Gerhana Matahari seperti yang diwar-warkan yang mempunyai tempoh terpanjang tidak kelihatan di Ipoh. Menurut laporan akhbar The Star, kalaupun gerhana ini kelihatan ianya hanyalah sekitar 18% di Perlis dan mungkin 10% di Ipoh. Tapi pagi-pagi lagi gambar yang sempat saya tangkap pada jam 7.45 cuma menunjukkan matahari berwarna oren kesan dari jerebu tebal seperti di bawah.
Gerhana matahari adalah jelas kelihatan di India dan China seperti gambar di bawah:

KUALA LUMPUR: This century’s longest total solar eclipse can be observed as a partial solar eclipse in Malaysia between 8:23am and 9:48am on Wednesday.
However, it would be difficult to view the phenomenon with naked eyes as only 17.8% of the sun would be obscured by the moon, head of Angkasa space science research unit Mhd Fairos Asillam said.
The northern part of Peninsular Malaysia would be the best place to observe the eclipse, he said in a statement.
The total solar eclipse, which would last for six minutes and 39 seconds, would pass through Ryuku Islands in Japan and through the Pacific Ocean, he said.
Mhd Fairos said the moon’s umbral shadow would begin covering India and then Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar and China.
Mhd Fairos said Angkasa, the national space agency, would sent three officers to carry our research and take data as well as images of the eclipse in Jinshan, Shanghai, China.
Several groups would also carry out expeditions in China, among them University of Malaya, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Malaysian Islamic Development Department, Malaysian Syarie Astronomy Association, Stargazer Scientific and Falak Online, he said.
Malaysians would be able view the live webcasts of the eclipse through the websites www.exploratorium.edu/eclipse/2009/index.html, www.saros.org/index.html and www.eclipsetv.com.
Malaysians would be able to observe a partial solar eclipse on Jan 15, 2010, March 9, 2016 and Dec 26, 2019, he said. -- Bernama
