If you see only one annular eclipse in your life, make this the one

The longest lasting annular solar eclipse of this millennium will occur on 15 January 2010. It will also be the longest annular eclipse until the year 3043.

The early morning annulus will appear over the three African nations of the Central African Republic, Uganda and Kenya. The greatest eclipse will occur in the Indian Ocean, just west of the Maldives. Shortly after that, the shadow will bring a little less than eleven minutes of annularity to the islands. More from Maldives Science Society site
