The Longest Total Solar Eclipse of the 21st Century

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

An unbelievable vision, when sun no longer remains a furnace but relegates itself to a mere dark rock. Its shining fringe is like the silver mane of hair of some aged celestial divinity; and stars glitter again, caught out of place in these out-of-joint nightly settings in otherwise bright sunny daytime.
Mark your calendars folks, July 22, year 2009, its surya-grahana time in India again. But this grand cosmic spectacle stands itself apart from the normal solar eclipses, this is even better - a total solar eclipse. And most importantly the next one is coming after 78 long years, probably when you & I would be watching it from the heaven above. But that’s not all; the total solar eclipse will be of longest duration during this century. In Bihar it will be nearly four minutes & in Iwo-Jima, near the Guam Islands in the Far East, its visibility will be as long as six minutes.
It will be the third total solar eclipse to be visible in India in the past 15 years. The last two eclipses happened in 1999 and 1995. The route the eclipse will take is from Surat, Indore and other cities in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, parts of Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Sikkim and Assam. The sun would be covered up to 95 percent in Mumbai and 80 percent in New Delhi. It will be also visible in neighbouring countries like Bhutan, China and the Tibet region, then in Japan and the Guam Islands.
The nearest place for Delhi & NCR people to enjoy the total eclipse is Varanasi. There are so many trips for this special occasion & BookMyKhana.com wishes you to relish this once in a lifetime opportunity. But on a serious note, scientists are saying that 52 percent harmful infrared rays would be emitted during the eclipse & can cause serious eye related problems. BookMyKhana.com urges everyone to adopt safety measures, while watching this one of a kind spectacle.
