The next total solar eclipse will occur on 11th July 2010 and the umbral shadow will pass mostly through the Pacific Ocean. The total solar eclipse will begin at 18.15.15 GMT in the Pacific Ocean, north-east of New Zealand, will travel across the ocean and ultimately will end in Patagonia which is the southernmost part of South America, at 20.51.42 GMT. Thus, the eclipse can be viewed from several small islands in French Polynesia like the Tuamotu and Easter Island. The eclipse will end just off the coast of Southern Argentina and Chile, as the sun will set in a spectacular ‘Black Sunset.’ Black Sunset because exactly at the time of the sunset, the Moon will cover the almighty Sun completely. So make your plans for a trip to Argentina, Chile or Easter Island and experience the beauty of an eclipse.
