Total Solar Eclipse of March 8-9, 2016
A total solar eclipse will take place on March 8-9, 2016.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth.
A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness.
Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide. It will have a magnitude of 1.0450 visible across an area of Pacific Ocean, beginning in Indonesia, and ending in the northern Pacific Ocean.
► Geographic Region of Eclipse Visibility: Asia, Australia, Pacific
[Total: Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi, Pacific]
The periodicity and recurrence of solar eclipses is governed by the Saros cycle, a period of approximately 6,585.3 days (18 years 11 days 8 hours). It was known to the Chaldeans as a period when lunar eclipses seem to repeat themselves, but the cycle is applicable to solar eclipses as well.
The solar eclipse of March 8-9, 2016 belongs to Saros series 130.
See: http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEsaros/SEsaros130.html
Saros series 130 began with a partial eclipse in the southern hemisphere on 1096 Aug 20 and is composed of 73 solar eclipses.
The series will end with a partial eclipse in the northern hemisphere on 2394 Oct 25. The total duration of Saros series 130 is 1298.17 years.

Solar Eclipse at Horseshoe Bend
This image captures the remarkable experience of viewing the annular solar eclipse of May 20, 2012 at Horseshoe Bend on the Colorado River in Northern Arizona. Horseshoe Bend is a looping meander entrenched into the bedrock. Like all such meanders, this one formed when the underlying land was uplifted by tectonic forces. The uplifting acted to bring new life to the Colorado River, providing added power to cut through the Jurassic sandstone. An additional bit of fun in this image is the hundreds of photographers all taking in both the eclipse and the extraordinary view. They can be seen (center right and left) lining the canyon rim, with a 1,000 ft (305 m) drop to the Colorado River below.
Image & Caption Credit: Clinton Melander
Location: Horseshoe Bend, Colorado River, Northern Arizona, USA
Horseshoe Bend, Arizona Coordinates: 36.879444, -111.513889
Image Date: May 20, 2012
Release Date: June 9, 2018
Technical details: The original 1.78-gigabyte composite image measures 22500 x 14250 and is made from about 48 images. The body of the image is made up of 30 frames shot with a Canon EOS 5D Mark III camera (using a 24mm lens) utilizing its three frame per shot in-camera High Dynamic Range (HDR). Eighteen frames were shot with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II camera (using a 400mm lens) for the composited eclipse of the Sun in place over the canyon.

[Click to see full image]
This montage shows the eclipse of November 13, 2012 seen from Australia. A total of 19 images have been combined that show all stages of the eclipse, with totality at the center. The first one, at the bottom, was seen through clouds and trees while partially eclipsed sun was rising.

Total Solar Eclipse | ESO
This compound view shows the solar eclipse of November 3, 2013, just before, during, and just after the total phase. At the start and end of the total phase light can shine through lunar valleys to create the diamond ring effect and during the total phase many red prominences and the Sun's chromosphere are apparent.

Double-Diamond-Ring
This image was acquired during the hybrid solar eclipse of November 3, 2013. It shows the double-diamond-ring effect. The effect occurs near the start or end of the total phase, when brilliant sunlight shines through valleys on the Moon's surface while the solar corona is visible. The red glow from the Sun's chromosphere and several prominences are apparent around the edge of the Sun's disc. This eclipse was unusual as it was annular (when the Moon is too small to completely cover the Sun) on the beginning if the path and then it turned to total (as shown here), hence the name hybrid.

July 2, 2019 Total Solar Eclipse: Artist's impression
This video is an artist's impression of the total solar eclipse at ESO's La Silla Observatory on July 2, 2019. During this eclipse, the Sun will be low in the sky, so the shadow will form a u-shape in the sky.
ESO will open the doors of the La Silla Observatory for this very rare event.
