before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish."

Did not even notice that yesterday was my 350th blip :) only 15 to go to the big 365!


This was taken this morning at 08h38.

The partial solar eclipse, which was visible all across Southern Africa, was most prominent in Cape Town.

Cape Town experienced 65 percent coverage of the sun, Durban had a 46 percent coverage, while Johannesburg had only a 35 percent coverage.

Astronomers said the next partial solar eclipse will be visible in Cape Town on 25 November 2011.

According to astronomers, the greatest eclipse that will last six minutes 39 seconds and the longest total solar eclipse between 1991 and 2132 will be on 22 July later this year.

Cannot find more information on where this eclipse will be... do you know?
