt, about the emergency  of developing the A-bomb because the German scientist had the means and the material to make one before the Americans.
