Cuban Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) Full details explained via this image from Nasa, but for the lay viewer: Starts (approx) at 16.00 Thai time ends at 18.00, As seen from Thailand the sun's disc should be about 45% covered, in practical terms it will appear a bit dimmer than normal for that time in the morning. If you can get down South to Java etc. you will see (clouds allowing) a black disc (the moon) with a bright ring of sun behind, this is called an Annular Eclipse. (There will not be a Total Eclipse visable anywhere on earth during this eclipse.) Scroll down about half way on this web site for an animated preview of what to expect. Good Seeing. ------------------------------------- Edit - Link with graphic to help explain what is happening if you need to explain it to someone.

briley Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Cuban - aren't your times GMT (or UTC) so the eclipse will be from 4pm-6pm local in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 ....the sham! Indeed you are correct - times quoted were GMT, so we will should get a better view of the eclipsed disc as the sun sets, as you say 4pm - 6pm. Apologies, I posted before breakfast this morning.

Cuban Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 Unless you use some semi-fancy kit getting pictures of partial eclipse itself is not easy, better to take pictures of people reacting to it rather than the event itself. During the smiley face (moon & two planets) a few weeks/month (?) ago there better photographs of people en-mass taking pictures on their mobile phones than of the 'face' itself.

Dr Pornchai Pacharin-tanakun, a lecturer in the Physics Department of Chulalongkorn University said the solar eclipse on July 22 is the longest total solar eclipse so far in the 21st century with a maximum duration of six minutes and 39 seconds.
