Cea mai lunga Eclipsa de Soare din secolul XXI / 22 Iulie '09
Am gasit o stire interesanta si ma mir ca nu am gasit-o din surse mult mai populare, ci de pe un site de imagini …
Se pare ca anul asta, in 22 Iulie mai precis, va avea loc cea mai lunga eclipsa totala de soare din secolul XXI. Din pacate nu va fi vizibila din Romania … asa ca nu vom avea parte de un nou val de turisti la care sa le vindem cani cu Dracula!
Pe cei pasionati de senzatii interesante (am trecut prin asa ceva cand a avut loc eclipsa din ’99) ii invit sa citeasca articolul de mai jos pentru a afla unde sa se miste. Enjoy!
“The solar eclipse that will take place on Wednesday, July 22, 2009 will be a total eclipse of the Sun with a magnitude of 1.080 that will be visible from a narrow corridor through northern India, eastern Nepal, northern Bangladesh, Bhutan, the northern tip of Myanmar, central China and the Pacific Ocean, including Ryukyu Islands, Marshall Islands and Kiribati.
Totality will be visible in many cities such as Surat, Varanasi, Patna, Thimphu, Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan, Hangzhou and Shanghai, as well as over the Three Gorges Dam. A partial eclipse will be seen from the much broader path of the Moon’s penumbra, including most of South East Asia and north-eastern Oceania.
This solar eclipse is the longest total solar eclipse that will occur in the twenty-first century, and will not be surpassed in duration until June 13, 2132. Totality will last for up to 6 minutes and 39 seconds, with the maximum eclipse occurring in the ocean at 02:35:21 UTC about 100 km south of the Bonin Islands, southeast of Japan.
The North Iwo Jima island is the landmass with totality time closest to maximum.”
