Total Solar Eclipse Nov. 13th - Will Earthquakes Follow?
by Mitch Battros - Earth Changes Media
A total solar eclipse will take place on 13-14 November 2012 (UTC),
beginning locally on November 13 west of the International Date Line
over northern Australia, and ending on November 14 east of the date line
off the western South American coast. Its greatest magnitude is 1.0500,
occurring only 12 hours before perigee, with greatest eclipse totality
lasting just over 4 minutes.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun,
thereby totally or partially 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, blocking all direct Sunlight, turning day into
darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across the surface of the
Earth, while a partial solar eclipse will be visible over a region
thousands of kilometers wide.

For this eclipse totality will be visible from northern Australia and
the southern Pacific Ocean. The most populous city to experience
totality will be Cairns, which will experience 2 minutes of totality
just an hour after daybreak (06:38 AEST, 20:38 UTC) with the Sun at an
altitude of just 14°. Norfolk Island, a small pacific island east of
Australia, will experience a partial eclipse with a maximum of 98% of
the Sun obscured at 09:37 NFT and an altitude of 42°.
Parts of northern New Zealand will experience a partial eclipse.
Auckland will have 87.0% of the Sun obscured, whereas Wellington,
Christchurch and Dunedin will respectively have 76.4%, 68.9% and 61.5%
of the Sun obscured. Maximum eclipse over New Zealand will occur around
10:30 NZDT (21:30 UTC), with Auckland at 10:28, Wellington at 10:34,
Christchurch at 10:35 and Dunedin at 10:36.
Parts of central Chile, specifically the Los Ríos and Los Lagos regions
from Valdivia (63% obscured) south to Quellón (54% obscured) will see a
partial eclipse with over half the Sun obscured at sunset, over the
coast. Points north up to about Santiago will see the eclipse begin as
the Sun is setting.
When seen from west of the International Date Line the eclipse will take
place on the morning of November 14. Greatest eclipse, of duration 4 min
2 sec, will occur east of the International Date Line on November 13,
approximately 2000 km east of New Zealand, and 9600 km west of Chile.
In February of 2008, Earth Changes Media made headlines providing
evidence of a connection between a Solar and Lunar Eclipse and
catastrophic events. We displayed well documented evidence showing large
earth changing events did occur within a 14 day window prior to, and 14
days immediately following an Eclipse.
Will a similar scenario occur as the result of the coming full solar
eclipse? Let's take a look at history and the scientific evidence of
"cycles". Below I will list the dates of 'full lunar eclipse' from 2001
to 2011.
Although earthquakes are certainly at the top of all emergency
managements list, volcanoes are not far behind. I am most concerned with
recent volcanic events in Northern and Central America which may be
progress to full eruptions.
