On Wednesday, August 11, 1999, a total eclipse of the Sun was visible from within a narrow corridor that traverses the Eastern Hemisphere. The path of the Moon's umbral shadow begins in the Atlantic and crosses Central Europe, the Middle East, and India where it ends at sunset in the Bay of Bengal. This event was the last total solar eclipse of the 20th century, and it will benefit formal and informal education communities alike |
