APOD 3.1

This picture interested me because it is something that we have talked about in class. It is of the annular solar eclipse which took place on January 15, 2010. The annular phase of the eclipse lasted for 11 minutes and 8 seconds. This makes this the longest annual solar eclipse to occur in the next 1,000 years. The picture was taken on the southern tip of India, just before mid-eclipse.
