Captain's Log -- Earth Date 29 Jan 2005

Well, 1 month have passed. I hope everyone like my blog. On Earth, whereever there is sun shining, most objects would have shadows. Is it the darker side of the object? or pure fun?
I think it is pure fun! Well until recently I have not seen the biggest shadow in the world. I think I was actually standing under this shadow when it happens. The feeling of it very strange and weird. See the picture and make a guess, how did this actually happens.


1999 Full Solar Eclipse.
Factoid:
Our Sun is currently is exactly 390 times further than us compare to our Moon.
Our Sun is currently is exactly 390 time larger than our Moon.
That is why we can see exactly a full solar eclipse -
Moon appear exactly the same size compare to the Sun when we look at both of them at the same time, and it covers the Sun exactly.
