3.29 eclipse video coverage

"On March 29th, a total solar eclipse will be visible from parts of Africa. Scientists from the University of Cape Coast in Ghana will be webcasting live video coverage of this event. Windows to the Universe will be a mirror site for the webcast."


"The Solar eclipse is a magnificant natural event that one can see maybe only once in a lifetime [well, that's not really true; they happen every 18 months... just gotta pack bags to see them -- Ed.]. The last total solar eclipse in Turkey occured on August 11th, 1999, which was observed by hundreds of thousands of local and foreign people. On March 29, 2006, our country will experience another total solar eclipse, which will last almost 4 minutes."


"On Wednesday, March 29, 2006, a total solar eclipse will occur as the moon moves directly between the earth and the sun. The moon's shadow will fall on the earth, first darkening the western shore of Brazil, and then moving across the Atlantic Ocean to make landfall in Ghana, Africa. It will continue moving northeast through Niger, Nigeria, Libya, Egypt, across the Mediterranean and into Turkey, where an Exploratorium team will be waiting."
