Greatest Eclipse on 22-July 2009

Grestest solar eclipse of the Century

On 22 July Wednesday, a full eclipse of the Sun is visible from within a narrow corridor that traversea half of Earth. The path of the Moon's umbral shadow begins in India and crosses through Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar and China. After leaving mainland Asia, the path crosses Japan's Ryukyu Islands and curves southeast through the Pacific Ocean where the maximum duration of totality reaches 6 min 39 s. A partial eclipse is seen within the much broader path of the Moon's penumbral shadow, which includes most of eastern Asia, Indonesia, and the Pacific Ocean.

For those who have let pass the time for the uncommon space Phenomenon which will happen only after 78 years. A next total solar eclipse will take place in 2087.

Here is some picture to share with your. Althought that is not sharp, but at least see the difference of this phenomenon.
