Full Solar Eclipse in Tamilnadu
A full solar eclipse was seen at Kanyakumari, South of Tamilnadu, India which is called as Kanganam (Ring or Bangle shape) Solar Eclipse. This is also called as Ring of fire.
This is wonderful to see after a long gap say 108 year. This eclipse started on 15.01.2010, 11.45 am to 1.20 pm and the full eclipse lasted for about 10 minutes. The moon covered fully the sun during 1.10 to 1.20 pm.
The last time India saw this ‘Ring of Fire’ was November 22, 1965. The next longest annular solar eclipse will only be seen in 3043. I watched this amazing event only on TV.
