Solar and Lunar Eclipses Worldwide – Next 10 yearsĪll Solar and Lunar Eclipses from 1900 to 2099. One of those flights in my 55 years of flying that you don’t easily forget. It was all over in about half an hour as the darkness started to slowly and then more rapidly dissolving into a brown shadowy world that rapidly got brighter and brighter. The black darkness, a totally black shadow was the effect of the mid eclipse path shading out towards full daylight light visible on the edges of the far horizons to the north and the south was a quite extraordinary feeling as that sort of effect between daylight and darkness just wasn’t supposed to happen in human experience. To say the effect of the eclipse from the 3 or 4000 feet we were flying at was weird and just a little frightening was probably being a bit coy about the real feelings. ![]() ![]() ![]() Back in 1976 when a full solar eclipse passed through southern Victoria in mid arvo in SE Australia three of us climbed into my mate’s Auster light aircraft and flew the 100 or so kilometres south right to the middle of the eclipse path at it’s most intense.
