On April 8th 2005 there will be an annular-total solar eclipse, which
will be visible only annular on the short path on mainland.
Annular-total solar eclipses come about if the moon is at the time of the eclipse in such a distance from earth that its umbral shadow just reaches earth. Then, because of earths spherical shape, the umbra just touches earth at mid eclipse, but it does not reach the earth at the global beginning and at the end of eclipse. In the picture at left those regions in the path of central eclipse where the eclipse is total are blue, whereas those regions where an annular eclipse is visible are red. |
