Partial solar eclipse


If you are a superstitious person, a solar eclipse on the first day of the Lunar New Year may seem like a bad omen, but for many people here, in Singapore, it's rare to see a solar eclipse. Many gathered at the Observatory Centre in the Science Centre, fascinations and enthusiasm fills the place as the personnel there explains the eclipse to the people looking through the telescope. It's not a total eclipse but it covers a good 80% of it and it was very clear until it went behind the clouds.

I remembered looking at one when I was younger, with the same fascination and enthusiasm, its kinda nostalgic...
