APOD: 2005 April 7 - Solar Eclipse in View

APOD: 2005 April 7 - Solar Eclipse in View

Tomorrow we will have a not so common event. A Solar Eclipse. Click on the link above for a picture taken in November 2003 of another one. This picture on the left "was shot during the total eclipse of the Millennium on 1999 August 11 from Lake Hazar, Turkey."

This year's Solar Eclipse will be more visible "across the Pacific Ocean, beginning south of New Zealand and just ending in Venezuela." If you are in some location where it can be seen, be sure to take serious precautions. Please follow the instruction set on this page.

When I see these events from the Nature, that still today wonders all of us, I keep telling myself that the ancient people, that could not understand what was really happening up above, could only think that this could be a real sign of the end of the times...

Maybe it is, who knows... :) Just kidding!
