(click to see more photos) Fred Espenak (c) 2012 Introduction An eclipse of the Sun (or solar eclipse) can only occur at New Moon when the Moon passes between Earth and Sun. If the Moon's shadow falls upon Earth's surface, we see some portion of the Sun's disk covered or 'eclipsed' by the Moon. Since New Moon occurs every 29 1/2 days, you might think that we should have a solar eclipse about once a month. The Moon's shadow has three parts two of which are nested inside the third.
There are four types of solar eclipses: The number of solar eclipses in a single year can range from 2 to 5.

National Security Agency (NSA) Releases UFO Files. It’s November 2012, many people on the planet are aware that dozens of governments have been releasing their UFO files.
Thousands of UFO files are now available in the public domain. These files indicate that governments have departments within them that monitor and study the UFO phenomenon. Three letter agencies have also followed suit, as in 2011 the NSA released a batch of their ufo files. So what can we take away from all of these files? We or at least some of us interpreted their visits as threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after. Many people on the planet are going through their own awakening and transformations.
