Eclipse Countdowns

Quick Instructions

Astronomical events, such as a solar eclipse, are relatively rare. Having a countdown to such an event helps to build up the anticipation.

This sample countdown clock has a few predefined astronomical events that can be used to prefill the form with one click.

You can find more dates of solar and lunar eclipses and other astronomical events, such as Mercury transitions, at NASA's Eclipse Home Page.

Just edit the title to be whatever you would like it to be and click on the Generate Pop-up Code or Generate iFrame Code button.

If your site or blog does not allow iframes or JavaScript, you can generate the URL for a link instead. For more instructions and explanations of all the options go to the Countdown Clock Help Page.
