Total solar eclipse in 2017: date, place

A total solar eclipse is an extremely amazing thing. This is a real event in the world of astronomy. And ordinary people are happy to watch this amazing phenomenon with all their eyes when they get such an opportunity. And there are people who "hunt" for total solar eclipses.

Every year they travel the planet from one country to another in pursuit of a truly delightful sight. Witnesses of solar eclipses with full confidence claim that, at least once in a lifetime, everyone should see this phenomenon.

Americans will be able to observe such a phenomenon for the first time in 40 years. This phenomenon has already been dubbed the Great American Eclipse. Scientists estimate that about 200 million Americans from South Carolina to Oregon will be able to see this rare astronomical phenomenon. In fact, the United States has become a "monopoly" on this eclipse: it will be fully visible only on the territory of this country.

Localities are already fully preparing for the upcoming event, because they will have to receive hordes of tourists and everything needs to be done to make the guests comfortable. The authorities of the cities where the eclipse will be observed are planning to hold multi-day celebrations.

Where can you see the eclipse in 2017?

Fun fact: Carbondale will see the first of two total solar eclipses in 2017 and the second in 2024. That is, Carbondale will become the place where there will be two total solar eclipses in 7 years.

Unfortunately, in most of vast Russia, the solar eclipse of 2017 will not be visible. You will be lucky enough to contemplate the partial phases of a solar eclipse only on the Chukchi Peninsula and in the extreme north-east of Russia.

On August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse will occur and it will become the 22nd eclipse of the 145th Saros. The best view of this phenomenon will open from the subtropical and middle latitudes of the northern hemisphere. The peak of the solar eclipse, which will last 2 minutes 40 seconds, will fall on a point with the following coordinates: 37 ° N. 87.7 ° W And the width of the satellite's shadow on the Earth's surface will be as much as 115 km.

At the same time, the height of the sun above the horizon will be equal to 64 °, the azimuth in the sun at the point at the moment of the peak of the eclipse will be 198 ° with the world time 18:26:40 (the time error is 70 seconds).

The essence of a solar eclipse

An eclipse is an astronomical situation in which one celestial body obscures the light of another celestial body.

A solar eclipse is observed when the Moon falls into the field between an observer from the Earth and the Sun, as if eclipsing it, blocking it out. A solar eclipse occurs on New Moon. Moreover, at the time of a solar eclipse, the Moon itself is not visible, and a feeling is created that a certain dark object is blocking the Sun from us. The shadow from the moon at this moment falls on the earth's surface, and the entire area in the shadow can observe an eclipse.

According to the astronomical classification, if a solar eclipse can be observed as a total at least somewhere on the surface of our planet, then it is called a total solar eclipse. Despite the fact that the Moon is 400 times smaller than the Sun, at the time of a total solar eclipse, the Moon completely overlaps the solar disk. How is this possible?

The answer is simple - the Moon is much closer to the Earth than the Sun (to be precise, 390 times). Thus, the distance completely compensates for the size, which is why, appearing in the sky, the Sun and the Moon become practically the same size for us.

Annular eclipse in 2017

In addition to a total eclipse, earthlings can also observe an annular solar eclipse that will occur February 26, 2017... This eclipse will be the 29th eclipse of the 140th Saros.

An annular solar eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon in which the cone-shaped continuation of the Moon's shadow crosses the surface of the Earth, and the Moon at this moment is so far from our planet that it is not able to close the Sun completely. That is, the diameter of the Moon is smaller than the Sun and, passing between the Earth and the Sun, forms the appearance of a "ring".

In addition to total and annular solar eclipses, there are also partial solar eclipses - an astronomical phenomenon in which the cone of the moon's shadow passes close to the earth's surface, but does not touch it.

Effects of an eclipse on humans

The effect of absolutely any eclipse (not only solar, but also lunar) can be compared to the effect of a hazy haze. These days, the adverse effects on the psyche and health are significantly increasing. The state of mind deteriorates markedly.

In the days of eclipses, it becomes more difficult to understand what is good and what is bad. It is not clear what is right or wrong for us. Often during this period, we more easily succumb to bad influences, we want to break and destroy everything. That is why it is worth refraining from serious decisions on days when eclipses occur. New businesses should also not be started at this time.

