The situation that will be affected by this eclipse, both on a global scale and in an individual context, will have a dramatic development. The consonant aspects give hope for a positive and even uplifting outcome.

View of a total solar eclipse through a telescope

Total solar eclipses have always been the most interesting astronomical phenomenon for people. But if in past centuries the onset of darkness during the day caused fear, now a total eclipse of the Sun is eagerly awaited to see the magnificent solar corona around the daytime body eclipsed by the Moon, as well as stars and planets in the darkened sky! A total solar eclipse lasts only a few minutes (a maximum of seven and a half minutes at the best positions for such an eclipse of the Earth and Moon in orbit and an observer on Earth), but because of these minutes, sometimes you have to move thousands of kilometers from your place of residence. But this extraordinary celestial spectacle is worth it to cover long distances to the place where the eclipse is visible.

Total solar eclipses (unlike lunar ones) are visible only in a narrow band on the Earth's surface and in the same locality can be observed no more than once every 200-300 years! Although there are exceptions. For example, in the American city of Carbondale, a total eclipse of the Sun can be seen twice with a break of only 7 years (in 2017 and in 2024). In Russia, Gorno-Altaisk became such a city, where total eclipses of 2006 and 2008 were visible (the interval between eclipses is only 2 years!). But such combinations are rare, and most astronomers and all those who are interested in total solar eclipses, one way or another, have to prepare for great trip in order to feel the greatness and splendor of the world around us within a few minutes on the day of the eclipse! This will be the case this year as well. On August 21, 2017, residents of our country who want to see the total eclipse of the Sun will have to travel to the United States. Those who, for various reasons, will not be able to reach the American continent will have to be content with the online broadcast of the eclipse, which will certainly be transmitted along the entire path of the lunar shadow across the Earth's surface.

The described total solar eclipse is a repetition through saros (eclipse 22 145 saros) of the total solar eclipse on August 11, 1999, which was observed in Western Europe and Central Asia (slightly short of Crimean peninsula). The next eclipse of this saros will occur on September 2, 2035, and will be observed in China, Korea and Japan (partial phases will be visible in the eastern half of Russia). The current total eclipse will be observed only in the United States and will reach a maximum at a point with coordinates of 37 degrees. northern latitude, 87.7 degrees west longitude, with a maximum total phase duration of 2 minutes 40 seconds. The maximum width of the total phase band on the earth's surface will be 115 kilometers (about a third of the maximum possible width). The length of the lunar shadow in space is about 373,320 kilometers, and the distance between the Moon and the Earth during the eclipse will be slightly less, namely 362,235 kilometers. As a result, the Moon will cover the Sun by 1.0306 of its part. This means that the maximum phase total eclipse will have a value of 1.0306. In this eclipse, the central axis of the lunar shadow will pass at a distance from the earth's center of 2785 kilometers (to the north of it), so the Gamma parameter will be 0.4367 (part of the Earth's radius).

The lunar penumbra will enter the Earth's surface at 15:47 UTC in the Pacific Ocean (near the Hawaiian Islands), starting to move eastward, reaching the shores of North America after some time. The shadow of the moon will touch the earth's surface also in the water area Pacific Ocean at 4:48 p.m. At this point, a total eclipse of the Sun will begin on Earth. The lunar shadow at a speed of about 1 kilometer per second will quickly reach the west coast of the United States and the inhabitants of this country will have the opportunity to observe the most beautiful celestial phenomenon! Moving from west to east, the shadow of the Moon will cross the territory of the United States through a fairly densely populated area, reaching the shores of the Atlantic Ocean north of Florida, passing the maximum of the eclipse at 18 hours 26 minutes universal time. From the surface of the Earth, the lunar shadow will descend in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean at 20 hours 02 minutes universal time, without reaching the coast of Africa. But until 21:04 UTC, a partial eclipse will continue, which will be seen in small phases by residents of the western coast of Africa and the coastal countries of Western Europe. After the specified time, the penumbra of the moon will leave earth's surface, leaving only memories of this interesting astronomical phenomenon.

