ECLIPSE coming to the USA!
Incredible opportunity for MILLIONS, (see information near the bottom of this page).
Total Solar Eclipse
Nowadays, with modern affordable (well sort of for some of us) air travel, you can see and experience a real total solar eclipse in person.
You can even book to go on a cruise ship if the area of maximum is over water! Imagine the thrill of being exactly in the area of totality, so awesome. It must surely be something that cannot be really recorded with just a camera. To experience it in person with your own eyes is the way to go!
Bookmark this valuable page to keep track of ALL future solar eclipses.
There are many kinds of eclipses - total solar, partial solar, annular, and lunar, to name the most common few. Partial eclipses are pretty common, and you very well may have been a part of one of those.
Lunar eclipses happen at night, and they can be seen by half the world at the same time. But they are so BORING! Sorry, but it's like watching paint dry - OMG.
Annular eclipses are much rarer, but you need to have special filters to see them, so many people don't even know they're going on.
But a TOTAL eclipse -- these are extremely rare, extremely beautiful, and the bare-eye view of totality is absolutely unmistakable to anyone in the THIN tiny path! They are the ultimate kings of eclipses, with nothing else able to stand in comparison to!
Please scroll down to see upcoming events.
Detailed information about each and every upcoming eclipse will be posted.
As the event becomes closer, flight and cruise information will be posted here.

July 22, 2009 Eclipse from INDIA
Total Solar Eclipse 2009 - Varanasi, India
A once-in-a-lifetime experience! A trip to Varanasi to watch the total eclipse of the sun. The weather was great - brutally hot during the day, but not all that bad at 6:30 in the morning. It didn't rain during the eclipse, and the clouds were luckily quite cooperative. But the crowds were intense. Two people died in a stampede after the eclipse.

TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE as seen from the other side of the WORLD. The eclipse will be visible from a narrow corridor through northern India, eastern Nepal, northern Bangladesh, Bhutan, the northern tip of Myanmar, central China and the Pacific Ocean, including the Ryukyu Islands, Marshall Islands and Kiribati. It will be the longest eclipse of the 21st century, lasting as much as 6 minutes, 39 seconds in parts of the south Pacific Ocean. Solar eclipses have been observed throughout history, and the superstitious and religious view them as a sign of potential doom . Ancient eclipse records made in China and Babylonia are believed to be over 4,000 years old, and there is evidence that the ancient Egyptians observed solar eclipses over 4,500 years ago. The ancient Chinese believed that solar eclipses occur when a legendary celestial dragon devours the Sun. Hindu Mythology also believes the sun gets eaten during a solar eclipse. In India, many Hindus won't eat because they believe food becomes impure without the sun light as the number of germs increase. Expectant mothers don't want to have their babies on the day of an eclipse, and it is believed that unborn babies could develop birth defects if the mothers are outside during the event.

Total Solar Eclipse
August 21, 2017
See a total solar eclipse in the mainland US!
First total eclipse on American soil since 1991
First on the mainland since 1979
First to sweep across the entire country since 1918
The United States' 26-year dearth of Total Solar Eclipses is about to end! This rarity and beauty is why we are making all this fuss about the 2017 event, and it is why we want everyone to stop whatever they're doing on that day, get to the path, and be absolutely awe-struck and amazed for up to two-and-a-half minutes of totality.
"Only two and a half minutes? No way! I'm not even gonna waste my time for that!"
No, no - believe me - Get yourself there; get to the shadow, and see something you simply won't believe. You won't be wasting your time - not by a long shot.
Trust me.

- I remember seeing a partial eclipse in 1999 at mid-day when I was in the UK. It was strange as it went overcast, then dark breifly and the birds stopped chirping.
