I had a pretty good decade in the 1990s, into the 2000's, and I thought I'd write a sort of memoir-type book of my experiences. It's not done yet, and when it is, it'll be a little too much for a web site. But I've included here some of the excerpts that I thought would be interesting. There are many, many excellent web sites out there, with pictures that are much better than mine, and people who have seen more eclipses, professionals who know more, or can do the calculations, or etc., etc. But I guarantee you, there's no one out there who enjoys seeing an eclipse more than I do!

Decrypting the Eclipse
A Solar Eclipse, Global Measurements
and a Mystery
" During the total eclipses of the sun on June 30, 1954, and October 22, 1959, quite analogous deviations of the plane of oscillation of the paraconical pendulum were observed... " - Maurice Allais, 1988 Nobel autobiographical lecture.
August 6, 1999: The natural phenomenon of a solar eclipse has historic ally brought kings to assemble armies and, in the modern era, brought camera-toting astronomers to remote locations around the world. On August 11, a solar eclipse will bring scientists together in an effort to solve a 45-year mystery.
Right : When the Moon eclipses the Sun, the solar corona becomes visible. The corona is faint compared to the Sun, so it can only be seen when the Sun is blocked from view. Jean Bernard Leon Foucault, with the physicist Armand Fizeau, took the first clear photograph of the Sun in 1845. The mystery lies in the question: Does a solar eclipse somehow affect a Foucault pendulum? In 1954, Maurice Allais reported that a Foucault pendulum exhibited peculiar movements at the time of a solar eclipse. If true, his finding raises new questions about the nature of such phenomena.

MY SOLAR ECLIPSES
All images on this page are by
Gerard M Foley.
Most were taken on slide film (Kodachrome or Ektachrome) and scanned commercially into a PhotoCD. Others were taken with an Olympus D600L digital camera. All were finished for this webpage in PaintShopPro 5.01. To see a full size image, click on the thumbnail.
The first total eclipse I saw was in North Conway, NH, on August 31, 1932. Unhappily I have no pictures. Totality occurred in a "mackerel" sky, high thin clouds that afforded a fairly good view of the inner parts of the solar corona.
In 1954 our family went to Copper Harbor, Michigan, on the Keweenaw Peninsula in Lake Superior. This was the easternmost point in the United States on the path of totality of that year's solar eclipse. A few minutes before totality, the clouds which had covered the eastern horizon (in the first picture below) lifted, only to be replaced by the fog you see in the next two, taken just before and just after totality.
The "perfect eclipse" came in 1970, in Williamston, NC. On the left below are the dozens of optical instruments set up behind the Holiday Inn and the brilliant blue sky on the day of the eclipse. We could go into a motel room to see the eclipse in Mexico City on color television, then come out to see for ourselves. On the right are my wife and I and the 800mm. f8 lens with which I took the five frames below.
Here are the "diamond ring" at the beginning of totality, three successively longer exposures of the eclipsed sun, and the "diamond ring" at the end of eclipse.

Eclipses for 2008
THERE WILL BE FOUR eclipses in 2008, two of the Sun and two of the Moon. Solar eclipses are visible only in certain areas and require eye protection to be viewed safely. Lunar eclipses are technically visible from the entire night side of Earth, but during a penumbral eclipse, the dimming of the Moon's illumination is slight. FEBRUARY 7: annular eclipse of the Sun. This eclipse will not be visible from North America. FEBRUARY 20-21: total eclipse of the Moon. The entire eclipse can be seen from eastern and central North America. The Moon enters Earth's umbral shadow on February 20 at 8:43 P.M. EST, and the eclipse becomes total at 10:01 P.M. EST. Totality ends at 10:52 P.M. EST, and the umbral phase ends at 12:09 A.M. EST on February 21. The penumbral phase (only) will occur over western North America, at the time of moonrise; it will be difficult to see changes in the Moon's appearance. AUGUST 1: total eclipse of the Sun. In North America, totality will be visible only from arctic Canada. The partial phase will be visible from extreme northeastern areas of North America, where the Sun will rise partially eclipsed. AUGUST 16: partial eclipse of the Moon.

