Is there a book that shows the solar eclipse tracks going back a few hundred years?

NASA - Eclipse 99 - Frequently Asked Questions

The research library at the Goddard Space Flight Center shows the following books: Atlas of historical eclipse maps for east asia 1500BC to 1900 AD" by F.R. Stephenson and M.A. Houlden, (Cambridge University Press) 1986. This is a book of maps of China showing the eclipse tracks, but includes no other geographic locations.

What is a lunar eclipse? What is a solar eclipse?

The Moon | Scholastic.com
Anytime there are three bodies (the sun, the moon, or planet) lined up so that one blocks the light from another, we call that an eclipse. During a solar eclipse, our moon moves between us (on Earth) and the sun and blocks the sunlight. During a lunar eclipse, Earth blocks the sun's light that normally lights up the moon. Since we are standing on Earth, what we see is that the moon gets dark. Other kinds of eclipses happen too.

Question: At solar eclipse, can the "Hilal" be seen?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON MOON-SIGHTING
Answer: Solar eclipse always occurs when the moon is "New Moon" or "Invisible Moon". It occurs when the sun, the moon and Earth come in the same line. At that moment moon comes in front of the sun as seen from earth. This moon is totally invisible, because the moon does not have any light. It only reflects sun's light when it is not in line with the sun. This moon is not "hilal" and cannot be seen from any where in the world.

Q - We've been going to shows for years. We always send the same crew. Why do we need training?

Training for Trade Shows - 5 FAQs - General Information
A - Because if you've been going to the same shows, sending the same staff and selling the same products to the same people, you're in a rut. The business world is changing quickly, and you need to adapt. Trade show marketing is unique for each show because there's a change of exhibitors, attendees - and most important - your reason for attending. To "just do it" doesn't work for trade shows.

Is it safe to look at a solar eclipse?

Jasmine' China Adventure Tours - Eclipse Tour FAQ
Yes, provided you follow a few simple rules. It is not safe to look at the unfiltered surface of the sun at any time. Even when 99% of the sun is covered by the moon, it is still too bright to safely look at without the right kind of filter. We will be providing filter “glasses” for those who want to experience the “naked” eye view of the partial phases of the eclipse.

When can I see the next solar eclipse from North America?

NASA - Eclipse 99 - Frequently Asked Questions
Have a look at the Eclipse Paths page and find the eclipse nearest your location. My impression is that there will not be any total SOLAR eclipses visible from North America for a good many years. On August 21, 2017 there will be one whose track goes from Washingtion state, and exits on the east coast near the Carolinas. There will, however, be lots of LUNAR eclipses to entertain us!

How do I book shows? Any tips?

Kettle corn business frequently asked questions | North Bend...
You probably already have several shows in mind... but how can you find contact information? Begin by calling your Chamber of Commerce. Call your state tourism center and ask for information on festivals and special events. Watch newspapers...show coordinators often post an ad months prior to the show looking for vendors. Be nosy - go to the big events and ask other (non-competition) food vendors which shows are the best. Get as much information as you can from them.

Why do eclipse tracks move eastwards even though the Earth rotates from west to east?

NASA - Eclipse 99 - Frequently Asked Questions
Because the Moon moves to the east in its orbit at 3,400 km/hour. Earth rotates to the east at 1,670 km/hr at the equator, so the lunar shadow moves to the east at 1,730 km/hr near the equator. You cannot keep up with the shadow of the eclipse unless you traveled at Mach 1.5!

Typically, how big a temperature drop do you get during a total solar eclipse?

NASA - Eclipse 99 - Frequently Asked Questions
My guess would be that it would be equal to the typical daytime minus nighttime temperature difference at that time of the year and location on the Earth. It would be modified a bit by the fact that it only lasts a few minutes, which means the environment would not have had much time to thermally respond to its lowest temperature, so it would probably only be 3/4 or 1/2 the maximum day-night temperature difference.

However, if you have the dry form, your risk of progressing to wet AMD is higher and increases each year. If you have AMD in one eye, your risk is of getting AMD in the other eye is also higher.
