If You Missed The Eclipse

If you missed it, replays of the eclipse are available at the Exploratorium site. Scroll down and select either Program Replay or Telescope-Only Replay.

The next total solar eclipse will be on 22 July 2009, visible from India, China and other places. The maximum duration of totality is 6 minutes 39 seconds. In Shanghai, the eclipse will last over 5 minutes. Compare that to this year's eclipse at 2 minutes 27 seconds maximum duration. Tours are available now.

You'll have a long wait for North America where the next total solar eclipse isn't till 21 August 2017.
