Does anyone know when the next solar eclipse will happen on the east coast?
Question:
Answer:
Actually Thole Pin is wrong. He gave the next date for the next lunar eclipse, which will be on that date just early in the morning. The next SOLAR eclipse, however, will not be until the year 2017. A solar eclipse is when the Moon blocks the light of the sun from earth, and casts its shadow on our planet. It occurs during a NEW MOON, and is different from a LUNAR ECLIPSE, which occurs during a full moon and is when the Earth blocks the light from the Sun on the moon, casting its shadow on the moon. That is what occurred last night, and will occur in August of 2007. We'll have to wait until August 21, 2017 though for the next solar eclipse in America.
