Update/ Solar Eclipse

As a very interested human being in all natural phenomena, I woke up at 6 AM this morning. Went to the top of the hotel nearby as agreed previously with some acquaintances. We have seen something :) It was mainly cloudy in Bangalore. Still this weird half light and darkness sent goosies on me.

In Bangalore was partial eclipse as in Delhi. One of my new Hungarian "acquaintances" sent the below pictures:) Thanks Peter!

Nagy huhoval kirontottam a lakasbol reggel 6-kor, talalkoztam az ismerosokkel es felmentunk a Royal Orchid tetejere. Eleg borus volt az ido, ennek ellenere jokat nevettunk es erdekes volt. Ezutan a teveben neztem ujra a TELJES napfogyatkozast :)

Uj Delhibol kaptam az alabbi fotokat. Koszi Peter :)

There is a prediction that there will be another tsunami or earthquake hitting on 22 July 2009. Predicted that it is going to be really bad and countries like Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak), Singapore, Maldives, Australia, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, Philippines are going to be badly hit. We have been asked to stay away from the beaches in July. Better to be safe than sorry. The Earth rotates beneath the Moon faster than the Moon orbits the Earth. So in theory before / after the eclipse there could be some shifting in the tidal magma beneath the tectonic plate. The whole 2nd part of July can be interesting.

The eclipse quake theory is as follows: when the gravitational force of the Sun and Moon are both pulling on a plate that has not had series of recent earthquakes, the extra pull is all that is needed to "pop the seam" and cause a major quake. Let's hope that this will not happen!

Hope the swimming pool is not dangerous :D

A honap teljes hatralevo napjaira foldrenges es tsunami veszely van kituzve. Mivel a Hold ma 3 tektonikus lemezt szelt at, nagy a valoszinusege egy 6+ erossegu foldrengesnek es ennek kovetkezteben tsunaminak Oceania teljes teruleten. Japant olvastam mint elso szamu veszelyes hely a tersegben. Remeljuk a legjobbakat. Nem megyek tengerhez kozel 3 hetig! Remelem az uszomedence nem veszelyes :D :D :D

Longest solar eclipse of the 21st century! 22 July 2009

Wowwwwwwww!!!!!!! This phenomenon resulted in a big turist interest in eastern China and India! http://www.shadowandsubstance.com/

The solar eclipse of July 22, 2009 (tomorrow morning!!) will be the longest total solar eclipse of the 21st century, lasting almost 6 minutes, 39 seconds. The last record setting was in 1991, July 11th. The next event will be on the 2nd of August, 2027 but the one tomorrow will only be surpassed in duration in 2132, June 13. The exceptional duration is a result of the Moon being near perigee with the diameter of the Moon 8% larger than the Sun. Do you know what is perigee? Let me tell you :) It is the point in the orbit of the Moon or a satellite at which is nearest to the Earth.

Hope it is not going to be cloudy. Let me update you tomorrow evening :)

Skacok, holnap reggel a 21. szazad leghosszabb, teljes napfogyatkozasat nezhetem meg Indiaban. 6 perc es 36 masodperc. A kovetkezo napfogyatkozas 2027-ben lesz, de a legkozelebbi ilyen hosszu napfogyatkozas 2132 Junius 13 an lesz. Na kivancsi vagyok erre:D A Hold a legkozelebb lesz a Foldhoz holnap...8% szelesebb mint a Nap. Na remelem nem lesz felho :) Holnap este elmeselem mi volt!
