Soon after sunrise darkness falls again. Birds stop singing. The sun's corona pops out and shimmers across the sky. For a few strangely-silent minutes, while the moon completely covers the sun, you're spellbound inside the moon's cool shadow. Then, suddenly, reluctantly, you're free, again-free for the rest of your life to jet around the world trying to catch another total eclipse. Come experience the longest eclipse of this century on the 22nd of July 2009. Want to catch another one longer ? You might have to wait for a 100 years. Eclipse Chasers Athenaeum, the eclipse sphere of Space Technology and Education Pvt. Ltd in association with Cox and Kings (I) Ltd. Presents you an opportunity of a lifetime. Join us under the shadow of the moon this July or wait 100 years for another chance.
