Solar Eclipse July 2010


This solar eclipse event could be seen on Easter Island on Monday July 12, 2010. Why is it that the solar eclipse can only be seen on a very small portion of Earth? There is a name for the eclipse picture that is shown here. Can you name it?

  2. That's so cool! I want to see an elipse really badly... now that i saw the picture and video, i understand that an eclipse is when the sun is directly behind the moon, but the sun still shows because it's bigger... right?
