Total Solar Eclipse : Live from China Webcast August 1, 2008

On March 29, 2006, a total solar eclipse occured when the new moon moved directly between the sun and the earth. The moon’s shadow fell on the eastern tip of Brazil, sped eastward across the Atlantic, through northern Africa, across the Mediterranean, and into Turkey, where an Exploratorium team was waiting.

Path of Totality
To view a total solar eclipse, you have to be somewhere along the narrow path of totality, where the moon’s dark umbral shadow falls onto the earth’s surface. The path of totality for this eclipse is shown above. Our location in Side, Turkey, is marked with a star.
