Stuge Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) On Wednesday, 2006 March 29, a total eclipse of the Sun will be visible from within a narrow corridor which traverses half the Earth. The path of the Moon's umbral shadow begins in Brazil and extends across the Atlantic, northern Africa, and central Asia where it ends at sunset in western Mongolia. A partial eclipse will be seen within the much broader path of the Moon's penumbral shadow, which includes the northern two thirds of Africa, Europe, and central Asia.Note :Bold Line shows where people here will be able to see total solar Eclipse of 29th March 2006Some Intersting Facts :1.)Eclipse comes from a greek word meaning abandonment -the ancients saw it as sun abandonment Earth.The ancient Chinese would bang pots to froghten away the eclipsing "dragon".2.)Earliest Record of Solar Eclipse :2134 BC in China There are many People from India are going to Turkey to See total solar Eclipse ..In Delhi It will be only partial Solar Eclipse Warning :Never See SUN Directly with naked eyes IT`S DANGEROUS until you have special fiters or glasses (both only for 1-or 2sec)Like these ..
