Guest guest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Dear Ramapriya, Yes, it is possible. Solar eclipses occur when a New Moon falls within about 18 degrees of zodiacal longitude on either side of Rahu or Ketu. Few eclipses are total /maximum number of solar eclipses in a year is 5- occurs once in 3 century/- most are partial and some annular /please see`Patrice's post, too/. "eclipse year" is`interval between two successive annual conjunctions of Sun and Rahu. So, rarely do we we have zero orb eclipse- eclipse orb is as mentioned above. Best wishes, Anna - Ramapriya D varahamihira Cc: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 10:39 AM [sJC: Achyuta Gurukul] Eclipse on 23rd?? Om namo naaraayanaaya Hi all, Quite a few have mentioned that there'll be a solar eclipse on the 23rd. Unless something is awry with what I've been taught or the ephemeris I'm using, I can't see that happening. On the 23rd of November 2003, with Ke in Li and Su in Sc, can someone more learned please explain how an eclipse is possible??

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Sorry Ramapriya, I may have not been clear enough- better said, Nodes are not points, but shadowy spaces and it can be`said that they symbolize the relationship of the Earth to two lights- Sun and Moon. /Ecliptic reveals /geocentrically considered/ Earth/Sun relationship, Moon's orbit reveals Moon/Earth relationship, and nodal axis ARE THE LINK between planes of these two orbits/ Hope I've explained that better now Regards, Anna - N.Anna Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:49 PM Re: Achyuta Gurukul] Eclipse on 23rd??
