Total Solar Eclipse 2008 & 2009
Such is the fascination of a total eclipse that umbraphiles from all over the world are already at an advanced planning stage for 2008/09 solar events. Bradt’s new guide, Total Solar Eclipse 2008 & 2009 ensures that those seeking out one of the briefest but most profoundly moving natural spectacles, make the most of their viewing opportunity.Total Solar Eclipse 2008 & 2009.
Author Sheridan Williams covers the August 2008 and July 2009 eclipses in detail, offering useful advice on travelling to the regions of totality, including path maps, essential weather information and tables showing how every stage of the eclipse may be observed from each location. The guide includes a special section on eclipse-watching safety and details how to successfully photograph or video the event. For committed eclipse-chasers the final chapter is a dedicated holiday planner, giving details of forthcoming eclipses over the next 12 years – the next ‘British’ eclipse passes across the tiny island of Rockall, a name synonymous with Radio 4’s Shipping Forecast, in 2015.
Sheridan Williams is a member of the British Astronomical Association and since building his own telescope in 1966, has travelled to see nine total eclipses and one annular eclipse. He has appeared on television and radio, including presenting Sky TV’s total eclipse programme from Cornwall in 1999.
