General information
On the Morning of July 22, 2009 there will be a total eclipse of the sun which will be visible from certain areas of Nepal.
A total eclipse of sun takes place when the moon passes between the sun and the earth and its shadow is cast onto the earth's surface
Along a narrow track across the planet, the sun is completely obscured - the eclipse is total. Outside the path of the totality, there is a broad area where the sun is partially covered or eclipsed.
Total eclipses of the sun are spectacular and awe inspiring. For those within the path of the totality, there are dramatic effects as the moon's shadow races across the earth's surface
Just before the sun disappears behind the moon, it shines through valleys on the moon's rim to create an effect which has been likened to a diamond ring. It then becomes quite dark and the sun's corona, which is normally hidden by the sun's glare, shines forth in a scene of great beauty. Even areas outside the path of the totality of will see the moon's shadow eating up a large part of the sun and it will become noticeably darker.
