Total Eclipse in Japan
August 1st, 2009 by Miguel
A total solar eclipse was observed on July 22, 2009 in Japan. Although it was only the southern islands that observed the total eclipse, all of the Japan was able to observe a partial eclipse. It has been 46 years since the last total eclipse in Japan, and the next one will be in 26 years. It lasted as long as 6 minutes 39 seconds at the maximum spot. My mom told me that just before the eclipse started the noisy cicada (a common insect in Japanese summer) stopped crying. She felt strange about the silence. Unfortunately, I’ve never seen a total eclipse. I would love to see it sometime in my life. It must be very beautiful and spectacular.
