.: Partial Solar Eclipse On Jan 15 :.

Today, 15th January 2010, we will have a another chance to observe a partial solar eclipse, known as the annular solar eclipse, between 3pm and 5.45pm..


A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring Earth's view of the Sun. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun, causing the sun to look like an annulus (ring), blocking most of the Sun's light. An annular eclipse will appear as partial eclipse over a region thousands of kilometers wide. Today partial solar eclipse is the longest eclipse since 1992..

Anyway, i miss this chance because have another things to do..Anyway, anyone who had a chance to observe the partial solar eclipse, can share with us the experience??
