Hangzhou - 2009 eclipse totality by Mark Sukhija

By: Mark Sukhija

Totality at Hangzhou was somewhat of a let down with clouds obscuring the eclipse throughout. We didn't even see any of the partial phases.

This was, however, the darkest eclipse I've been present for.

It's a real shame that the longest eclipse of our lives was clouded out - but that's the way it goes. Hopefully it'll be better for the 2012 eclipse in Queensland.
