Happy FULL Solar Eclipse Day & New Moon! 🌑 The moon passes between Earth and the sun every month, but a total solar eclipse happens only when the three celestial bodies are perfectly aligned. And this particular eclipse is even more special: It’s happening while the moon is at its closest point to Earth—called perigee—making the moon appear larger in the sky, as a Super Moon. The moon casts its dark central shadow, called the umbra, onto a very narrow strip along the surface of the Earth. The strip from which the upcoming total eclipse will be visible lies mostly over the Pacific Ocean. Best viewing: The middle of the Pacific Ocean 🌊🌞 🌑 🌕 🌎 Watch Live: https://live.slooh.com/stadium/live/slooh-live# Read more on my Tumblr: theSurfSoup, Google+ and Facebook @SurfSoup and Follow on Instagram ❤️ #solar #solareclipse #perigee #Moon #fullsolareclipse #eclipse #sun #peace #happynomatterwhat #sky #🌑 #newmoon #solarsystem #Gratitude #Tide #surfer #rare #solareclipse2016 #love #❤️ #💫 #🌊 #stoked #pacificocean #hawaii
