well … it’s been in for a while, and they have even started organising official tours to see it: Shanghai and Ningbo will see a full solar eclipse on Wednesday the 22nd July 2009. This solar eclipse is special not only because it will occur in a place that I actually know and live in, but because it will be the longest total solar eclipse that will occur in the 21st century. It will last up to 6 minutes and 39 seconds and guess where I will be to see it? On the other side of the planet! Yeah trust my luck to be in the right place at the right time … nothing exciting happens in this backwater that calls itself Ningbo for decades and then the one time that something exciting, monumental and in fact historic does happen … I’m not around to see it! Cheers, thanks for that … Below a picture of the solar eclipse from the NASA website, in case you’re interested:
