According to AL-Ujairy Kuwait will experience a solar eclipse on 8:30 Friday morning the 15th of January. The eclipse is expected to last 2hrs 35 minutes so everybody get your glasses ready and enjoy this phenomenon.
The first solar eclipse of 2010 occurs at the Moon's ascending node in western Sagittarius. An annular eclipse will be visible from a 300-km-wide track that traverses central Africa, the Indian Ocean and eastern Asia (Espenak and Anderson, 2008). A partial eclipse is seen within the much broader path of the Moon's penumbral shadow, which includes Eastern Europe, most of Africa, Asia, and Indonesia (Figure 1).
Such a long annular duration will not be exceeded for over 1000 years (3043 Dec 23).