A solar eclipse is observed near the New Moon. Most of all, a solar eclipse affects men, affecting career issues, social processes, and general health. The total eclipse of our luminary has the strongest negative impact. A partial solar eclipse has a weaker effect on people, and an annular one has an even smaller effect.

These events are important not only from the point of view of astronomy, but also from the point of view of astrology, bioenergetics, because such phenomena always make the world around us a little different for a short period of time.

To know how the Sun and Moon will affect you and me during eclipses, try not to forget about them by tracking the lunar calendar or taking notes for yourself.

What is an eclipse

Imagine a dark room devoid of light. The only source is the lantern. Let the lantern be the sun. Let's say he shines directly in your face from the opposite side of the room. You are sitting on a chair or on a sofa, that is, you are on Earth. Imagine that someone will stand in front of you or. For clarity, imagine that someone will take a ball and carry it right in front of a lantern. If you are working at full scale, then you will need, for example, a pea or something round and small. If you look at a pea, holding it with your fingers directly in front of your face, then it can block the Sun, that is, a lantern. This is a solar eclipse.


With a lunar eclipse, things are a little more complicated. Imagine that the Earth and the Moon will swap places. Now we are casting a shadow on the moon. Since the Earth is larger than the Moon, then the shadow passes over the lunar disk much more often and more clearly.

Nearest eclipses of 2017

In February, there was already one solar and one lunar eclipse. It's summer now, it's time for the second "wave" of eclipses. They will take place in August.
On August 7, there will be a partial eclipse of the Moon in Aquarius. It will take place in the evening, at about 18:20 Moscow time. It will be visible only from a telescope, but still not good enough.
There will be a total solar eclipse in Leo on August 21st. This means that this event will be very spectacular. Unfortunately, it will only be possible to observe it in North America. A partial eclipse will be slightly visible in the Russian Far East.
Thus, August will be very busy. If you have a desire, you can watch the broadcast or record of the solar eclipse on August 21, but do not worry too much about this, because beautiful eclipses happen once 5-6 years, and maybe more often. Of course, the lunar disk does not completely cover the sun. In the same place on the globe, a total eclipse of the Sun occurs once every 200 years, which can already upset astronomy lovers.

How eclipses will affect human energy

Both solar and lunar eclipses personify the opposition of the Moon and the Sun. You and I feel it on ourselves. Remember that before any such phenomenon in a day or even two is not worth:
abuse alcohol;
break the daily routine;
overstrain;
be in stressful situations;
make important decisions;
start some important business.
On such days, you can and even need to part with the past, getting rid of garbage and trash at home. Cleanse not only the place where you live, but also your soul. Do not be afraid to dream, forgetting about all negative moments, events and people in order to remove negative programs.
August eclipses are dangerous from the point of view of astrology. The lunar eclipse on August 7 will take place in the Sign of Aquarius. On this day, you should ask for forgiveness from those whom you have offended by word or deed in the past. Do not swear with anyone, especially if you do not want to have problems at work and in school. Aquarius can make you say something that will turn your loved one away from you forever.


The eclipse of the Sun in Leo on August 21 will be dangerous for all who wish to maintain leadership. You shouldn't make empty promises on this day. Do not put yourself above other people: show your colleagues and subordinates, as well as those close to you, that you are equal. This will build trust.
Throw unnecessary emotions out of your head. August is an energetically dangerous month, but luck will smile on you if you put some effort into it. You will succeed if you are careful enough on August 7 and 21.

In 2017, the inhabitants of planet Earth will experience two solar eclipses. Moreover, one of them (solar eclipse) will be total, which means it will be especially significant. The second solar eclipse will be annular (annular).

A total eclipse of the Sun is a phenomenon in which the Moon completely covers the solar disk, and people watching from the Earth will not see the Sun at all.

The annular solar eclipse is not much more complex. During such an event, a certain rim will be visible from the Earth, which will remain from the Sun when it hides behind the lunar surface.

An annular solar eclipse will occur on February 26, 2017, and earthlings will be able to see a total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017.