Introduction
A Total Eclipse of the Sun is spectacular. Anybody who has experienced nature's most awesome and unusual phenomenon never forgets it. We have met people who have seen total eclipses by accident and their reaction is always one of amazement. Although the entire eclipse can last for a couple of hours, the spectacular total phase lasts only for a few minutes. The maximum duration of totality is just over seven and a half minutes. For any one location, total eclipses of the sun occur rarely; on average, once every 410 years or so. In our home city, London , the last two total eclipses of the Sun occurred in the years 878 and 1715; the next is not due until 2151! In a larger area, they are more common. For England, the last was in 1999 and the next in 2090. For the Earth as a whole, total solar eclipses occur roughly seven or eight times every ten years. If we are to see one we must travel. Kryss has now experienced ten; Talaat seven. One of those was clouded out but was still worth being present for.

In the last animation , you may have noticed times when the moon moved between the Earth and the Sun. When this happens, the moon blocks some of the sun's light that would ordinarily hit the earth-the moon casts a shadow on the earth. If your green city is in the moon's shadow, you'll see the sun being blocked! What the sun, moon, and earth are doing. What you would see from your green city In this animation, the left frame shows a situation from the last animation where the moon has moved between the sun and the earth. AND, your green city has rotated in a position to witness this event! The right frame shows you what you would see from your green city, looking up at the sun.

34. Eclipse-Chasers.Com
Astronomy web site about solar and lunar eclipses.
http://www.eclipse-chasers.com/
Welcome to
Why see an Eclipse? A total solar eclipse is one of the most amazing astronomical sights one can see. In the field of terrestrial based astronomy there is little that compares to the wonderful interplay of orbital mechanics, cosmic coincidence, and spectacular dynamic views. For a few scant minutes the bright solar disk is completely covered by the moon; the sky is dark; brilliant sunset colors light up the horizon; the sun's corona shines around the inky lunar disk looking like a giant eye floating in the heavens; bright stars and planets are visible; then the diamond ring appears; some cheer; some cry; it is beautiful to behold. Why chase an Eclipse? A total eclipse of the sun is only visible along a thin 100 kilometer wide line slicing across the surface of the Earth. That means you don't have a great chance of seeing one by just staying in one place. You need to travel to the path of the shadow. Those of us that travel with our telescopes and cameras to that thin line in order to see eclipses are commonly known as Eclipse Chasers . These web pages are about adventures around the world to see the greatest show in astronomy. If you are an eclipse chaser please consider

History of eclipses, from fear to fascination, from a pamphlet produced by a cruise company.

hiding the light of the shining Sun,
and sore fear came upon men.

Being slain because they could not spy

Speculation on the study of Stonehenge have continued unabated from the time that it was first mentioned in the literature shortly after the Norman Conquest (1066). Evidence indicates that Stonehenge, built during the same era as the Great Pyramid of Egypt, was a brilliantly conceived astronomical observatory. Certain holes were apparently used as an eclipse predictor. "And on that day," says the Lord God, "I will make the Sun go down at noon, and darken the Earth in broad daylight." This eclipse is confirmed by an Assyrian historical record known as the

Viewing Eclipses of the Sun and Transits of Planets across the Sun
Whenever the Sun is to be observed safe viewing methods must be used. Any attempt to view the Sun directly could result in instant blindness. The safest way is to project the image of the Sun onto a suitable screen. Alternatively a suitable, specially designed, Solar filter may be placed in front of the telescope. It is NOT safe to use a filter at the eyepiece as the focussed heat from the Sun could shatter it. If unsure of safe methods consult your local astronomical society about suitable ways of observing Solar events.
ECLIPSES DURING 2007
There are four eclipses during 2007, two each of the Sun and Moon. Both Solar eclipses are partial, neither being visible from New Zealand. In both cases the central line of the eclipse just misses the Earth. The two eclipses of the Moon are both total, the second on August 28 is potentially the best since the year 2000. The first total lunar eclipse, on March 3, will be best observed in its entirety from Africa and Europe. No part is visible from New Zealand.

Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Book 18:
Eclipses
Volume 2, Book 18, Number 150: Narrated Abu Bakra: We were with Allah's Apostle when the sun eclipsed. Allah's Apostle stood up dragging his cloak till he entered the Mosque. He led us in a two-Rakat prayer till the sun (eclipse) had cleared. Then the Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of someone's death. So whenever you see these eclipses pray and invoke (Allah) till the eclipse is over." Volume 2, Book 18, Number 151: Narrated Abu Masud: The Prophet said, "The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of the death of someone from the people but they are two signs amongst the signs of Allah. When you see them stand up and pray." Volume 2, Book 18, Number 152: Narrated Ibn 'Umar: The Prophet said, "The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of the death or life (i.e. birth) of someone but they are two signs amongst the signs of Allah. When you see them offer the prayer." Volume 2, Book 18, Number 153:
