Solar Eclipse


Solar Eclipse Friday to Fascinate Millions

Thu Jul 31


A total eclipse of the sun Friday should fascinate millions of lucky skywatchers in Greenland, Siberia, Mongolia and China.


If the weather cooperates, people along a narrow path who venture out and look up will see stars during the day as the sun is gradually devoured and ultimately blotted out by the moon.
Unlike ancient times, when eclipses were viewed as bad omens in many cultures, fewer people should be expecting doom this time around.
