Solar Eclipse Paths 2011-2020 1 by Mark I thought some of you might be interested in long term information on solar eclipse paths between now and 2020. To go with the data below here is a very useful new website on eclipses that Steven Birchfield notified me about. http://astro.ukho.gov.uk/eclbin/query_eo.cgi It gives an excellent visual representation of the actual eclipse path across the world. It also allows you to check visibility by city. This combined with the NASA site should meet all your needs on individual solar and lunar eclipses. The annular eclipse next May seems quite significant. Both for the Far East and the USA. The eclipse path goes right through California. I dont mean to be Dr Doom but could this indicate a major earthquake in California next year following this? It will also be a good year to practically test out the currently most popular national chart for the USA (Sibly) which in its most common variant has 12-13? Sagittarius rising. The June Cancer ingress (2012) is almost exactly on this degree 11'58? Sag while the Lunar Eclipse of June 4 2012 falls at 14? Sagittarius. An interesting build up to the Presidential elections in November 2012! With Scottish independence being discussed I am also intrigued to see a visible solar eclipse almost total in Scotland in March 2015.... Located to Edinburgh the ASC is on the Mars of the 1927 chart. However, this eclipse is really hammering the 1066 chart. This is used for England and the UK Royal family. The eclipse is exactly on the 1066 Moon. The Mars is on the 1066 ASC, Pluto on the 1066 Mercury and Saturn Rx square 1066 Pluto. This has all the hallmarks of a royal death. The website below is more detailed than my summary below but restricts itself to total solar eclipses. http://www.braeunig.us/eclipse/eclipses.html 25 Nov 2011 - Partial Solar Eclipse (Saros 123, umbral mag. 0.905, max. eclipse 06:20 UT partial: 04:23:14 UT to 08:17:16 UT) A partial eclipse will be visible over most of Antarctica, and barely visible in the extreme south of Africa and Tasmania. 20 May 2012 - Annular Solar Eclipse (Saros 128, umbral mag. 0.944, max. eclipse 23:53 UT annular: 22:06:17 UT on May 20 to 01:39:11 UT on May 21) The path crosses from China and Japan, across the north Pacific, into the western U.S.A.
