All the inhabitants of our planet dream of seeing such an incredible sight as a solar eclipse. This event is very rare and every appearance of it causes genuine interest of the masses. In the article, we will consider what this phenomenon is, we will analyze the advice of astrologers and determine the dates of solar eclipses.
What is an eclipse and why does it occur
An eclipse of the sun is one of the most anticipated astronomical events. It is observed when the Moon, passing between the Sun and the globe, closes a star from the inhabitants of our world. The shadow cast by the Moon to the Earth has small dimensions relative to our planet, therefore, it cannot immediately envelop its entire area.
By the amount of the closed surface of the Sun, there are:
- The time of total solar eclipse. When the observer is in the lunar shadow strip, the eclipse of the sun will be complete: the moon will cover the entire solar disk, and in the darkened sky only the so-called solar corona will be visible.
- A private eclipse is called so because only a fraction of the solar circle will be closed to viewers in the penumbra region. Accordingly, this event will be visible only from that part of our planet that falls under the lunar shadow or is adjacent to this darkened area (this approximate zone is called penumbra).
- Annular solar eclipse. In 2017, this option was observed by residents of the South Pole. It is observed when the Moon at the time of the eclipse is located at a great distance relative to our planet and the shadow from it does not reach the Earth. In this situation, it will be seen how the Moon moves in the center of the solar circle, but its diameter is smaller than the size of the solar disk, and, accordingly, the Sun will not hide completely, but will look like a bright ring with a dark spot in the middle. The sky darkens slightly, the solar corona cannot be discerned.
In a situation where an eclipse is seen from different points of the Earth (in the lunar shadow band) as full and ring-shaped, it will be classified as a full ring-shaped or hybrid.
The solar eclipses of the 20th century were especially interesting to science. Thanks to this phenomenon, scientists were able to explore the vicinity of the Sun, which is impossible under ordinary conditions. And since 1996, the SOHO satellite has been helping with this. Until the beginning of the 20th century, during the period of eclipses, the chromosphere was studied and several comets were noticed.

In 2018, this astronomical phenomenon will be observed three times.

Features of the eclipses of the coming 2018
According to astrologers, each new eclipse affects a person in a special way, due to the unique position of the planets and stars relative to each other, the Sun and the Moon at the time of the phenomenon. Having calculated the influence of interactions of celestial bodies, astrologers made recommendations regarding human actions at the time of solar eclipses in 2018:
- In the next solar eclipse on February 15, 2018 - a person can involuntarily manifest or intensify the desire for not the most kind and noble deeds. Therefore, on this day, you should most closely monitor your emotions, words and actions, try not to be drawn into the conflict.
- Eclipse July 13, 2018. Any undertakings on this day are doomed to failure.
- Eclipse August 11, 2018. Care should be taken when making important decisions on the day of the eclipse, and it is better to postpone it altogether. The absent-mindedness will take hold of a person, the attention to detail will weaken, as a result of which important nuances can be overlooked that day and, having made a decision, later regret it.