In addition to solar eclipses, the inhabitants of the Earth will be able to see lunar eclipses. Lunar eclipses occur only during full moons, in 2017 there will be two of them: penumbra and partial.

A penumbral lunar eclipse implies that during this phenomenon the Earth will not fall under the direct lunar shadow, but only in its penumbra, which is why the change in the brightness of the moon's illumination will not be recorded with the naked eye. The penumbral lunar eclipse will occur on February 11, 2017.

In the case when the moon falls under the earth's shadow only partially, astronomers talk about a partial lunar eclipse. It will be possible to watch it on August 7, 2017.

Influence of eclipses

Eclipses have always had a special and important sacred meaning, especially in astrology. In ancient times, they were seen as an unkind omen, believed that they cause negative events and phenomena, such as war, famine or natural disasters. The phenomenon of a total solar eclipse was considered especially significant and even dangerous.

In our time, eclipses are perceived not so apocalyptically. Nevertheless, the days of eclipses, both solar and lunar, are always special.

Astrologically, eclipses signal the beginning or end of the developmental cycle in life, which can have both positive and negative effects.

Modern astrologers believe that eclipses and events occurring these days show directions for personal growth and where opportunities are provided to us. Typically, their influence brings about changes related to the beginning or completion of something in your life. At the same time, total eclipses, as a rule, are always associated with influences that are of a fateful nature.

It is important to note that if on the days of the solar eclipse something important begins, then on the days of the lunar something is destroyed. For example, if there is a desire to drastically change your lifestyle or break off any relationship, then it is best to do this at the time of a lunar eclipse.

Any of us can feel inexplicable anxiety and concern during the days of eclipses. There is a possibility of making erroneous decisions due to irritability and absent-mindedness.

In the days of eclipses, it becomes more difficult to understand what is good and what is bad. It is not clear what is right or wrong for us. Often during this period, we more easily succumb to bad influences, we want to break and destroy everything. That is why it is worth refraining from serious decisions on days when eclipses occur. New businesses should also not be started at this time.

Eclipses can cause sudden changes in business, relationships, etc. If we talk about the influence of eclipses on the personal life and fate of a particular person, then for some earthlings unexpected accidents, divorces, losses and other negative events become more likely.

You need to be very careful and attentive during an eclipse. It is advisable to avoid travel.

Astrologers recommend for this period not to schedule new business, not to conclude serious agreements and contracts, not to make large purchases. Better to abandon routine medical surgery. It is recommended to spend this time in prayer, reading books, immersion in your inner world.

It must be remembered that everything that happens on days that are close to the date of the eclipse ("plus or minus" three days from the date of the eclipse) can be fatal.

Also, any eclipses, especially solar ones, affect the body and physical well-being of a person, and this influence begins to manifest itself two weeks before and 2 weeks after this phenomenon (in lunar eclipses, the effect is felt in "plus or minus two to three days"). This is especially felt by the elderly, people with cardiovascular diseases and problems with the nervous system.

During a solar eclipse, the risk of cardiovascular diseases increases, since the Sun controls the heart.

In particular, studies by medical scientists have shown that the human body begins to respond to a solar eclipse as soon as the solar disk is closed by the Moon: an hour after the beginning of the eclipse, hypertensive patients rise in blood pressure, blood vessels narrow, and the heart increases the power of blood ejection; blood begins to flow unevenly to different hemispheres of the brain.

A solar eclipse polarizes health problems. The reason is that according to oriental medicine, the Sun sends us a positive charge or Yang energy, and the Moon - Yin - takes energy. The Chinese believe that the day of the solar eclipse is a temporary victory of the feminine Yin over the masculine Yang. To avoid feeling unwell, on this day you should take a contrast shower and avoid active actions.

At the same time, the effects that the luminaries have on us are at the same time healing. They put stress on the body and train it in this way. If you are relatively healthy, then during this period you may feel only slight dizziness or increased fatigue, nothing more. The body these days gathers strength and is activated.

By the way, people born on the day of the eclipse and the coming days before and after this event, according to astrologers, are extraordinary personalities and it is difficult for them to change something in their destiny, because in their lives, as a rule, fatal, predetermined circumstances and situations play an important role. Many of them become famous scientists, researchers and people of creative professions.

