I'm so going to miss this eclipse of a lifetime!! Before the eclipse starts, I'm already in office. The eclipse will be partially visible in Singapore from 8.41am to 9.44am, peaking at 9.11am on 22 July.
During the July 22 solar eclipse, the Sun will be completely blacked out, and day will turn to night for 6 minutes, the longest eclipse this century. Complete darkness will affect a swathe of land that will stretch across parts of India, Bangladesh, China and the Pacific Ocean, but which will be just 16km- to 32km-wide. In Singapore, which is outside the band, the Sun will be partially cloaked.
A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes in front of the Sun and blocks it. While there are up to five eclipses a year, total eclipses are rare, happening in the same location once every 370 years and lasting mere seconds to minutes. The last one which lasted about 2 1/2 minutes was on Aug 1 last year.
To catch the sight in its full glory, a small band of eclipse-chasers from the Astronomical Society of Singapore will be travelling to the Chinese city of Wuhan, about 600km west of Shanghai, to view and photograph the spectacle. So stay tune for the photos updates later. If you are like me stuck in the office, you may want to bookmark http://www.live-eclipse.org as its an online live telecast from Japan. Hope my office is not blocking this URL.
Special Live Telecast on Channel U "日全食-世纪奇景全程直播 (首播) Total Solar Eclipse Special ( 资讯节目Info/Education )" at 8am & "精华版" repeat telecast at 11.30pm.
