Before the age of digital cameras and image hosting websites and the spread of the Internet, eclipses were harder to share.
Here’s a rare shot of the 11 July 1991 total solar eclipse over the Pacific Ocean and Hawaii moving across Mexico, through Central America and across South America.
The 1991 total eclipse lasted an incredible 6 minutes and 53 seconds — even longer than the solar eclipse of the century on 22 July 2009 which will last 6 minutes 39 seconds.
But the good thing about this month’s eclipse is — you won’t have to miss it. It will be streamed “live” on SunStopper.sg.
If that’s not good enough, there’s a Hi-Definition version. But you’ll have to leave a comment or message here to find out how.
