Day 140
Teddy waits for the eclipse...
So I found out yesterday that there will be a gulf solar eclipse in the morning of the 15th. It would be an annular eclipse and would be the longest eclipse of the millennium. The duration of the eclipse would last a bit more than 11 minutes and that it would be visible in Kuwait between 8:18 and 10:52am. The optimum, total eclipse would be at 9:31am. I waited for 2 hours and there was no visible sign of an eclipse! I saw no shadow, no dark spot in the sky, not even a moon anywhere near our sun. I was bummed, because it was a friday and I love my sleep and I was anticipating this moment which never came! Apparently it was very visible in some parts of India. Take a look:

Hard luck Teddy, It seems somebody "Gabbas" ;)
At least you had a tan session :P
Wow! India did SEE the eclipse, didn't they! My friends in Cairo managed to take similar shots of it too...but nothing like that shot of the sun with the moon right in its center ...That one was just remarkable. Thanks Teddy!
I got to see it at around 9:00ish :-D It was just at the bottom part. Nemo posted a picture about http://cute-nemo.blogspot.com/2010/01/kuwait-solar-eclipse-on-15th-of-january_15.html
