When was the last total solar eclipse in Los Angeles?

Answer 1

There has never been a total solar eclipse in the City of Los Angeles. However, there was a solar eclipse on September 10, 1923 which was visible in Lompoc and San Diego, but the path of totality was about 10 miles offshore at Los Angeles.

On May 22, 1724 there was a solar eclipse that covered the area that would later become Los Angeles. However, the early Spanish pueblo that would become Los Angeles was not established until 50 years later.

Answer 2

"Next" is handled here with regard to the date of this answer: December 12, 2010

The next lunar eclipse will take place between 1:30 and 4:00 AM Eastern time

on the morning of December 21, 2010. It's a total eclipse, visible throughout the

Western Hemisphere.

The next solar eclipse will occur two weeks later, between 1:40 and 6:00 AM Eastern

time on the morning of January 4, 2011. It's a partial eclipse, visible in parts of Europe,

North Africa, and central Asia.

The next solar eclipse visible in North America will also be a partial, occurring between

2:00 and 6:10 PM Eastern time on June 1, 2011. Beginning at about 4:45 PM Eastern

time, the sun will appear 20% or less eclipsed over an area beginning in western Alaska,

moving eastward across northern Canada and Hudson's Bay, and ending in Labrador

and Newfoundland about 1-1/2 hours later.

Answer 3

The depends on many things. Are you talking about a total solar eclipse or annular (partial) solar eclipse? There is going to be a total solar eclipse this year, but almost all of it is going to be taking place over an ocean. Be a little more specific and I can help more.

Answer 4

There are generally two lunar eclipses per year, but sometimes instead of one "real" eclipse we see two "penumbral" eclipses a month apart. That's what happened in 2009; 3 penumbrals and one partial. Penumbral eclipses are generally not visible without specialized equipment.

The last visible lunar eclipse was an 80% partial eclipse on August 21, 2008, visible from India, parts of Asia north of India, and most of Africa. The next visible eclipse will be another partial eclipse on December 31, 2009 but will only be 7%; people in India and Russia MIGHT notice it, but if they blink they'll miss it.

The next total lunar eclipse will be on December 21, 2010, and will be perfectly placed for most of the North America, but especially California or Hawaii.

Answer 5

As of today (July 12, 2009), the last eclipse was an annular solar eclipse on January 26.

The next one will be a total solar eclipse, visible in southern and Eastern Asia, western and central Pacific, on the night of July 21-22.

Answer 6

2012November 13 . . . Total solar

November 28 . . . Penumbral lunar

2013April 25 . . . Partial lunar

May 9 . . . . Annular solar

May 24 . . . Penumbral lunar

October 18 Penumbral lunar

November 3 Hybrid solar (I don't know what that means either; let's both look it up.)

Answer 7

There will be an annular solar eclipse on May 20, 2012. The next total solar eclipse will be August 21, 2017, from Oregon to North Carolina.
Lunar? There will be lunar eclipses on June 15, 2011 and December 20, 2011, but both will be partial as seen from North America.

Answer 8

The next solar eclipse will occur on July 22, 2009. It will be spectacularly visible across a path from northern India to Shanghai, China and across the Pacific Ocean.

There are usually two lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses each year. Depending on the geometry, there are sometimes four partial eclipses instead. 2009 is such a year for lunar eclipses; one partial lunar eclipse and three penumbral lunar eclipses, none of which will be particularly visible. The next good lunar eclipse will be in December 2010.

Answer 9

Today is July 2, 2011. The last eclipse was yesterday; a VERY partial solar eclipse, visible only in the oceans near Antarctica. I don't think anyone noticed, actually. The "next" eclipse will be another partial solar eclipse on November 25, 2011, visible in Antarctica, much of the southern Indian ocean, and the southern tips of Africa and Tazmania.

On December 10, 2011, there will be a total lunar eclipse visible across most of Asia and Australia; it will be slightly visible as a partial lunar eclipse in the far-western USA.

See the NASA Eclipse Web Page for a catalog of all eclipses from 2000 BCE to 3000 AD.

Answer 10

As of June 2009

On July 22nd 2009 over Asia and China.

See link for path.

__________________________ The NASA Eclipse Web Site at http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse.html will let you look up the details of any eclipse past or future between 2000 BC and 3000 AD. Today July 22 2009 there was a total solar eclipse that could be seen in southern Asia (China, Bangladesh, India, etc). the next total solar eclipse will be on the 11th of July 2010. It will be visible over the South Pacific including Easter Island. Only a small portion of the path of totality touches any continent (sunset in southernmost Chile) see: http://eclipses.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEplot/SEplot2001SE2010Jul11T.GIF
The next total eclipse of the sun is on November 13, 2012. Totally visibility will be in northern Australia and the southern Pacific Ocean.
