>Just curious, cause we had some write-up in the local papers that this kind on eclipse is occuring after quite some years (last was in 15xx something). True of False?
On the average, there are a little less than 2 solar eclipses per year. These can be seen only on a relatively narrow strip of Earth. The totality zone (in the case of a total eclipse) can be seen in a VERY narrow strip - a few hundred km. wide, at most.
