WELCOME TO THE AFRICLIPSE WEBSITE! |

"Now eclipses are elusive and provoking things... visiting the same locality only once in centuries. Consequently, it will not do to sit down quietly at home and wait for one to come, but a person must be up and doing and on the chase." Rebecca R. Joslin (1929) |

The Africlipse Website is dedicated to providing as much information as possible on solar eclipses where the path of totality or annularity is visible from the African Continent. Eclipses covered on this site are the total solar eclipses of 21 June 2001 and 4 December 2002, both of which traversed southern Africa. The 2006 March 29 total solar eclipse, which passes over west Africa and the Sahara Desert is also covered, as is the 2030 November 25 total solar eclipse. All other solar eclipses (annular and total) that traverse Africa up to and including 2030are covered on seperate pages. Additional detail on these eclipses is continually being added, and it is best to check the site frequently for updates and additions, Updates and additions are usually first announced on the Solar Eclipse Mailing List (SEML), a mailing list owned and managed by Patrick Poitevin. For more information on the SEML, see the Links Page. There are also pages covering African Eclipses, Past & Future. |

This site has been designed by, and is managed and edited on a part-time and voluntary basis by Peter Tiedt of Westville, Kwa-Zulu Natal Province, South Africa. Updates will be regular but sporadic. If you need further information, feel free to send an e-mail query, but as this is a voluntary task (and sometimes a busy one), please don´t expect a reply in 5 minutes ;-). I will however try to reply within 24 - 48 hours.. If you would like a link to your site or your tourist establishment, please e-mail Peter for further details. Limited consultation services on eclipse tourism are also available. Need exact predicitons for your locality? E-mail Peter with your geographic / GPS Co-ordinates for detailed predictions. |
