Sept 22, 2006
An annular solar eclipse occurs on Friday, 22 September, 2006. While this eclipse has a very wide path and long durations, this means that the Sun will not be darkened as much as by a shorter-lasting eclipse; and as with any annular eclipse, this is never safe to view with the naked eye. The eclipse briefly touches South America at dawn; but the rest of the path is over ocean. Hence, it seems unlikely to attract much attention.

The total eclipse starts in Guyana, in South America, at 09:48:32 UT, and ends in the southern Indian Ocean at 13:31:34 UT. The maximum eclipse is at 11:40:11 UT, when the total phase will last over 7 minutes. The partial eclipse will be visible over large areas of South America, and western and southern Africa between 08:39:57 UT and 14:40:14 UT.

You know there's a spell checker here, right?

There's an eclipse next month, but apparently very few people will be able to see it, considering that most of it will be only visible from over the Atlantic Ocean.

Check the schedule on Nasa's website...here's a link.
