Re: 22/07/2009 - Solar total eclipse / Eclipse totale du sol
-----------------------------------
Unfortunately, the weather was not that good for the eclipse...

The next time a total eclipse will be visible in Japan is in September... 2035! At this date, the eclipse will be visible from Hokuriku and northern Kanto.

If this is too far away for you, you can settle for an annular solar eclipse in 2012, visible from 
areas such as the southern Kyushu, Shikoku and Kanto regions.


An excellent HD movie called "Total solar eclipse in Iwo Jima Japan. 22 July 2009 (HD)". With good comments in Japanese, from NHK. Also some great zooms of the sun-moon couple with amazing pictures of the corona.

And another movie taken from the life NHK program, with the usual woman with a stupid voice commenting images...
