Information Madness

You might have heard about Solar Eclipse of July 22nd 2009. On Wednesday, 2009 July 22, a total eclipse of the Sun is visible from within a narrow corridor that traverses half of Earth. The path of the Moon's umbral shadow begins in India and crosses through Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar and China. Duration of totality reaches 6 min 39 s. 

This solar eclipse is the longest total solar eclipse that will occur in the twenty-first century, and will not be surpassed in duration until June 13, 2132. So if you want to watch the century's longest Solar Eclipse, you can make it special by flying into a JetLite 737-700 aircraft specially chartered to fly under the lunar shadow.

 

Cox & Kings, an online tour operator has launched a dedicated, non-stop, round eclipse flight, from Delhi to Delhi. The eclipse flight is happening for the first time in India. It is a passenger flight which will take people to see the eclipse at 41,000 feet above the ground. The three-hour flight will take off, fly towards and hold over Gaya till its eclipse time. Gaya is one of the few places in India that will see the total solar eclipse.
