Hello my friend zhuhuifen46 Ji, Here is some more information about Solar eclipse:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse[b]"A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth so that the Sun is fully or partially covered. This can only happen during a new moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction as seen from the Earth. At least two and up to five solar eclipses can occur each year on Earth, with between zero and two of them being total eclipses.[1] Total solar eclipses are nevertheless rare at any location because during each eclipse totality exists only along a narrow corridor in the relatively tiny area of the Moon's umbra. A total solar eclipse is a spectacular natural phenomenon and many people travel to remote locations to observe one. The 1999 total eclipse in Europe helped to increase public awareness of the phenomenon, as illustrated by the number of journeys made specifically to witness the 2005 annular eclipse and the 2006 total eclipse. The recent solar eclipse of January 26, 2009 was an annular eclipse (see below), while the solar eclipse of July 22, 2009 was a total solar eclipse. In ancient times, and in some cultures today, solar eclipses have been attributed to supernatural causes. Total solar eclipses can be frightening for people who are unaware of their astronomical explanation, as the Sun seems to disappear in the middle of the day and the sky darkens in a matter of minutes."[/b]

I watched this on television last night and it was magnificant. Woww. So in answer it was yesterday. I am in England and did not see it. Hope a lot from here did. We had one a couple of years ago and not half as long as last nights but it still stays in the memory.

zhuhuifen, that's new to me.. do you have any examples beside the one happen yesterday? But anyway, just my humble opinion, if this happen, maybe that's because 1st day of the lunar month, is when the moon has a start of the reshaping?

I didn't there was an eclipse yesterday... i hope i know it so i could enjoy its scenery....
