A real life awesome experience

Upcoming Total Solar Eclipses

Total Solar Eclipse 

Nowadays, with modern affordable (well sort of for some of us) air travel, you can see and experience a real total solar eclipse in person.

You can even book to go on a cruise ship if the area of maximum is over water! Imagine the thrill of being exactly in the area of totality, so awesome. It must surely be something that cannot be really recorded with just a camera. To experience it in person with your own eyes is the way to go!

Bookmark this valuable page to keep track of ALL future solar eclipses.

There are many kinds of eclipses - total solar, partial solar, annular, and lunar, to name the most common few. Partial eclipses are pretty common, and you very well may have been a part of one of those. Lunar eclipses happen at night, and they can be seen by half the world at the same time! Annular eclipses are much rarer, but you need to have special filters to see them, so many people don't even know they're going on. But a TOTAL eclipse -- these are extremely rare, extremely beautiful, and the bare-eye view of totality is absolutely unmistakable to anyone in the THIN tiny path! They are the ultimate kings of eclipses, with nothing else able to stand in comparison to!

Please scroll down to see upcoming events.

Detailed information about each and every upcoming eclipse will be posted.

As the event becomes closer, flight and cruise information will be posted here.

Total Solar Eclipse

Total Solar Eclipse of 2009 July 22 in Japan and China

The greatest point of eclipse (totality: 6 min 39 sec) the longest for the remainder of our life and of the 21st century lies in the Pacific Ocean southeast of Japan.

The mountainous Japanese island of Ishinomura-Kitaio will offer us 6 minutes and 36 seconds of darkness, and at the same time the best weather on all the eclipse path.

Stay tuned, much more information forthcoming!

The Vital Connection Between the Sun and Your Health

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 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.

See a total solar eclipse in the mainland US!

First total eclipse on American soil since 1991
First on the mainland since 1979
First to sweep across the entire country since 1918

The United States' 26-year dearth of Total Solar Eclipses is about to end! This rarity and beauty is why we are making all this fuss about the 2017 event, and it is why we want everyone to stop whatever they're doing on that day, get to the path, and be absolutely awe-struck and amazed for up to two-and-a-half minutes of totality.

"Only two and a half minutes? No way! I'm not even gonna waste my time for that!"
No, no - believe me - Get yourself there; get to the shadow, and see something you simply won't believe. You won't be wasting your time - not by a long shot.
Trust me.

Please don't leave until you sign my guest-book. Thank you!
