Solar Eclipse 22 July

Singapore had only a window of half an hour or less worth of the longest solar Eclipse in the century. When that day came and went, we had none… Because it was raining cats and dogs!

Pictures of the Solar Eclipse captured from around the world, taken from Telegraph UK. Click here for the full gallery.

I was tickled by this photograph. Even seals need to cover up.

A hero from a Chinese legend - Houyi - was said to have shot down 9 suns.

Indian’s Holy man gather to witness this natural phenomenon of the Century.

Don’t you think this looks like a cut-out from Hero’s screen shot? Only that this is the real thing.

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to witness first hand this natural hoo-ha, I have to wait till I’m aged 150 to witness the next one. I’m happy though, that I did witness another Century-wait phenomenon when I was about nine years of age - I saw and smelled the World’s smelliest flower blossoming in our very own Botanical Gardens - that flower only blossoms once every century.
