eclipse.jpg

From.... http://www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/solars...rthday2006.html, which has some cool pics and video.

This eclipse's path begins in Brazil and extends across the Atlantic Ocean, Northern Africa, and Central Asia where it ends at sunset in Northern Mongolia. A partial eclipse path, within the much broader path of the moon's penumbral shadow, includes the northern two thirds of Africa, Europe, and Central Asia.

In a total eclipse like this one, the entire central portion of the Sun is blocked out. The sky darkens as though it is nighttime and -- for the only time -- you can see the Sun’s corona, or outer atmosphere. Total solar eclipses are of special interest to astronomers because it's the only time they can study the corona. Scientists still don't understand why the corona is so hot. Its temperature is 1 to 2 million degrees Fahrenheit while the Sun's bright surface is only 10,000° F. Careful measurements and experiments made during a total eclipse can help to unravel this enigma.

This year's eclipse is also special because the total phase lasts over 4 minutes at the center of the path. This is quite long for a total solar eclipse since most last just a minute or two. The next total eclipse,on August 1, 2008, will be seen in northern Canada, Greenland, Siberia, Mongolia and northern China. It will last about 2 minutes. The next total eclipse visible from the United States won’t happen until August 21, 2017.

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).
