Partial Solar Eclipse of 2002 June 11

What Will The Eclipse Look Like

From Asia and the Pacific?

Blue Bar

Solar Eclipse from Tokyo, Japan

The diagram above shows what the 2002 June 11 solar eclipse will look like from Tokyo, Japan.
(Japan, Asia and the Pacific see the eclipse on June 11 instead of June 10 because of the International Date Line)
The times of the start, maximum and end of the eclipse are given for Local Standard Time.
Eclipse times and diagrams for many other cities are found in the links below.

Partial phases of the solar eclipse of 2002 June 11 will be visible from eastern Asia and much of the Pacific. Note that North America observes the eclipse on June 10 because it is east of the International Date Line. A global map showing regional visibility of the eclipse is available in Medium Resolution and High Resolution resolution.

An annular eclipse will be seen from Sulawesi , the Indonesian islands of Pulau Sangihe and Kepulauan Talaud and from the Pacific islands of Tinian and Saipan . Meteorologist Jay Anderson (Environment Canada) has prepared a weather analysis for locations along the annular eclipse path.

The following table lists times (in Local Standard Time) and circumstances at maximum eclipse for a number of cities in Asia and the Pacific. During the summer months, many countries switch from Standard Time to Daylight Saving Time. If your state/province/city is on Daylight Saving Time, you must add one hour to the eclipse times for your city. For more information, visit links to Official Time and Daylight Saving Time. Please note that times are given using the 24 hour 'military style' time. To convert times later than 12:59 from military time to civilian time (i.e. - 'AM' and 'PM'), just subtract 12 hours from the time. The predictions include the times of beginning, maximum and end of the eclipse, the magnitude (expressed as a decimal fraction), the altitude of the Sun during the eclipse and the duration of the eclipse from start to finish.

Cities are listed alphabetically in the following table. Click on a city of your choice and get a preview of how maximum eclipse will appear. Each eclipse GIF is only 31 kBytes in size, so access time should be fast.

Extreme care must be taken when looking at the Sun. There are a number of ways to Safely View the Eclipse which you should consider. Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or through any optical device (e.g. - camera, binoculars or telescope). There are a several types of Solar Filters designed specifically for eclipse viewing which are available from a number of filter manufacturers and distributors. You can also use the pinhole projection method to safely watch the eclipse.

If you find problems with any of the links on this page, kindly bring them to the attention of Fred Espenak (espenak@gsfc.nasa.gov).

Definitions for columns in the table below are as follows:

Eclipse Begins - Local Time of the beginning of the eclipse.

Maximum Eclipse - Local Time of the maximum phase of the eclipse.

Eclipse Ends - Local Time of the end of the eclipse.

If the time is followed by the letter 'r', the event occurs at sunrise.
If the time is followed by the letter 's', the event occurs at sunset.

Mag. - Eclipse Magnitude is the fraction of Sun's diameter eclipsed by the Moon at maximum eclipse.

Sun Alt. - Altitude of Sun above horizon at maximum eclipse (in degrees).

Duration Partial Eclipse - Complete length of the eclipse from start to finish (in hours and minutes).
