NEXT LUNAR ECLIPSE: Sunday, May 20 2012
It will be visible mostly in the west and southwest in the afternoon and early evening skies. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon gets directly between Earth and the sun. Sunday’s event will be an partial solar eclipse across most of the United States and Canada, and a more compelling annular solar eclipse for a narrow swath of residents in the West and Southwest. The sun sets before any of it will be visible from the East Coast, however.
Annular eclipses occur when the moon is at or near its farthest distance from Earth on it’s non-circular orbit.
Annular eclipses can be dramatic, but because they’re not total eclipses, they must be viewed with proper safety filters — looking at direct sunlight can damage your eyes.
