A fantastic Partial Eclipse occurred in Rome, Italy on January 4, 2011. European scientists and astronomers and skywatchers were simply surprised by the spectacular sight. "An amazing eclipse!" exclaimed Masi, a European astronomer. Many people have never seen an eclipse before, therefore, observing one is a "one-in-a-lifetime" opportunity.
Most believe that this eclipse is the best one ever seen in Europe, but lots of others can surpass this one. "I was impressed to see many casual observers trying to look at the sun," Masi said. "People were quite informed, I must say: Eclipses are among the things happening up there they like more." Luckily, the next eclipse in Europe will be seen on March 20, 2015.
A solar eclipse is formed when the moon blocks sunlight that reaches the Earth. They last for eight minutes and must be observed with special eye wear. Eye connection with an eclipse can cause blindness.Solar Eclipses are great phenomenons, therefore, I believe that there should be more frequent eclipses happening around the world.
