A spectacular total solar eclipse in a paradise setting

On Sunday 11 July 2010, the total eclipse of the sun will become visible as it traverses from the far South Pacific, passing north-east over the Cook Islands, through our observation site near Tahiti in French Polynesia where we will have between three and a half and four minutes of totality. The path then continues its arc back down over Easter Island, making landfall in the very wintry southern stretches of Patagonia.

Our eclipse observation site Hao, will be a tiny coral atoll, over 3,000 miles from any continental mainland and 500 miles from Tahiti; as we enter totality, imagine the feeling of looking over the warm Pacific waters with just a few others beside you in this most remote of places.

The eclipse path traverses some of the least inhabited parts of this planet, so Tahiti 2010 year, more than any other in recent history, will be viewed by perhaps thousands of people rather than millions.

Be there to experience it.
