howdy all?
Today for a change, lets talk about an Eclipse without Robert Pattinson!!
LoL, I meant a real "Solar Eclipse", and this one was special because this was the first one of the new Year 2011.
The solar eclipse of January 4, 2011 was a partial eclipse of the Sun that was visible after sunrise over most of Europe and northwestern Asia. It ended at sunset over eastern Asia. It was visible as a minor partial eclipse over northern Africa and the Arabian peninsula.
Greatest eclipse occurred at 08:51 UTC in northern Sweden where the eclipse in the horizon had a magnitude of 0.858. At that time, the axis of the Moon's shadow passed a mere 510 km above Earth's surface.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A partial solar eclipse occurs in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon's shadow misses the Earth.
This was the first of four partial solar eclipses in 2011, with the others occuring on June 1, 2011, July 1, 2011, and November 25, 2011.
No more stories, Have a look at some of the finest images taken from across the world of the First Solar Eclipse of Year 2011.
