Total Solar Eclipse

As I promised before, here is the image of those eclipse visible on August 1, in parts of Canada, northern Greenland, the Arctic, central Russia, Mongolia and China. The eclipse swept across Earth in a narrow path that began in Canada’s northern province of Nunavut and ended in northern China’s Silk Road region.

These images are taken from the NASA streaming video. The sun appears differently in some of the images because of the different filters used to capture the event. Times listed are approximate.

At 6:54 a.m. ET, clouds began to roll in, threatening to block out the total eclipse. The clouds began to break at 7:06 a.m., and the sky cleared long enough for views of totality at 7:10 a.m.

This image shows the Aug. 1, 2008, solar eclipse at the point of totality, when the moon completely blocks out the body of the sun, revealing the normally hidden, halo-like corona.

This "diamond ring" image shows the Aug. 1, 2008, solar eclipse at a point when the moon almost completely covered up the body of the sun.

And here is the video-actually it's already been cut/edited by NASA...Hmm, baik daripada tiada rite?!Click here. Enjoy the phenomen and.....please remember;

"Apakah kamu tidak memperhatikan (penciptaan) Tuhanmu, bagaimana Dia memanjangkan (dan memendekkan) BAYANG-BAYANG dan kalau Dia menghendaki niscaya Dia menjadikan tetap BAYANG-BAYANG itu, kemudian Kami jadikan matahari sebagai petunjuk atas BAYANG-BAYANG itu" (Al-Furqaan ayat 45).

“Ia bertanya: Bilakah hari kiamat itu? Maka apabila, mata terbelalak (ketakutan). Dan apabila bulan telah hilang cahayanya, dan matahari dan bulan dikumpulkan” (Al-Qiyamah, 75 : 7-9).

“Kitabullah ini tidak ada keraguan padanya petunjuk bagi mereka yang bertaqwa kepada Allah” (Al-Baqarah,2 : 2).

Firman Allah bermaksud, “…iaitu orang-orang yang mengingati Allah, sambil berdiri, duduk, atau sambil berbaring. Dan mereka memikirkan tentang kejadian langit dan bumi (lalu berdoa): Ya Tuhan kami, tidaklah engkau menciptakan semua ini dengan sia-sia. Maha suci engkau, maka peliharalah kami daripada azab api neraka.” (Ali ‘Imran, 3: 191)

.....moga dengan fenomena yang berlaku menambah rasa iman dan takut kita terhadap hari yang pasti, hari Kiamat.
