A few more impressions from the eclipse chasers at Ramada Plaza Sino-Bay Hotel, Jinshan, China. Not only that we were clouded out during totality, there was also ample supply of drenching rain afterwards. ;-) Thanks to Silvia Otto and Jan Sundström for the images.

[Unfortunately, there’s no higher resolution version of the images.]

Total Solar Eclipse 22 Jul 2009 – Clouded Partially Eclipsed Sun

At the end, it didn’t work out. We were only partially sucessful, so to speak. Just a few glimpses of the sun thru the clouds between 1st and 2nd contact, and even heavy rain after 3rd contact. The deep darkness was impressing, nevertheless.

Some useful resources for the upcoming total solar eclipse 22 July 2009, the longest one during the 21st century, just a bit short of 6 mins on the east coast of China.