The eclipse will be able to observe the inhabitants of most of the territory of Russia (with the exception of the eastern regions), and its maximum penumbra phase will be 1.014 when the Moon passes through the southern part of the earth's penumbra.

With this phase, the moon will almost touch the earth's shadow (the maximum shadow phase will be −0.03), so the eclipse will be well observed even with the naked eye.

According to astrology and feng shui, during eclipses, the flow of energy of one or another star is partially or completely blocked. In the case of a lunar eclipse, this is the Moon, but it will not be completely eclipsed, that is, the eclipse will be penumbral.

Since the night luminary is responsible for the soul, subconsciousness, humanity and intuition, then, accordingly, these characteristics will partially suffer.

The moon is the personification of a woman - a symbol of calmness, kindness, caring and endurance. That is why during this period it is difficult for many to keep emotions in themselves, to maintain calmness and restraint in conflict situations and to make correct and reasonable decisions. In all your actions, it will be emotions that will have a huge influence, and not a cold mind. Therefore, as you understand, it is undesirable to change your life during this period, to decide something and carry out major agreements and transactions.

It is during this period that many will awaken the desire to achieve justice, which will be deprived of all mercy and soul. If you do not restrain such impulses, then nothing good will be achieved. It must be remembered that you must look for an individual approach to each situation and do not forget to sometimes give vent to your emotional impulses.

(at 12:10:55 UTC at ° Pisces 0 ′)

A strip of the annular phase will pass through the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, as well as through the south of South America and southern Africa. The duration of the annular phase at the maximum of the phenomenon will reach only 44 seconds at a phase of 0.992. In this case, the thinnest ring of this eclipse will be observed.

An annular solar eclipse will be well observed in the southern parts of Chile and Argentina, Angola, in the southwest of Katanga province.

Partial phases of the eclipse will be visible in South and West Africa, southern South America and Antarctica.

The sun is a symbol of masculine qualities - the fight for justice, perseverance, intelligence, willpower and assertiveness. Therefore, many of us will be subject to a certain melancholy and loss of strength.

Our inner strength will come to naught, and instead of them anxiety will come and some fears may even be remembered. Well, during this period, each of us will have to make a lot of efforts so as not to get out of hand and not lose our ability to work. Astrologers do not advise all bold decisions to be implemented in life, this can lead to irreversible consequences that will only bring losses and troubles. Therefore, we must try to avoid abrupt changes in life.

But those good intentions that you may have, try to implement, but do not overdo it. During solar eclipses, there is often a desire to change the world for the better, but remember that you need to start such changes with yourself. Do a good deed, help someone in need - this will give you a charge of good energy and will be able to drive away melancholy.

(at 15:47:46 UTC at 0 ′ of the sign of Aquarius)

This eclipse will be observed almost throughout the territory of Russia and the CIS countries (with the exception of the northernmost and most eastern regions of the country), and its maximum phase will reach 0.25.

A natural satellite of the Earth will pass during this eclipse through the northern part of the earth's shadow. A partial and total solar eclipse is observed from the moon at this time.

This time, you'll have to put in a lot of effort to keep what you've been working on for a while. For example, if you decide to start playing sports, then these days your enthusiasm will fade a little. Well, do not stop halfway, remember that the path to success can be thorny and you need to work hard to achieve what you want. The period of the Lunar Eclipse is a time when it is difficult to restrain your negative emotions. If you fall for such bad tricks of the night luminary, then when this period passes, you will have to work hard to restore your reputation.

Lunar eclipses are a period when all secrets come to light. Keeping something secret at this time is extremely difficult. Moreover, relatives and friends will react sharply to the fact that they are hiding something from them. Therefore, it is better to open all the cards even before the eclipse, when each of you will be calm and cold-blooded.

(at 15:46:56 UTC at ° Leo 0 ′)

This total eclipse will occur at the new moon on August 21, and the full phase strip will pass through the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, crossing the North American continent from west to east. The maximum duration of the full phase will reach 2 minutes 40 seconds at phase 1.03. Best of all, the total eclipse phase can be observed in the United States.
