Did anyone see yesterday's solar eclipse?
It affected the southern part of the United States from southern Oregon all the way to Texas. I saw that event on Ustream.
Dubbed Saros 128, Member 53 (ascending mode), the moon started to block light from the sun starting at around 5:11 PM here with the total eclipse occurring around 6:28 PM and peaking at around 6:30 PM. The eclipse officially ended at 7:46 PM...thus lasting for more than 2½ hours.
The next solar eclipse, the Saros 133, Member 45 will be on 13 November 2012 with the one here in the western part of the United States known as Saros 145, Member 22, will not occur until 21 August 2017.
The last time a solar eclipse of this nature occurred was on 10 May 1994 when Solar Saros 128, Member 57 affected Baja California, Mexico, the United States and the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Nova Scotia.
