Astronomer announces century's longest total eclipse on July 22

A local astronomer said that July 22 will mark the century's longest and most spectacular total solar eclipse.

Sun Wei-hsin, a professor at National Taiwan University's Graduate Institute of Astrophysics, 

made the announcement at a news conference hosted by the National Science Council.

Noting that the United Nations has designated 2009 as the International Year of Astronomy, 

( Sun said more than 140 countries around the world have been sponsoring activities 

to promote scientific and astronomical education during the year. )

( "One of the most fascinating activities this year will be observing the upcoming total solar eclipse," Sun said.

The solar eclipse will be total through a narrow corridor stretching from northern India, eastern Nepal, northern

 Bangladesh, Bhutan, the northern tip of Myanmar, central China and a narrow ribbon of the Pacific Ocean 

that includes the Marshall Islands and Kiribati, Sun said, adding that the eclipse will also be partially visible in Taiwan. )
