Total Solar Eclipse 21 June 2001

[E0037/Jpg]

The eclipse begins [Lusaka Zambia, 21 June 2001; FinePix 2200]

And then, suddenly and with a flash of the diamond ring, we were in darkness at lunchtime (it was too much for the digicam, which refused to function for the rest of the eclipse).

The tiny dot just below and left of the sun is Jupiter.
