Lunar and solar Eclipse

[Blazedout]

There's gonna be a partial lunar eclipse this evening. July 11th a total solar eclipse and also a total lunar eclipse again on December 21st all this year. Thought it was interesting.

Wow, what time is the partial lunar eclipse?

P.S. I am in southern California if that matters.

[Avadonna]

To see them it does matter wHere you are.

Ya, I really wanna see full solar, lunars are cool but solars are more rare to see. They occur less, well, at least were I am.

I sawr the last annular here off the eastern coast of India. . .annnnd. . .the total which was jst some six months before tht. Tho the monsoon kindda spoiled tht one for us. Next one I'm thinkin about chasing is gonna be in Australia I thinks. . .2011. A view from the olde rock.

Heyyy. . . any word of an eclipse like instance in-game. . .specific time, specific date. All pink loot cause the disc wot holds Alterra within be phasing through an eclipse !?!?

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.
