Solar Eclipse 2010

On Sunday, 2010 July 11, a total eclipse of the sun will be visible from within a narrow corridor that traverses Earth's southern Hemisphere. The path of the Moon's umbral shadow crosses the South Pacific Ocean where it makes no landfall except for Mangaia (Cook Islands) and Easter Island (Isla de Pascua). The path of totality ends just after reaching southern Chile and Argentina. The Moon's penumbral shadow produces a partial eclipse visible from a much larger region covering the South Pacific and southern South America.

at 5:21 is what the sun really looks like or so i read its just that our human eyes are more sensitive to the blues and purples so we only see the suns other colors such as red orange and yellow so thats why we see it the way wee do instead of this so most people would see this sun strange

@Pigot98 The days are October 18, 2012 which is a Penumbral eclipse the next is April 15, 2014 which is a total eclipse and the other is September 28, 2015 which is a total eclipse. Those are the main eclipses to see clearly in BOTH Americas.

I saw the NASA website and the next total solar eclipse is going to be in 2017(or something around that) and you will be able to see it throughout the ENTIRE U.S. and South Cananada

@kitiesrock98 Ya, that's what I thought. I heard the only way you could actually witness it is if you were to watch it through a reflection or something.
