[Guest guest]

Dear Friends:

Forgot to add the attachment regarding.... Eclipses....

but thought you'd find it interesting...

Enjoy!

Dear Mark....

Hi Professor,

 

A Technical question for you.

 

Do we get a Moon eclipse everytime Sun and Moon go through the Rahu-Kethu axis?

I mean a physical eclipse like you have shown/send the photo of?

 

And what about a Sun eclipse / how do we know when this happens?

 

More questions; After the moon eclipse some weird things happened here in

Istanbul; after the Sun eclipse in 1999 we had the earthquake, and the

earthquake happened on the line that was traced by the eclipse on the world.

Does the moon eclipse have such a line, that is traced on the world? and if yes

where do we find it?

Dear Adnan:

Good question:

The eclipses happen every 6 months...because the Sun takes 6 months/ or twice a year

to move between the nodes.

Like now... the Sun's been transiting Libra where Ketu is.

6 months ago the Sun was in Taurus whilst Rahu was there!

So...yes, the eclipses happen every 6 months...

And the eclipses happen during those days when both the Moon and Sun are with both

Rahu or Ketu.

It's a Lunar Eclipse, during the Full Moon that Sun is with one of the nodes,

and a Solar Eclipse when the Moon is New in the Sign that both the Sun and 'node' are in!

Like on Sunday, is the 2nd eclipse within the 2=weeks of this 6th month cycle.

But, this Sunday's eclipse is also an example of the fact that the Sun and 'node'

don't have to be technically in the same sign though they need to be very close.

See....up-coming Star Reports for the degrees!

Try and visualize your Astronomy.

When the Moon is Full it's on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun.

Happens every month.

But, 1 out of every 6 Full Moons is so close to the nodes... that the alignment

of the Sun, Earth and Moon....is so close...

that the Moon get's eclipsed....in this case...by the Earth...

Earth is standing in between the Sun and our vision of the Full Moon.

And so this is called a Lunar Eclipse, because it's the Moon that's being eclipsed.

Now, the Solar Eclipse...is when the Moon gets between the Earth and the Sun.

This happens on a New Moon, once every 6 New Moons each year.

And coincides with again one of the nodes.

This just means the alignment is so close that literally the shadow of the Moon

gets between the Earth and the Sun...

So we call this a Solar Eclipse,

literally the Sun is getting 'eclipsed' from our perspective on the Earth.

See... the following webpage for a very cool explanation of this Astronomy

along with a cool picture...

And go to this site...for a cool explanation of the Solar Eclipse,

and even this weekend's !
