La Tierra gira alrededor del Sol en aproximadamente 365 días sobre un plano llamado la Eclíptica (Cuyo nombre proviene por que es sobre este en donde ocurren los eclipses), que esta inclinado 7º con respecto al Ecuador Solar. La Luna por su parte gira alrededor de la Tierra en un plano cuya inclinación con respecto a la eclíptica es de 5º. Como todas la órbitas planetarias la lunar es elíptica. El punto donde se encuentra mas alejada de la Tierra se denomina apogeo y el punto mas cercano perigeo y la línea que los une se denomina línea de los apsides -apside es la parte mas extrema de una órbita-. Los lugares en donde la órbita de la Luna corta la de la Tierra se denominan nodos que son dos: ascendente y descendente. Estos sitios de de intersección cambian debido a otros movimientos del plano Lunar y este fenómeno se conoce como regresión de los nodos que completa un ciclo en 18.61 años. La línea que los une se denomina línea de los nodos Los eclipses lunares y solares ocurren como consecuencia de la revolución de la Luna alrededor de la Tierra.

103. The Work Of Velikovsky
Excerpt from a book by Robert R. Newton, focusing on eclipses and Velikovsky's chronology.
http://hbar.phys.msu.su/gorm/fomenko/newtvelk.htm
The Work of Velikovsky
According to Velikovsky Velikovsky [pp. 334ft] emphasizes that 30 days is not a mere approximation to 29.53 days, and that the month was almost exactly 30 days at that time. Venus was left in a highly elliptic orbit. Parker Velikovsky [p. 333] the year at this time was even shorter than 360 days. During the second period, the earth had two or more near-collisions with Mars, and Velikovsky As Velikovsky This shows vividly the danger in taking a passage out of context, or of considering only one passage without examining the implications of other similar passages. For example, as we saw in Section II.3, in a year near +30, there was darkness over the earth for three hours, the curtain of the temple (in Jerusalem) was rent in two, the earth shook, and rocks were split and tombs torn open. In AAO [p. 78], I discussed a passage from the Song of Roland about what happened at the death of Roland. There was immeasurable rain and hail These passages provide almost exact parallels to the passage from Joshua. In particular, in all three passages we have an event that is impossible according to orthodox astronomy. The main difference is that the event is the stopping of the sun and moon in Joshua while it is an impossible eclipse in the other passages . Thus, if we accept Velikovsky's argument that there must have been a near-collision of the earth with a massive body in the time of Joshua, there must have been other near-collisions around +30 and around 780, when Roland died. However, we have ample evidence that no such thing happened in or near 30 and 780. Therefore there is no basis for assuming such an event in the time of Joshua.

Eclipse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
This article discusses astronomical eclipses. For other meanings, see Eclipse (disambiguation)
An eclipse occurs when an astronomical body such as a planet , or satellite gets between a source of light (e.g. the Sun ) and another body. For instance, Jupiter eclipses its moons when it gets between them and the Sun. From Earth's point of view, eclipses can be:
  • Lunar eclipses - the Earth obscures the Sun, from the Moon's point of view. The Moon moves through the shadow cast by the Earth. This can only happen at full moon Solar eclipses - the Moon obscures the Sun, from the Earth's point of view. The Moon casts a shadow that touches the surface of the Earth. This can only happen at new moon
Total eclipses occur where the light source is totally blocked off by the eclipsing body. For total solar eclipses, the viewer is in the umbra part of the moon's shadow.

Eclipses Data Sheet
posted: 02:57 pm ET
11 November 1999
An eclipse occurs when one object gets in front of another, eclipsing it in the sky. An eclipse can be total or partial, depending on the alignment of the Sun, Moon and Earth. The shadow cast by an eclipse has two parts: the umbra, or total shadow; and the penumbra, or partial shadow.
Lunar eclipses (pictured above)
When Earth blocks the sunlight that normally reflects off the Moon, the result is a lunar eclipse, which can only occur at full moon. A total eclipse occurs when the Moon passes into the umbra , or total shadow of Earth. A partial eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through part of the umbra. A penumbral eclipse occurs when the Moon passes only through the penumbra , or partial shadow of Earth.
Solar eclipses
When the Moon blocks light from the Sun, casting a shadow on the Earth, it's called a solar eclipse. A solar eclipse can only occur at new moon. Solar eclipses occur over a narrow band of the Earth. The Sun is much larger and farther away than the Moon, but the apparent size of each is sometimes the same (depending on minor changes in distance based on non-circular orbits). When this is the case, a total eclipse can occur. If a thin ring of the sun surrounds the moon, it is called an annular eclipse. In a partial solar eclipse, the moon covers only a portion of the Sun, giving it a crescent shape.

