Q1. I want to know more about the solar eclipse. From Richa Gupta.

Hello Richa, we have placed some information about the different kinds of eclipses and the geometries involved, here. We have also uploaded information about an interesting method of determining relative angular diameters of the Sun and the Moon, during the partial phases of a solar eclipse, here. -- Rathnasree and Anurag Garg, Nehru Planetarium, New Delhi.

A preview of the 2009 solar eclipse that will be seen as total, from many parts of India, created by Vidur Prakash of AAAD, is here.
