If you haven’t heard already, there will be a partial solar eclipse viewable on Guam starting at around 11:00am on July 22, 2009  and lasting until about 2:00pm.  The solar eclipse will maximize at 12:53pm at which time it will be the most noticeable when the moon covers about 75% of the sun from our view.  Guam is one of the few places which is part of the U.S. which will be able to view the solar eclipse because of the path the moon takes in the sky in addition to the time at which the solar eclipse takes place.

As this is such a rare thing to see and won’t be seen in many other places in the US, it is worth a visit to the island to see this.  Make sure you don’t miss out by finding airline tickets now. It’s a great excuse for a holiday on this beautiful island and a chance to see one of nature’s most spectacular things.
