We can see the eclipse today in Hong Kong! Colleagues got a sun filter so we take our turn to watch the eclipse and it was amazing! I called my friend at once so he could see it from his end but he said he has not got a sun filter. On the news they said we can use an x’ray negative as a filter but I mean it is ugly to hold out our lungs’ x’ray and probably what we thought as an eclipse could be the spot on our lung!

Just to share with you, this is a tiny picture of what happened. If you enlarge the picture to 200%, you can actually see it quite clearly. It is the middle spot I am talking about, which is in the shape of a half moon but it is in fact the remaining part of the sun. The rest of the sun is being shadowed by the moon. In Shanghai, they can see the full eclipse which means about 6 minutes of day time has turned into the night.

In India, eclipse meant bad luck and a lot of people have to wash out their bad luck in the river. As it turned out, two people were squash to death. Bad luck, I think most of the time, we induce it into ourselves!
