An Annular Solar Eclipse over New Mexico Image Credit & Copyright: Colleen Pinski

Explanation: What is this person doing? In 2012 an annular eclipse of the Sun was visible over a narrow path that crossed the northern Pacific Ocean and several western US states. In an annular solar eclipse, the Moon is too far from the Earth to block out the entire Sun, leaving the Sun peeking out over the Moon's disk in a ring of fire. To capture this unusual solar event, an industrious photographer drove from Arizona to New Mexico to find just the right vista. After setting up and just as the eclipsed Sun was setting over a ridge about 0.5 kilometers away, a person unknowingly walked right into the shot. Although grateful for the unexpected human element, the photographer never learned the identity of the silhouetted interloper. It appears likely, though, that the person is holding a circular device that would enable them to get their own view of the eclipse. The shot was taken at sunset on 2012 May 20 at 7:36 pm local time from a park near Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. Tomorrow another annular solar eclipse will become visible, this time along a thin path starting in Saudi Arabia and going through southern India, Singapore, and Guam. However, almost all of Asia with a clear sky will be able to see, tomorrow, at the least, a partial solar eclipse.

Hello HOB, thank you so much for fantastic posts. I am literally refreshing your page. One thing, isnt USAs ascendant Gemini? I think that's what Simon C said. In a post today, you say it is Sagittarius. Thanks.

So there is no...automatic agreement on what time to use for the USA. I’ve heard various things. I’ve heard in India they use a Gemini ascendant, so perhaps that’s what Simon uses. I can’t speak for him, just speculating. 

If you ever get a copy of Nicolas Campion’s Book of World Horoscopes, there is an approximately ten-page discussion regarding various times for the USA’s chart. Some people use the Sibley chart, which is a 17:10 (5:10 pm) time on July 4th, which gives a Scorpio/Jyeshtha ascendant with the sidereal zodiac. (I think Western astrologers may use this one since it gives a Sagittarius ascendant with the Tropical zodiac, but I’m not entirely sure.) That doesn’t work for me. Also, if the US really has a Scorpio ascendant, then why aren’t there any presidents with Scorpio lagnas/ascendants? There haven’t been any from McKinley to the present. I’ve looked. 

I use what’s often referred to as the “Kelleher chart” for the USA. It’s basically the only one I’ve seen used. It was rectified by James Kelleher a few decades ago. I heard him briefly tell the story of how he came up with it. Basically he had a client in either the late 1980s or early 1990s commission him to do the chart of the US. This client paid him to work full time on it for an entire summer. You can imagine, forty hours a week or so researching and rectifying astrological information. When he finished, 04 July 1776 at 18:30 (6:30 pm) was the birth time he came up with. 

I think one comment that James Kelleher mentioned when he told this story was, “Why use July 4th? Why not the start of the first Continental Congress.” Or some other early date important to US history. I think he said that you can use those dates too and also draw up charts for them to use regarding the USA. However, he uses the 04 July 1776 at 18:30 when making predictions about the US because that is the chart he finds that works. 

I suspect James Kelleher published his rectification in an astrological journal in the late 1990s, but I’m not 100% on that. I’ve just noticed that Edith Hathaway mentioned in her book that she dates the Kelleher chart to the late 1990s. James dates it earlier than that, so I go with what he says because he’s the one who actually rectified this chart.

Anyhow, from what I’ve heard, a lot of Vedic astrologers in the US started using this chart after 11 September 2001 because there was an eclipse on the USA’s ascendant prior to 11 Sept 2001. Then Mars hit the eclipse point on 11 September. 

There was something similar that happened within the last year. Last December’s solar eclipse (on 26 December 2019) was basically on the USA’s ascendant in Sagittarius/Mula nakshatra. Then Mars came by and hit the eclipse point in February. Ever since Mars hit the eclipse point, the USA has had troubles with the coronavirus and its aftermath. 

Hence, I am a full believer in the Kelleher USA chart. 

P.S. I probably won’t be doing anymore big posts until another day.

ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE of 26 December 2019 Thursday, seen from Mumbai as Partial Solar Eclipse having 78.00% obscuration, shot during maximum eclipse at  UT 03:51:43.9 or IST 09:21 am.

The New Moon is in between the Sun and the Earth and the Moon’s shadow is casted on the Earth’s surface.

The easy way to remember is what gets darker!

The Sun gets darker during the solar eclipse and the Moon gets darker during the lunar eclipse.

Not many people living on the Earth have ever been in the path of totality (by that I mean, in the path of total solar eclipse). But if you happen to be in, then you have hit the jackpot! Because this same spot of the Earth will get its another total solar eclipse after 375 years!

