The Sun

I guess you'd have to call me an Eclipse Chaser. My favorite website for information about eclipses is the NASA Eclipse Web Site managed by Fred Espenak.

Here are the Total Eclipses of the Sun that I have witnessed:

  1. Feb 26, 1979 near Sunnyside, WA, USA
  2. Jul 11, 1991 in San Blas, Mexico
  3. Nov 3, 1994 near Oruro, Bolivia
  4. Oct 24, 1995 at Fatehpur Sikri, India
  5. Aug 11, 1999 in Romania
  6. Mar 29, 2006 in Salum, Egypt
  7. Aug 1, 2008 near Biysk, Russia (Siberia)

And naturally I want to see the next one, on Jul 22, 2009 near Japan!