Map of the band of the total phase of the eclipse

The table below (indicating time, height above the horizon and the duration of the total phase) shows some cities in the USA where a total solar eclipse will be observed (UTC)

In the eclipsed sky, you can see several planets and the brightest stars. The sun and moon will be located in the constellation Leo near the brightest star in this constellation - Regulus. But it will be most difficult to see it because of the bright crown. To the left of the eclipsed Sun in the constellation Sextant will be Mercury, and much further and to the left in the constellation Virgo (near the star Spica) - bright Jupiter. To the right of the Sun in the constellation Leo, you can see Mars, and even to the right in the constellation Gemini - Venus. Venus and Jupiter will be the easiest to spot due to their brightness. Mercury is very weak on the day of the eclipse, because is near inferior conjunction with the Sun and is a difficult task to see, but Mars is comparable to bright stars and will be easy enough to see. Of the bright stars available will be Castor and Pollux in the constellation of Gemini, the mentioned Spica in the constellation of Virgo, Arcturus in the constellation of Bootes, Procyon in the constellation Canis Minor and Sirius in the constellation Canis Major. Perhaps other stars will be visible, but two minutes of a total eclipse is not advisable to spend searching for other luminaries. It is better to enjoy the spectacle of the eclipsed Sun and the solar corona!

Surroundings of the eclipsed Sun

In our country, partial phases of the eclipse on August 21, 2017 can be observed in the Far East, namely on the Chukotka Peninsula. Below is a list of the largest settlements that fall into the partial eclipse band (universal time).

We wish clear skies and successful observations to all who will observe the total solar eclipse this and next year!

For those who are going to travel to the eclipse area, and at the same time visit the USA (maybe for the first time in their lives) -

The authorities of Ecuador have deprived Julian Assange of asylum in the London embassy. The founder of WikiLeaks is detained by the British police, and this has already been called the biggest betrayal in the history of Ecuador. Why is Assange being avenged and what awaits him?

Julian Assange, a programmer and journalist from Australia, became widely known after the website WikiLeaks, founded by him, published secret documents of the US State Department, as well as materials related to military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2010.

But it was quite difficult to find out who the policemen, supporting by the arms, were taking out of the building. Assange grew a beard and did not look at all like the energetic man that he had so far presented in photographs.

According to Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno, Assange's asylum was denied because of his repeated violations of international conventions.

He is expected to remain at a police station in central London until he appears before Westminster Magistrates' Court.

Why the President of Ecuador is accused of betrayal

Former President of Ecuador Rafael Correa called the decision of the current government the biggest betrayal in the history of the country. "What he (Moreno. - Approx. ed.) did is a crime that humanity will never forget," Correa said.

London, on the contrary, thanked Moreno. The British Foreign Office believes that justice has prevailed. The representative of the Russian diplomatic department, Maria Zakharova, has a different opinion. "The hand of 'democracy' is squeezing the throat of freedom," she said. The Kremlin expressed the hope that the rights of the arrested person would be respected.

Ecuador harbored Assange because ex-president adhered to the center-left views, criticized US policy and welcomed the publication by WikiLeaks of classified documents on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even before the Internet activist needed asylum, he managed to get to know Correa personally: he interviewed him for the Russia Today channel.

However, in 2017, the government in Ecuador changed, the country headed for rapprochement with the United States. New president called Assange "a stone in the shoe" and immediately made it clear that his stay on the territory of the embassy would not be delayed.

According to Correa, the moment of truth came at the end of June last year, when US Vice President Michael Pence arrived in Ecuador on a visit. Then everything was decided. "You can be sure: Lenin is just a hypocrite. He has already agreed with the Americans about the fate of Assange. And now he is trying to make us swallow the pill, saying that Ecuador allegedly continues the dialogue," Correa said in an interview with Russia Today.

How Assange made new enemies

The day before his arrest, WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Kristin Hrafnsson said that Assange was under total surveillance. "WikiLeaks uncovered a massive spy operation against Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy," he said. According to him, cameras and voice recorders were placed around Assange, and the information received was transmitted to the administration of Donald Trump.

Hrafnsson specified that Assange was going to be expelled from the embassy a week earlier. This did not happen only because WikiLeaks made this information public. A high-ranking source told the portal about the plans of the Ecuadorian authorities, but the head of the Ecuadorian Foreign Ministry, Jose Valencia, denied the rumors.