The next Annular Solar Eclipse will be visible from North India on 21 June 2020.

The last photo shows crescent shaped sun casting crescent shaped shadows under a tree, during partial solar eclipse. The gaps between the leaves act as pinhole cameras, casting a moon-shaped shadow of the Sun.

Tips: Never watch the Sun with or without the eclipse with naked eyes or through any viewing equipments like binculars, telescope or camera’s viewfinder. The sun induced blindness is painless and one doesn’t know when it is happening and it is permanent. Projection techniques or pinhole camera both make the viewer look in the opposite direction of the sun, i.e.- the ground while viewing. So they are safe.  Click on the photos while using the PC / laptop to read their captions.

Rare 'ring of fire' solar eclipse seen across Asia, December 26, 2019

People gathered in different parts of Asia on Boxing Day to watch the annular solar eclipse, also known as a 'ring of fire'. The annular eclipse started from Dammam in Saudi Arabia and travelled across the Indian Ocean towards southern India and over the northern part of Sri Lanka and ended above the Pacific Ocean. There are usually two solar eclipses on Earth every year, and they occur only when the Earth is completely or partially in the Moon's shadow.

Fancy watching a dramatic solar eclipse to round-off Christmas Day?

For sky-watchers, space fans and nature-lovers across the world, it’s two Christmases in one this year as a rare annular solar eclipse strikes the Middle East and Asia—and you can watch it all online.

What is an annular solar eclipse?

An annular solar eclipse occurs when a New Moon is furthest from the Earth on its elliptical orbit, and on Christmas Day it will appear about one percent smaller in the sky. It can’t fully eclipse the Sun, and instead observers see a “ring of fire” or “ring of light” around the Moon. It’s essentially a pretty partial solar eclipse, and at all times observers need to wear protective solar eclipse glasses.

Where is the Christmas Day ‘Ring of Fire’ solar eclipse?

It’s happening along a path that’s 118 kilometres wide. It will be visible from Saudi Arabia—where the sun will rise as a “ring of fire”—Qatar, the UAE, Oman, southern India, northern Sri Lanka, the Indian Ocean, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and Guam, where the sun will set as a ring of fire. A partial solar eclipse will be visible across the Middle East, south-east Asia and Australia.

When is the Christmas Day ‘Ring of Fire’ solar eclipse?

A partial solar eclipse officially begins at 2:29 a.m. Universal Co-ordinated Time (UTC), though the “action” begins at 3:43 a.m. UTC as the sun rises as an annular solar eclipse in Saudi Arabia (at 6:43 a.m. local time). That’s the key sight for eclipse-chasers, and that’s what you want to try to see online. The “ring of fire” will last for 2 minutes 50 seconds in Saudi Arabia, but after its appearance at sunrise it will appear as a ring of fire across the world for a few minutes across the next three and a half hours. 

That converts to these times (you can convert for your location here): 

New York: 10:43 p.m. EST on Christmas Day (December 25, 2019) through 2:01 a.m. on Boxing Day (December 26, 2019)

Los Angeles: 7:43 p.m. through 11:01 p.m. PST on Christmas Day (December 25, 2019) 

London: 3:43 a.m. through 7:01 a.m. GMT on Boxing Day (December 26, 2019)

Where to stream the Christmas Day ‘Ring of Fire’ solar eclipse?

Although NASA doesn’t appear to have plans to cover this annular solar eclipse, there are a few live feeds on YouTube you can follow. 

Slooh will have host live feeds from the Middle East, India, and Singapore beginning at 6:30 p.m. PST/9:30 p.m. EST/2:30 UTC 

Here’s one (above) from Tharulowa Digital: Institute of Astronomy Sri Lanka.

It’s also worth checking-out Timeanddate.com’s live feed on YouTube.

Are there any annular solar eclipses in 2020? 

On June 21, 2020 a much deeper 99% annular solar eclipse—itself a very rare event—will see the Moon block the Sun for just over a minute (maximum). Visible from the Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Yemen, Oman, Pakistan, India, Tibet, China, Taiwan and Guam, eclipse-chasers will likely head for the clear skies of Oman and the high altitudes of Tibet for that one.

Is there a total solar eclipse in 2020?

Yes. On December 14, 2020 a total solar eclipse comes to southern Chile and northern Patagonia in Argentina. For 2 minutes 9 seconds eclipse-chasers within a narrow path of totality will get to experience darkness in the day and glimpse the Sun’s mighty white corona, its hotter outer atmosphere. If you want to experience it, start planning now.
