Missed Last Week's Eclipse? Here's Comes Another!

The first Lunar eclipse of the year took place on June 26. After having to wait nearly seven months for it, many of us are now looking ahead to 2010 solar eclipse number two, which is coming up on July 11.

Pankaj Lakhotia of StockWatch (yes, many believe that the Moon has an effect on the stock market) has more details:

The lunar eclipse [June 26] was seen from the Americas, the Pacific Ocean and eastern Asia; however it was only a partial eclipse of the moon. The lunar eclipse occurs when moon comes behind the Earth and thus is not exposed to light of the sun.

The coming solar eclipse will create a total eclipse along a narrow line in the southern hemisphere. A solar eclipse occurs when Earth, moon and sun come in a single line and moon comes between the Earth and the Sun.
