Solar Eclipse 2012: Moon, Sun To Put On Show For Southern Hemisphere
Next week's sky watching treat will be the first total eclipse to be visible since July 11, 2010, when the moon blocked out the sun's disk over the open ocean waters of the South Pacific.
What is a Solar Eclipse?
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon gets between the Earth and the Sun; causing the Moon to cast a shadow over the Earth (in certain locations).
Upcoming Solar Eclipses:
Nov. 13, 2012 - Total Solar Eclipse
May 10, 2013 - Annual Solar Eclipse
Nov. 3, 2013 - Hybrid Solar Eclipse
I am just making amateur observations here and a demonstration.
Nice , but some annotation would help to explain the progression of the pictures.
The first group of pictures is from a F.O.V. (field of view) @ 42 degrees.
Without horizon...
With ocean view...
With Constellation lines...
With Constellation names...
Without atmosphere...
Without horizon...
With ocean view and Constellation lines; no atmosphere...
With Constellation names added...
With no horizon...
This next group is from a F.O.V. @ 91 degrees.
Without horizon or atmosphere...
With Constellation lines added...
With the Constellation names added...
In my opinion (amateur), the Earth will be affected by a strong energy that day.
The Sun will be accompanied by the Moon in Libra; Venus is above with Saturn in Virgo; Just below and right above the horizon is Mercury being swatted by the Scorpion tail (with Antares); Mars is in Sagittarius directly below Scorpius.
Because of this alignment, when the Moon transitions into its "Full Phase" (10 days from now); I think there will be a major earthquake (7+) in the Australian region or very close to there. If not, I won't be disappointed.
I want to let them know ahead of time that my positive thoughts are with them and to be aware of the possibility.
Of course, this can happen anywhere anytime, I just have a strong feeling about this.
Take care and much love to all.

Some people are rather dismissive of your observations in relation to this possibility...but intuition based on observation...is a powerful thing.
