It's official, this year's solar eclipse will be one of the most spectacular site to witness across the globe. The problem is: will your current location be one of the most ideal place to view this phenomenon?
Since ancient times, depending on the originating land's culture, solar eclipses have often be viewed as impending signs which would often lead to "good" or "bad" outcomes or omens. Those who had the "ability" to predict these occurrences were often viewed as either prophets, wizards, gifted individuals with unknown powers, or in the worst instance, witches. Generally, based on historical and mthical legends, the latter were more often assumed to be the case (as they say, it's easier to believe in sorcery and black magic, as compared to mere scientific explanations).
Needless to say, science prevails these days and astrologists and scientists can easily explain to anyone how such solar eclipses can occur and not surprisingly, even estimating (read again, not guessing or predicting) when the next eclipse will take place, right up to the exact information on which part of the planet the population can have the best view.
So, how late are you going to stay up this time for the solar eclipse?
