Total Sun Eclipse was seen from Brazil to Mongolia

#1 Postby cycloneye » Tue Mar 28, 2006 7:22 pm

On wednesday it will be seen from Brazil to Mongolia.

My only experience looking at a total eclipse was on Febuary 26,1998 when 90% of the sun went dark.I saw the change of the sky turning more gray but not totally dark.Some dogs barked at that time.THe next chance for Puerto Rico and North America to see a total Eclipse will be at 2017.

It would be very cool to see one here in North America. The last one I remember seeing was when I was in the second grade and that was in 1992. It was just a partial but was still very cool when it got darker then normal out.

I've never seen a total eclispe but did get to see an Annular Eclispe were 99.5% of the sun was blocked. The coolest thing was seeing a couple of the brighter stars out during the middle of the day. It also got cooler since the suns rays were blocked......MGC

I've never seen a total Solar eclipse but I've seen 2 partial ones. I would love to see a total solar eclipse in person. I have seen 2 total Lunar eclipses though.
