3 Largest total solar eclipse in the 3rd millennium, with a magnitude of 1.08074 [140] 4 Very close to the theoretical maximum. 5 "Crowning" this series. This is predicted to be the longest eclipse during the current 10,000-year period, from 4000 BC to 6000 AD (eclipse predictions by Fred Espenak, NASA/GSFC.DEPP). [141] 6 "Crowning" this series.
During the solar eclipse of 2017, Perry County saw 2 minutes and 40 seconds of totality and welcomed over 17,000 visitors, said Trish Erzfeld, director of Perry County Heritage Tourism.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring the view of the Sun from a small part of Earth, totally or partially.Such an alignment occurs approximately every six months, during the eclipse season in its new moon phase, when the Moon's orbital plane is closest to the plane of Earth's orbit.

18.999 eclipse years (38 eclipse seasons of 173.31 days) 238.992 anomalistic months; 241.029 sidereal months; The 19 eclipse years means that if there is a solar eclipse (or lunar eclipse), then after one saros a new moon will take place at the same node of the orbit of the Moon, and under these circumstances another solar eclipse can occur.
Before 2017, it had been more than three decades since the last total solar eclipse was visible from the U.S. in 1979. But just because this once-in-a-lifetime event is happening twice within a ...
This eclipse is a member of a semester series. An eclipse in a semester series of solar eclipses repeats approximately every 177 days and 4 hours (a semester) at alternating nodes of the Moon's orbit. [10] The partial solar eclipses on February 15, 2018 and August 11, 2018 occur in the previous lunar year eclipse set.
During the last solar eclipse in 2017, Mic interviewed multiple self-identified Flat Earthers who claimed the eclipse’s path and the moon’s shadow size indicated that the planet is flat and ...
This eclipse is a part of Saros series 133, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, and containing 72 events. The series started with a partial solar eclipse on July 13, 1219. It contains annular eclipses from November 20, 1435 through January 13, 1526; a hybrid eclipse on January 24, 1544; and total eclipses from February 3, 1562 through June 21, 2373.
