Solar Eclipse on 15 Jan 2010
The next solar eclipse visible in Singapore will fall on 15 January 2010. This is an annular solar eclipse. The annular eclipse will be visible in some parts of Central Africa, the Indian Ocean and China. Uganda, Kenya, the Maldives and some parts of China will witness the annular eclipse. Singapore will only see a partial eclipse, and at maximum, about 33% of the Sun will be covered by the Moon.
The circumstances of eclipse in Singapore are as follows:
3:10 p.m. Start of eclipse
4:26 p.m. Eclipse at Maximum (33% covered)
5:32 p.m. End of eclipse.
This will be the only solar eclipse visible in Singapore for the year 2010. There will be no solar eclipse visible in Singapore in 2011 and 2012. The next solar eclipse visible in Singapore after 15 Jan 2010 is three years down the road - 10 May 2013.
Alnitak will collaborate with Masjid Kampung Siglap to observe the eclipse and perform solat Kusuf on that day.
Please note that it is dangerous to observe the Sun with your unaided eye. You can observe the eclipse safely by using our solar film priced at $6 each. Contact us to order. Email alnitak@alnitak.com.sg or call 6256 4825.
