When can the sun stone be seen?

A total solar eclipse will occur around August 0 18: 20, 2008. At that time, Luoyang, Jiayuguan, Sanmenxia, Yuncheng and other cities across the country 10 will be able to see the spectacular sight of the total solar eclipse. The total solar eclipse process, that is, the sun is completely covered, will last for about 2 minutes. On July 22nd, 2009, a more spectacular total solar eclipse will occur in China. The total solar eclipse belt that occurred at 8 am on the same day will pass through the densely populated Yangtze River valley in China, and more than 40 cities including Nanjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Chengdu and Chongqing will be able to watch the total solar eclipse. Compared with the total lunar eclipse in 2008, the total lunar eclipse occurred in a wider range and lasted longer, reaching more than 5 minutes.

Zhu Jin, director of the Beijing Planetarium, said that solar eclipses can be divided into three types: total solar eclipse, partial solar eclipse and annular solar eclipse. Solar eclipse is a common astronomical phenomenon, which occurs almost every year, but it is sometimes visible and sometimes invisible due to the influence of time, place and weather. But spectacular total solar eclipse is rare. Since 1980s, there have been two total solar eclipses in China, one in Kunming, Guiyang and other southwest cities in 1980; One occurred in Mohe area of 1997. The total eclipse zones of these two total solar eclipses were very small, and the traffic conditions at that time were not very convenient. Therefore, not many people can see the astronomical phenomena of these two total solar eclipses.

There will be a continuous total solar eclipse in the next two years, whether it is the scope of the total solar eclipse belt or the time of the total solar eclipse, it is beneficial to public observation in China. By then, as long as the weather is fine, the public can feast their eyes.
