Eclipse 2006
 On
Wednesday, 29 March 2006, the shadow of the Moon will sweep a band
starting from Brazil, through Atlantic Ocean, Gold Coast of Africa,
Saharan Desert, Mediterranean Sea, Turkey, Black Sea, Georgia, Russian
Federation, northern shores of Caspian Sea, Kazakhstan; ending in Mongolia.
The duration of totality will be less than 2 minutes near the sunrise and
sunset limits, but will be as long as 4 minutes and 7 seconds in Libya, at
the moment of greatest eclipse. The path of totality will be 180
kilometers wide at that moment.
The partial phases will be witnessed by all of
Europe. All Asia west of Yakutsk, Mongolia, central China and Myanmar, and
north of the line joining Bombay and Calcutta will see some of the Moon in
front of the Sun. Also, only the southeastern parts of Africa will miss
the partial eclipse.
