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 the 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 [9:35 p.m. CST - my mistake earlier] 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.
