Solar Eclipse: July, 2009
July 20, 2009 | National Geographic

A total solar eclipse will occur on July 22, 2009. It will have a longer duration than any other solar eclipse of the 21st Century because the moon will be near perigee.

The eclipse will be visible through southern Asia (India, Nepal, China, Japan) and over the Pacific Ocean. The event has attracted many tourists to areas where the total eclipse is expected to be visible.

The animation at right shows how the shadow of the eclipse will pass over Asia and the Pacific.