Assange's expulsion was preceded by a corruption scandal involving Moreno. In February, WikiLeaks published the INA Papers package, which traced the operations of the offshore company INA Investment, founded by the brother of the Ecuadorian leader. In Quito, they said that this was a plot by Assange with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and former head of Ecuador Rafael Correa to overthrow Moreno.

In early April, Moreno complained about Assange's behavior in Ecuador's London mission. “We have to protect the life of Mr. Assange, but he has already crossed all the lines in terms of violating the agreement that we reached with him,” the president said. “This does not mean that he cannot speak freely, but he cannot lie and hack ". At the same time, back in February last year, it became known that Assange at the embassy was deprived of the opportunity to interact with the outside world, in particular, he was turned off access to the Internet.

Why Sweden stopped persecuting Assange

At the end of last year, Western media, citing sources, reported that Assange would be charged in the United States. This was never officially confirmed, but it was precisely because of Washington's position that Assange had to take refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy six years ago.

Sweden, in May 2017, stopped investigating two cases of rape in which the founder of the portal was accused. Assange demanded compensation from the country's government for legal costs in the amount of 900,000 euros.

Earlier, in 2015, Swedish prosecutors also dropped three charges against him due to the statute of limitations.

Where did the rape investigation lead?

Assange arrived in Sweden in the summer of 2010, hoping to get protection from US authorities. But he was under investigation for rape. In November 2010, a warrant for his arrest was issued in Stockholm, Assange was announced in international wanted list. He was detained in London, but was soon released on bail of 240 thousand pounds.

In February 2011, a British court ruled to extradite Assange to Sweden, followed by a series of successful appeals for the founder of WikiLeaks.

The British authorities placed him under house arrest before deciding to extradite him to Sweden. Breaking his promise to the authorities, Assange asked for asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy, ​​which was granted to him. Since then, the UK has had its own grievances against the founder of WikiLeaks.

What's next for Assange?

The man was re-arrested following a U.S. extradition request for publishing classified documents, police said. At the same time, Deputy Foreign Minister Alan Duncan said that Assange would not be sent to the United States if he faced the death penalty there.

In the UK, Assange is likely to appear in court on the afternoon of 11 April. This is stated on the WikiLeaks Twitter page. It is likely that the British authorities will seek a maximum sentence of 12 months, the man's mother said, citing his lawyer.

At the same time, the Swedish prosecutor's office is considering reopening the investigation into the rape allegation. Lawyer Elizabeth Massey Fritz, who represented the interests of the victim, will seek this.

The eclipse will last 1.5 hours. But only residents of the United States will be able to observe with their own eyes the solar eclipse of 2017, and also partially in Western Europe And South America. The city of Carbondale (USA) will become a unique place where 2 total solar eclipses will be observed within 7 years - in 2017 and 2024.

It will begin in the evening Moscow time, at 21.26, so the inhabitants of the main territory of Russia will not be able to watch it. A partial eclipse will be visible only in the extreme northeast of Russia, Chukotka, northern Kamchatka and on the islands located in the Arctic Ocean.

Moscow time, a total solar eclipse will occur on Sunday August 21, 2017 at 21:26. Scientists note that the Moon will close the Sun for 1.5 hours, and the solar corona will be several times larger than during previous eclipses. The full overlap of the Sun and the onset of darkness will last about two minutes. Bright stars and planets will also become visible.

However, Russians and residents of countries where the unique phenomenon will not be visible can watch the solar eclipse in the NASA online broadcast, which will be conducted from a height of 30 thousand meters above the ground. It can be viewed here.

The DKIST telescope, the most powerful solar telescope in the world, will monitor solar activity during the eclipse.

It is important to take precautions when observing a solar eclipse live. It is absolutely impossible to look at the Sun without protection - you can damage the retina up to complete blindness.

Ordinary sunglasses are completely unsuitable for this, as well as "folk" methods like developed photographic film, X-ray film, floppy disk, etc. You can watch a solar eclipse with the following protection: special glasses with UV protection; black and white undeveloped film; special photo filter for eclipse observations; welding goggles with a protective tint of at least 14.

Even through objects that are safe for viewing, you should not look at the sun for more than 30-40 seconds. You need to give your eyes a rest. In addition, you should not try to photograph the eclipse with a regular camera or phone - the photo will not come out, and the matrix in the phone or camera may burn out.

The previous solar eclipse was in 2015. Earlier it was reported that NASA is looking for an alien invasion fighter for $15,000 a month.

