Solar Eclipse

15.10.2010 - Annular Solar Eclipse

Eclipse Magnitude - 0.919

Central Duration - 11m08s       

Today's annular solar eclipse is visible from a broad track across Africa, the Indian Ocean and south Asia.

Which means we get to see too!! but I didn't bother to haha

So it's like what we always learn...

Penumbra, umbra, lunar node, apogee, perigee, aphelion, perihelion dot dot dot...

It's quite a big thing in our school today...

Hmm.. but it's rather common nowadays to see eclipses..

However.. lots and lots and lots of generations later they won't get to see a Total Solar Eclipse anymore :(

Coz the moon gets further away from the earth by 4cm every year right?

Sooo they'll only get to see annular solar eclipses..

aww.. how sad!!

I like the diamond ring during a total eclipse! It is soooo pretty!!

Baily's beads isn't that nice thou.. to me..

But isn't our God awesome??

How amazing are the things that he created :)

Happy solar eclipsing!! :)
