Lunar Eclipse-12/31/2009 

 Namaste,

 I have heard that there is partial lunar eclipse on 12/31/2009 and  solar eclipse on 01/15/2010.

I would like to know if these eclipses effect MN and if so between what timings?

Thank you very much for your help.

Re: Lunar Eclipse-12/31/2009 

On December 31, 2009, an partial lunar eclipse is visible in eastern hemisphere which is only from Australia, Asia, Europe and Africa.

On Friday, 2010 January 15, an annular eclipse of the Sun is visible from within a 300-km-wide track that traverses half of Earth. The path of the Moon's antumbral shadow begins in Africa and passes through Chad, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Kenya, and Somalia. After leaving Africa, the path crosses the Indian Ocean where the maximum duration of annularity reaches 11 min 08 s. The central path then continues into Asia through Bangladesh, India, Burma (Myanmar), and China. A partial eclipse is seen within the much broader path of the Moon's penumbral shadow, which includes eastern Europe, most of Africa, Asia, and Indonesia.

Both of these eclipses are not visible in USA.Hope this helps.

Thanks
Baskar
