Lunar Solar Eclipse Date: July 11
Solar Eclipse is a lunar event observed by Asian countries.
The solar eclipse is said to take place on July 11th 2010. It can be clearly seen in the Northern region of India, Nepal and other neighboring countries. Central China is the only place where the totality of the eclipse maybe seen. The Solar Eclipse about to occur on July 11, 2010 is going to be the longest eclipse of the 21st century. This solar eclipse is expected to be equivalent in time length of the July 11, 1991 solar eclipse.
Lunar Solar Eclipse Facts
Many scientists and other sky watchers have been waiting for this very day for too long. It is more like a once in a lifetime opportunity for all those interested in this field. Many arrangements have been made in the Bonin Islands near which the totality of the eclipse stays for the longest time of 6 minutes 39 seconds. Its is anticipated that the eclipse will take place exactly on July 22, 2009 on which the maximum eclipse can be witnessed at 02:35:21 GMT.
The totality will remain for a long time and the effect of the sun light during this time is very intense. Seeing this eclipse with the bare eyes is absolutely dangerous and insane. It is recommended to use quality preventive measures to protect your eyes. The sun’s rays during the partial, annular or total eclipse are completely dangerous. The small blinding light during the eclipse can be so bright and intense that it can cause several injuries to the retina of the eyes or can even cause blindness. The effect cannot be felt as soon as the incident, but may take several hours to be damaged.
Lunar Solar Eclipse Theories
There have been predictions made about earthquakes and tsunamis happening during the eclipse. A software developer for gaming Physics has come up with certain predictions which state that there may be chances of a major Tsunami caused near Japan during or after the eclipse. His theory states that the power of the eclipse has enough potential to cause a tectonic uplift of the ocean in the southern side of Japan and which can be a major cause for a tsunami to rise up as soon as the eclipse passes away. A few scientists disapprove this and consider that this might be just a misleading prediction about the effect of the eclipse. Theorists and scientists of the mainstream have stated that there exists no relationship between eclipses and tsunamis or earthquakes.
