Solar Eclipse


A
total eclipse of the Sun is occurring this morning from about 4:00 AM to 6:30
AM local time from northern Canada
to China

The totality started in Nunavut, near Cambridge Bay
in northern Canada, then
through northern Greenland, across the Arctic Ocean, through central Russia (Siberia), then to Mongolia, and ended near Xian, in China as the Sun was setting in the ancient
capital of China

Parts of southern China will
get an opportunity to see yet another solar eclipse that will move from India through China
and then out into the Pacific Ocean next year on
July 22. 

The next total solar eclipse in the United
States
is not until August 21, 2017 when the moon will
completely block out the Sun in a path from Oregon
through Nebraska to South Carolina.  Right here in Fargo Moorhead, our next total
solar eclipse won’t be until September 14, 2099.
