Solar Eclipse 2010 in America – Total Solar Eclipse

Solar Eclipse 2010 in America

During the year 2010, two solar and two lunar eclipses could occur. The second Solar Eclipse of the year will be tomorrow, July 11, 2010.

On Sunday, 2010 July 11, a total eclipse of the Sun is visible from within a narrow corridor that traverses Earth’s southern Hemisphere. The path of the Moon’s umbral shadow crosses the South Pacific Ocean where it makes no landfall except for Mangaia (Cook Islands) and Easter Island (Isla de Pascua). The path of totality ends just after reaching southern Chile and Argentina. The Moon’s penumbral shadow produces a partial eclipse visible from a much larger region covering the South Pacific and southern South America.
