DTN News - GREETINGS: Happy New Year 2011 - Let There Be Peace On Earth, In Perfect Harmony....NSI News Source Info # 1385
Source: DTN News - - K. V. Seth(NSI News Source Info) SINGAPORE - December 30, 2010: We thank you for your patronage on DTN News, please continue to do so. In the interim, we wish you Season's Greetings and God Bless you All!
Some of the world will be able to greet the first part of the new year with a solar eclipse. On the morning of Tuesday, January 4, 2011, an eclipse of the Sun will be widely visible across Europe and as far east as India. The eclipse won’t be visible in North and South America, however. Jay Pasachoff of Williams College in the US is the Chair of the International Astronomical Union’s Working Group on Eclipses, and says that even at a maximum, this eclipse will be only partial, with some of the Sun always visible. Because the Sun is too bright to look at safely, Pasachoff stresses that special solar filters or projection methods should always be used to protect the eyes.
Pasachoff will be in Tel Aviv to view the eclipse, and since partial eclipses are usually not very scientifically useful, he is looking forward to just enjoying the eclipse instead of scrambling to set up various scientific equipment.
