At what time will you see a solar eclipse in Tennessee??

Question

on the west side of TN???

Answer 1

On August 21,  2017 there will be a total eclipse that will cross the state at about a 30 degree angle.  It will be a little east of Nashville.

See the website below:

On April 8, 2024 there will be a total eclipse that will be just to the west of Tennesee.

Answer 2

You will not see it in Tennessee unless you are watching it live on television or Youtube. The eclipse will only be visible in a narrow region extending from extreme northern Canada to Mongolia. Sorry.

If photons have no mass, how can gravity bend light?

Matt Francis, Kamas, Utah

According to Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, published in 1915, gravity is equivalent to the curvature of space. Thus, any particle — no matter what its mass — travels in a distorted path as it passes by a massive body such as the Sun. But Einstein wasn't the first to notice this.

In 1804, more than 100 years before Einstein's theory, German astronomer Johann Georg von Soldner (1776–1833) applied Sir Isaac Newton's equation F=ma — force equals mass times acceleration — to light, which was then thought of as particles. He found the Sun should deflect light passing near its limb.

The calculation works because the force in Newton's equation is proportional to m, the deflected particle's mass. Because mass drops out of the equation, the deflection even of massless particles can be calculated.

Einstein initially obtained the same answer as Soldner. After refining his theory, Einstein's general relativity predicts that light passing by the Sun is deflected by twice as much as Newton's theory predicts. Observations of stars displaced by the 1919 total solar eclipse famously confirmed that Einstein's result was correct. — Scott Dodelson, Center for Particle Astrophysics, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Batavia, Illinois

Robert H all I have to say is "why not".

Answer 4

You Won't

Answer 5

Strange, how did Vivacity's answer get there?

Sorry to tell you the answer is not at all. It will be visible in Northern Canada but not the USA.

However you can watch it on NASA-TV.
