PAIafasteTODOmalAMEM! Today's "online eclipse" as a composite of the 10 screenshots I took - no clear view of annularity was seen from anywhere, but frantically switching between webcasts and image feeds for 2+ hours was pretty exciting. Composite of (deep) partial images of today's annular solar eclipse as it appeared on Christmas Island, outside the zone of totality. Amazingly, this seems to have been the weather situation around the time when http://twitpic.com/17e6s was taken. The almost perfect ring from Indonesia, albeit through heavy clouds! Frustrated observers in Indonesia - from http://www.angkasa.gov.my/solar_eclipse/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=297 run in Malaysia. Annularity is about now. Very deep partiality from Christmas Island via http://is.gd/heUM - it's now very obvious that the Moon is smaller than the Sun. Too bad Xmas Isl. is outside the path of annularity. Here is another webcast, at http://tinyurl.com/bdx3hc, showing deep partial phases from Malaysia - seems all of Asia is trying to webcast this eclipse! Deeper partiality in Indonesia, captured from the http://hichannel.hinet.net/event/2009ase webcast - the cloud situation seems to be changing all the time. Live pictures of the partially eclipsed Sun, displayed at http://www.astronomy2009.org.za/moonshadow/shadow.html#apDiv0012 - the left one is from Christmas Island, the right one from Indonesia. Another view of the partial phases, this time via http://www.astronomy2009.org.za/moonshadow/shadow.html#apDiv0012 from Christmas Island (which will get no annularity). A screenshot from the Chinese webcast http://hichannel.hinet.net/event/2009ase of the ongoing annular solar eclipse in Indonesia, showing the first partiality.