NASA Rovers Watching Solar Eclipses By Mars Moons
Though the Viking Landers in the 1970s observed the shadow of one Mars' two moons, Phobos, moving across the landscape, and Mars Pathfinder in 1997 observed Phobos emerge at night from the shadow of Mars, no previous mission has ever directly observed a moon pass in front of the sun from the surface of another world. The current rovers began their eclipse-watching campaign this month. Opportunity's panoramic camera caught Mars' smaller moon, Deimos, as a speck crossing the disc of the sun on March 4. The same camera then captured an image of the larger moon, Phobos, grazing the edge of the sun's disc on March 7.
Rover controllers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Pasadena, Calif., are planning to use the panoramic cameras on both Opportunity and Spirit for several similar events in the next six weeks.
"Scientifically, we're interested in timing these events to possibly allow refinement of the orbits and orbital evolution of these natural satellites," Bell said. "It's also exciting, historic and just plain cool to be able to observe eclipses on another planet at all," he said.

Fear and Awe: Eclipses through the Ages
By Wil Milan

Let’s travel back for a moment to about 1200 BC, the time of the Shang dynasty in China. It’s early evening, and the full Moon has just risen in the east, bathing the black night in its bright glow. In this time before sidewalks, streetlights, headlights, and the glow of cities, the moonless night was truly dark, so dark that it was often dangerous to be outside at night. The blackness made it difficult to see the ground, and the dark gave cover to beasts and bandits that prowled the night. But a bright Moon dispelled the dark, and the radiant glow of a rising full Moon was as dramatic and as welcome as a sunrise. To the ancient Chinese that bright full Moon was warm and comforting, but as we watch the Moon rise higher in the east on this particular day so many centuries ago, something strange and ominous occurs: The Moon is darkening. Its bright disk is being consumed by darkness, a growing shadow the color of dried blood spreading across its face, threatening to devour the entire orb. As you watched the warm lunar light being extinguished and the Moon consumed by ominous darkness, what would you have thought? In that era predating popular astronomy and modern science, would you have been afraid, even terrified? Would you have feared for great destruction befalling the sky?

The total or partial obscuring of one heavenly body by another; a passing into the shadow of a heavenly body. An eclipse of the moon occurs when the earth is between the moon and the sun, thus depriving the moon of the sun's light. An eclipse of the sun occurs when the moon is between the sun and the earth. Man has always regarded the sun with awe and reverence, not only because it is seen to be the energy source of all life, but also because of its constancy and the inflexible reliability of the cycle of day and night. This diurnal cycle has been built into the evolutionary pattern of all living things so that they respond to sunset and sunrise as if remotely controlled by the sun itself. Sunset and dawn have become the natural regulators of our activities and rest periods. It is not surprising, therefore, that the sun should be treated with respect and even worshipped, because of the security that it inspires. It is because of the unfaltering cycle of the movement of the sun across the sky that we are peculiarly sensitive to any interruption that occurs. In the days when solar eclipses were not understood, these phenomena were the cause of great alarm and were generally ascribed to supernatural agency. Among the

The Moon is the Earth 's sole companion, orbiting at an average distance of 384,400km. It follows us on our path around the Sun , making one orbit of us (as seen against the background of stars) every 27 days, 7 hours, 43 minutes. This period is referred to as the sidereal month. The Moon's equatorial diameter measures 3,476km making it less than one third the diameter of the Earth

At other times the Moon's orbit takes it into the shadow cast by the Earth into space, causing a lunar eclipse. Unlike solar eclipses, Lunar eclipses are readily observed from large areas of the Earth 's surface, due to the greater extent of the Earth 's shadow than that of the Moon's.

Confessions of a Coronaphile T otal solar Eclipses are a bigger part of my life than I'd like to admit (a touch of mindless obsession lurks nearby.) But for those who have witnessed this most spectacular of natural events, no words are capable of expressing the awe, the goose bumps, the thrill of the chase, the indelible memories wrought by one of these beauties. By the most unlikely odds, earth's moon is nearly the same angular size as the sun, when they are viewed from the surfacehalf a degree (it varies only a few percent during the year.) This permits the moon's orb, when it's path crosses the sun's, to just barely block out the intense light from the sun completely, fitting the solar disk just inside the moon's craggier one.
When that happens, at least if you're lucky to be within the very narrow path the moon's shadow traces during the next few hours (or less), you will witness the day become near-night, like the deepest twilight. Sunset colors bathe the full horizon, while a gaping black hole gazes down at you from the inky sky, eye-like and surreal, surrounded by the solar

THREE years ago Apple Computer, as its name suggests, made only computers. Today its biggest-selling product is a portable music player. Last quarter, for the first time, Apple sold more iPods than Macs: more than 800,000 compared to just under 750,000. The iPod has established a whole new platform that cuts across operating systems. Even if you're a Windows user, chances are your next portable music player could be from Apple. And the iPod is a platform because it does more than just play music: it can act as a portable hard disk and voice recorder, it stores digital photos and plays games, and displays contacts and appointments.
