Solar eclipse March 29th

Just a heads up for anyone who is going to be out and about on March 29th, there is going to be a Solar eclipse best visible in the Asia, Africa or eastern coast of South America areas. Hope someone gets a nice show!

That is wonderful to see. And even more magnificent to see it from onboard ship!

The Prinsendam will be in the Mediterannean at that time. Supposedly, the itenerary was chosen to provide one of the better viewing opportunities... hence the name of the voyage: "Circle of the Sun".

A solar eclipse will not be affected much by light pollution... a lunar eclipse would be affected, though. Atmospheric pollution will affect the clarity of the corona on a solar eclipse, so being at sea should help... if the clouds cooperate and stay away.

We will be in Hawaii at that time. Hopefully the rains will be over by that time.

This link shows the NASA map of the solar eclipse. Looks like the Caribbean is out of luck. http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/SEmono/TSE2006/TSE2006.html
