皆既日食 - Eclipse

一度は自分も奄美まで行ってみようかと思った今日の皆既日食だが、あいにくの天気に終わった。ニュース番組を総括すれば、最善の選択は硫黄島沖まで太陽を求めて移動する船上観測ツアーだったようだ。次回は来年7月の南太平洋、金環食なら1月のモルディブ、スリランカということらしい。


I once thought of traveling to Amami Island myself to watch the eclipse on 22nd, but the weather today disappointed the visitors. In watching the news instead, it appeared that the best option was actually an ocean cruising tour to Iwojima chasing the sun. The next opportunity comes a year later in the South Pacific including Easter Island, or if annular eclipse, Maldives and Sri Lanka in January.
