Total Solar Eclipse

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon gets between Earth and the sun, and the moon casts a shadow over Earth. A solar eclipse can only take place at the phase of new moon, when the moon passes directly between the sun and Earth and its shadows fall upon Earth’s surface. (source : http://www.space.com)

Total Solar Eclipse is such an amazing rare natural phenomenon that occurs once in a hundred years. This year is the first total solar eclipse in the 21st century and it only crosses above the 11 provinces in Indonesia. Lots of domestic and international tourists visited those 11 provinces just only to watch it. Although I don't live in those 11 provinces, I could still enjoy the solar eclipse. The eclipse was only 88.3% in Bandung but it was such an amazing view! I could see that the sun wasn't round anymore although the sky didn't become darker. Here is a photo of the eclipse, hope you can see it! :)
