Solar Eclipse in Kenya
on 15th January 2010
Kenya’s Great Rift Valley
should provide optimum viewing conditions for the Solar Eclipse of 15th
January 2010 as the sun will be low on the eastern horizon with a pristine
clear sky practically guaranteed.
The annular eclipse begins at
local dawn, around 05:18 UT in the Central African Republic, as the
Sun begins to rise eclipsed. The full eclipsed Sun is visible by 05:13:54 UT.
The path is 366km wide here, and the eclipse will last over 7 minutes. The
eclipse then moves east, through the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Kenya and Somalia,
reaching the coast at around 05:36 UT. At this point, the path is 348km wide,
and the eclipse will last almost 9 minutes on the centreline.
