Gerhana Matahari Today Euy

Friday, January 15th, 2010
Gerhana matahari as we are at earth and we will be able to see that moon is going to block the light of sun as it totally covers the sun. There are three types of eclipses that occur and these are total solar eclipse, partial solar eclipse and annual gerhana matahari or solar eclipse. It is the longest total solar eclipse in the 21st century and will not beat in duration until next 123 years. The most eclipse duration of 6 minutes and 43 seconds occurs far off the coast in the Pacific Ocean.

Nine degrees to the WNW will be Pollex (M 1.2) followed by Castor (M 1.6) another four and half degrees further along the same path. Over 40 degrees to the West of the Sun will be Venus shining brightly with a Magnitude of -4. Saturn will be 49 degrees to the East of the Sun at about Magnitude 1. A more eastern location is recommended with good mobility being significant.