The 29th degree of the fire sign Leo is where the eclipse will occur. Specialists in the field of astronomy and astrologers have noted an interesting arrangement of the planets in this period.

So, Mars will be in divergent conjunction with the Moon and the Sun, with Uranus and Saturn this planet will be in a trine, and with Jupiter in a partile sextile. Of course, the technical terms mentioned above are unlikely to be understood by people who are not connected with astronomy and astrology. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify what will be the overall impact of the August eclipse on the world and society as a whole.

The situations that will arise on this day are likely to have dramatic overtones. But there is a high probability further development in a positive way.

So, it makes sense to hope for a positive outcome. If circumstances do not favor a favorable conclusion, selfish qualities may appear in society. In any case, on August 21, 2017, people will feel a huge surge of strength, which is due to an incredible energy boost. Such a state will dispose to the realization of "healthy" ambitions and the satisfaction of the desire for power.

The eclipse, which will take place on August 21, has significant differences from the February solar eclipse. If February was dominated by bad influence heavenly bodies, then in August there will be a rather positive impact.

A certain location of Mars, the Sun, the Moon and some other planets during the eclipse allows us to conclude that the formed combination will have a beneficial effect on every person and on global situations.

If during the February eclipse, experts did not recommend starting important things and carefully spending vitality, then on August 21 you can be sure of your energy potential, as well as deal with global issues.

The only thing that depresses is the inability to see a quick result. Yes, the outcome of solving problems will be positive, but it will be possible to observe the fruits of the efforts expended at least in a month. This is due to the location of Saturn, which is often referred to as the "guardian of time". It is this planet that will not allow problems to be resolved quickly.

The energies that will become dominant on the day of the eclipse will most positively influence the processes of creating long-term projects. Therefore, it is possible and necessary to start business that is designed for several weeks, months or years. They will be successful and will bring considerable benefits.

Experts urge people to be reasonable. This is especially true for personal relationships. Since the eclipse will pass through a fiery sign, both minor quarrels and global conflicts are possible. Don't jump to conclusions by making hasty decisions. Over time, this can be bitterly regretted. It is better to tune in a positive way, postponing the showdown until later.

Due to the fact that on the day of the eclipse many people will feel a surge of energy, emotional burnout may occur. The main thing is not to overdo it, taking on several things at the same time and trying to embrace the immensity.

This can easily lead to the opposite effect - the forces will leave, irritation, nervousness and apathy will appear. Any signs of chronic fatigue may appear suddenly. Correctly distribute your forces, rest more.

It is advisable to direct part of your energy to improving the health of the body. If you have been planning to go on a diet for a long time, August 21 will be an excellent starting day for this. After all, the right diet is a project designed for at least 2-3 months.

And all global and long-term problems, the solution of which was started on the day of the eclipse, have a great chance of being successfully completed. It will be useful to carry out cleansing and rejuvenating procedures. The process of freeing the body from toxins and toxic agents will be highly effective, will be easy and relaxed.

Even if you are not overweight, give your digestive system a rest. To do this, arrange a fasting day, eat only vegetables, fruits, herbs, cereals, low-fat dairy products.

The main enemies that can take away vital energy, make you feel empty and irritable, are quarrels with others. Particularly unpleasant can be the consequences of clarifying relations with relatives and close friends.

Therefore, on August 21, you should not swear with anyone, even if there are serious reasons for this. Stay neutral and don't get into arguments. Don't rush into action Making hasty decisions, especially those that matter life situations- not the best activity for the eclipse period.

As practice shows, subsequently people often regret their rash acts. Therefore, do not get excited. If there is a conflict, it is better to back off, even if you are 100% right. Let the quarrel exhaust itself and come to naught. And then, after a few days, you can return to resolving the conflict.

During the eclipse, you should try to get all negative thoughts out of your head. It is important to get rid of negative memories, to forgive yourself and others for the mistakes made in the past.

The biggest mistake can be the process of self-flagellation, because many people tend to blame themselves, suffer from remorse. Drive any unpleasant thoughts out of your mind, think about a happy future, tune in a positive way.

Do not expose the body to serious stress First of all, you should not overeat and abuse alcohol. It is important to give the body the opportunity to have a good rest at night. Otherwise, you will feel unwell throughout the day. Also, experts do not recommend planning serious medical procedures on August 21 and prescribing any surgical interventions.

