NHK Pacific Ocean live: Solar Eclipse

Live NHK feed from a boat in the Pacific Ocean. Very clear skies, total darkness, and weird orange light all around the horizon. Stars visible. Light before and after the total eclipse was dim, although out in the wide open Pacific under clear skies.

Watch CCTV4 for the solar eclipse live

The live solar eclipse was broadcast over CCTV4 and the feed was from AnHui.

It was dark as night in the city.

The corona was clearly observable for a couple of minutes.

Now switching to Taiwan.

Not Fair - pouring rain, nullified eclipse

Bah !!!

It is raining buckets. I can't tell if the dim light is because of the tropical squall or whether it's the solar eclipse.

solar eclipse 22 July 2009

Well it is 0425 hrs local time which is +8 hours GMT.

I am now at 103ยบ48´ East of Greenwich.

There was a strong wind with smokey smells 1.5 hours earlier ( Approx 0700 hrs local time ) followed by brief rain.

Right now, the sky is overcast, and the light appears dim, somewhat like sunrise on a cloudy morning.

expected window of eclipse at my destination =
08:40:51 to 09:43:55 in the morning
