Many people today are worrying about the date December 21, 2012. Researchers have predicted that at least 3 eclipses may take place on that year. The article is about an total eclipse that happened on Sunday July 11, 2010. The eclipse started north of New Zealand and ended at the southernmost tip of South America. The eclipse lasted a little over 5 minutes. The event would not be as visible as the eclipse that occurred in China, in 2009. The Sunday eclipse wasn't very visible, only to a few people, since it passed mostly through the Pacific Ocean. An eclipse expert named Jay Pasachoff reported that "...this will be one of the least observed eclipses ever." Even though, this eclipse was one to at least keep in the mind for a while.
An eclipse is a magnificent part of science. Eclipses are not as rare, but they don't happen as often. This article relates to science concepts, such as eclipse, the corona, the Sun's magnetic fields, lunar disk, and the environment that is experiencing the event. An eclipse is when a celestial object, moves into another celestial object. In this eclipse, the Moon moved into the shadow of the Earth's surface. The corona is like the outer part of the sun, that looks like a crown. The corona has an inner and outer visibility. The inner part can look like yellow with crimson like colors (red, orange etc.). The outer part looks like a white halo that extends far out into space. The lunar disk is the black "circle" that covers the sun. The sun has magnetic fields. Magnetic fields are forces that are made by a magnetic object or particle. The Sun, is a star that is in the center of the solar system.
Eclipses are very important, especially when the Sun is involved. The Sun is the center of all life on Earth. This article was put on the magazine because this eclipse gives us a preview of what may happen in the next two years. Although this eclipse wasn't as great as all the others in the past, we can be sure that something like that will happen. We should care about this event because in the worst case scenario, the Earth may experience a total blackout that may change the Earth in astonishing ways. Eclipses may literally, change our waters, all the species, and our Earth. We should all keep this event in our mind somewhat. Who knows, maybe we will need it for future reference. Even though this event happened only a couple of days ago, let's make sure that in the future, the next eclipses won't last more than 5 minutes!!!
