Solar eclipse, Southern India, 26th Dec (yes, in a week's time)

[Naturelover]

An annular solar eclipse is coming our way on the 26th.
It will hit India on the west coast between Mangalore and Kozhikode and follow a south easterly path to the east coast.

This is not a total eclipse but an annular one where the moon does not cover the sun fully.
An annular ring of fire is seen around the moon. Hence the name annular eclipse.

Details on this website and many other sites.
Excellent interactive site. You can click on the town name and get details of time of the eclipse there.

Looks beautiful. Never witnessed or experienced an Eclipse so far. But the virtual iteration is awesome.

Only auditioned Eclipse CD7200.

The best place to watch this is Wayanad. You can even book a premium viewing location on top of a hill through the district tourism promotion council. Have a look at wayanadtourism.org

Guys, please use proper eyewear to watch the eclipse.
These should be available locally in the path of the eclipse shadow.

Taken in Ooty with a handycam. The circles were actually perfectly concentric, I can assure you .
Wish I had had a better camera.
