Solar eclipse of July 11, 2010

Solar eclipse of July 11, 2010
A total solar eclipse will occur on July 11, 2010. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring Earth's view of the Sun. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across the surface of the Earth, while a partial solar eclipse will be visible over a region thousands of miles wide.

The eclipse will be visible over much of the southern Pacific Ocean, touching several small islands including Tuamotu in French Polynesia and Easter Island, as well as the southern tips of Argentina and Chile in South America.

 

 

“As it crosses the Pacific, the total solar eclipse will also darken a handful of remote South Pacific islands, including Easter Island (Isla de Pascua)—about 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers) west of Chile”, reports National Geographic.

Because of the path of the eclipse is so remote, it will be seen by very few people.

This is going to eclipse Easter Island completely, look at this and tell me what did the mo'ai at Rano Raraku, Easter Island really see! What were they waiting for? I think they just wanted to see the beauty of a total lunar eclipse.
