Question

Answer 1

Hi L.A!

Of course you can see eclipses from Los Angeles! It was only the March 3rd eclipse that people on the west coast missed, because this one happened on the other side of the world.

Get out your calendar and mark these dates (other readers, note, these are all in Pacific Time for people on the US west coast):

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE MOON
Night of August 27-28, 2007 - This summer. Eclipse starts at 1:51 a.m. Pacific Time, with mid-eclipse at 3:38 a.m.

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE MOON
Evening of February 20, 2008 - A sundown eclipse for the west coast, the perfect timing for you. The partial eclipse begins precisely at sunset, 5:43 p.m. Mid-eclipse at 7:26 p.m.

PARTIAL ECLIPSE OF THE MOON
Early morning of June 26, 2010 - You'll only be able to catch the end of this partial eclipse. It starts at 3:17 a.m. but the moon sets before the eclipse ends.

And there will be many more lunar eclipses.

The eclipses of the sun are the hard ones to catch. There's a partial eclipse on March 18 (a week from Sunday), visible (on March 19th) in India, China and Siberia, as well as far western Alaska (on the 18th), but it happens at night for people in California, so you can't see it. Here are the next few that you can see:

PARTIAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN
Late afternoon May 20, 2012 - This will be an annular eclipse of the sun, where the moon moves completely across the sun's face but the lunar disc does not appear large enough to completely cover it. In Los Angeles you'll see a deep partial eclipse shortly before sunset, but if you drive to northern California, you can get into the path of annularity.

PARTIAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN
Mid-afternoon of October 23, 2014 - You see about half the sun's disc covered, about 3:30 p.m. Pacific Time.

PARTIAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN
Morning of August 21, 2017 - This will be the first total eclipse of the sun visible in the United States since February 1979. You'd have to drive to Oregon to see the total eclipse, but California will be under a partial eclipse starting at 9:05 a.m., with mid-eclipse at 10:20 a.m. Pacific Time.

Of course, what your waiting to know is, when will be the next TOTAL eclipse of the sun visible at Los Angeles? You'll have a bit of a wait, I'm afraid. It's going to be just after sunrise of September 3, 2472 which, if you think about it, is in the time of Captain Kirk of Star Trek fame! So, perhaps there is a grain of truth in some of the goofy answers others have given. (giggles)
