March 9, 2016 Total Solar Eclipse over the Pacific

A total eclipse of the Sun on March 9, 2016. Alaska and Hawaii will be the only two states that will be able to view it (as a partial). As you can see, this eclipse crosses the Pacific beginning in the eastern portion of the Indian Ocean. There are many tour ships and planes ready to view this event from many of the Indonesian islands.
Greatest eclipse will occur at 01:57:12 over the Pacific with the greatest duration lasting four minutes and ten seconds. Greatest duration will occur at 01:56:52.(It was nice when the times used to be at the same time.)
The frame rate is 3 frames per minutes which comes to 1080 frames for this video.
There are a few sunrises in this animation which looks like the Sun is popping-up. Anchorage, Honolulu, and the end of the eclipse show the sun disappearing because the Sun is setting at those points.

[@hyrdrogenalpha]

+ruzzhelkirby molina Hi! Your eclipse will begin at 7:51am. It will be at maximum at 8:59am. The eclipse will end in Manila at 10:14am. The Moon will cover 47% of the Sun, so please protect your eyes. A #14 welder's glass will do the trick.

[@KirbyMolina]

+hydrogenalpha Thank you for reminding me 😊😊😊😊😊. I will be waiting for the eclipse

[@hyrdrogenalpha]
