The annular solar eclipse of January 15 2010 will be visible across Africa, the Indian Ocean, India, Sri Lanka, and south-east Asia. The annular phase runs from 05:13:54 UT (India - Local Time 10:43:54 AM) , when the eclipse begins in the Central African Republic, to the end of the eclipse on the Chinese Yellow Sea coast at 08:59:01 UT ( India - Local Time 2:29:01 PM ). The maximum eclipse is at 07:06:31 UT, when the annular phase will last just over 11 minutes.
The partial eclipse will be visible over eastern Africa, south-east Europe, the Middle East, and south-east Asia between 04:05:26 UT
( India - Local Time 9:35:26 AM ) and 10:07:33 UT ( India - Local Time 3:37:33 PM ).
India
The path of the annular eclipse passes over the Maldives at around 07:24 UT
(India - Local Time 12:55:00 PM) here, the eclipse path is down to 328km wide,
but the duration will be almost 11 minutes on the center-line. The track next
reaches India; although the center-line just misses the mainland, this should
still be a spectacular sight for people in the south-west of the sub-continent.
North-eastern Sri Lanka also has a good view, and the center-line just clips
land at 07:54 UT (India - Local Time 1:24:00 PM). The path is 323km wide here,
and the eclipse will last over 10 minutes.
Partial solar eclipse can be also seen
from other part of India .
An annular eclipse occurs when the Moon covers the centre of the Sun, but not its edges, leaving a ring (or annulus) of the Sun visible around its edges. This image illustrates how an annular eclipse can occur:
Here, the Moon in its elliptical orbit is farther from the Earth, and the umbra
is too short to reach the Earth. However, the Moon is directly in front of the
Sun, so the parts of the Earth underneath it see a partial eclipse where the
centre of the Sun, rather than a "bite" at the side, is covered. This leaves a
ring -- an annulus -- of the Sun visible round the edges of the Moon. (An
annulus is the shape of a circle with its centre cut out.) Technically, this is
a central eclipse with a magnitude less than 1.000.
People off to one side of the eclipse track fall under the penumbra (not shown in this diagram, for simplicity), and see a normal partial eclipse.
As with a partial eclipse, an annular eclipse leaves a section of the Sun's photosphere visible at all times, so again it cannot safely be viewed with the naked eye.