IN I wrote about eclipses and gave recommendations for this period. Now I want to dwell on what was not included in . So, in August 2017 we are waiting for two eclipses:

The eclipses of August 2017 will be on the axis at . Over the next year and a half, eclipses are on this axis, bringing to the fore the theme of Leo and Aquarius.

The lion is a symbol of imperative will and personal power, it is a leader, a monarch, a president. Aquarius is demos (Greek "people"), free citizens who have civil rights. From this root comes the word and concept - democracy - the power of the people. This is parliament public organizations, civil movements. During the period when eclipses follow the signs of Leo and Aquarius (until February 2019), new trends in society are determined, new trends in international relations, in the relationship between the authorities and the people, the "social contract" is changing, the type of interaction, is changing global political environment,subsequently becoming a stable trend for a long period. These are also themes of people in power, their destinies and their influence on world processes.

The eclipse begins at 15:46 GMT

Maximum phase at 18:21 GMT

The eclipse ends at 21:04 GMT

For Kyiv and Moscow +3.

Full blackout phase 2 minutes, 41 seconds.

August 21, 2017 will be at the North Node. The astrological community calls it the "Great American Eclipse" for good reason. The shadow of the eclipse, passing through certain areas, indicates the countries that will be most affected by this eclipse. The path of the eclipse on August 21, 2017 covers the entire territory of the United States. The United States will be the zone of greatest visibility of this eclipse.For the first time since 1918, the shadow of an eclipse will cross the entire continent, and this is the first eclipse since 1776 whose total shadow passes exclusively through the United States.

Another reason this eclipse is considered significant for the United States is that it occurs at 28° 53" Leo - in conjunction with the natal ascendant and Mars of President Donald Trump, who was born on a lunar eclipse. In traditional astrology, the fate of the country is connected with the map of its ruler, and significant transits to the map of the leader of the country can indicate not only important events in his fate, but also important events in the country as a whole.Given the growing tension around the administration of Donald Trump, the coming period could be a time of serious testing for him.or important initiatives, and will be decisive.

August 21 will be in exact trine with Uranus. This eclipse is more constructive than the previous one. If August 07 poses problems, then August 21 provides an opportunity to reach their solution. This period gives events a momentum that can be felt in our personal affairs for several years. "Absorption of light" makes this period unpredictable, causing a sense of uncertainty, which will be revealed later.

Leo's theme is creativity, love relationship, children, business related to art, show industry and entertainment, with the stock exchange and speculation, these are the topics of receiving money from parents and real estate.This eclipse will also activate Topics risky adventures, gambling, stock speculation.If this eclipse falls on a significant point natal chart, it can bring changes in our careers and leadership. At this time, our creativity, creative projects can get a result that will determine our future plans and tasks. Previous creative efforts can develop into more meaningful activities, we can decide to turn our hobby into a profession or an income source. The situations of this period may encourage you to take responsibility and manage what is happening.This period provides an opportunity to solve old problems in new ways, the opportunity to find a way out of difficulties, using non-standard approaches. But for this you need to move away from the old stereotypes.

So, how to get through this period without creating additional problems for yourself?

The first thing to remember - Eclipses give significance to everything that happens at this time. I quote from my article: “At this time, especially near eclipses, you should carefully monitor all situations, meetings and new ideas. It must be remembered that every event that falls on an eclipse is more important than we might at first imagine. Ideas, proposals, projects and people that enter our lives during the “season” of eclipses become part of our life for a long period.”

But mistakes, delusions, miscalculations and transgressions also become more significant than at other times, and their consequences will be long-lasting. Therefore, we do not follow the lead of emotions and illusions, we rely on reason and prudence, we do not succumb to provocations and temptations. Important decisions should not be made during eclipses and even more so on the day of the eclipse. Rely on proven connections, prepare new steps. But new beginnings and projects need to be postponed to the period after September 06

Second thing to remember – the eclipses of this are connected with our awareness of our identity, our “I” different from others, our personal and creative tasks in a collective context. This is the theme: "I" and the collective, the ability not to dissolve in the interests of others, but to be able to build relationships so that cooperation or personal relationships do not interfere with our need to be ourselves.
