Total Solar Eclipse 2009
This is the LONGEST total solar eclipse in this century. It will be observed
on July 22, 2009.
The totality lasts so long as 6 minutes 39 seconds ! (at the maximum spot)
Don't miss it !
Here, I would like to introduce a little about the places in Japan we can
see this spectacular show of this century.
