For those who have not made the trip to China or India to watch solar eclipse 2009, Thaindian news is presenting a live feed from cameras situated at Guwahati, India. The feed has been graciously provided by Suraj jain.

Solar eclipse 2009, the longest total eclipse in the 21st century, will last for more than six and a half minutes at it’s peak, and black out the world’s most populous countries as it passes directly over India and China.

Hotels throughout China and India have been offering special eclipse packages to cater to those desiring a first-hand view of the event, while numerous aircraft have also been chartered to “intercept” the eclipse and follow its path.

Medical, scientific, and government authorities have issued warnings against looking at the eclipse with unprotected eyes, though watching the event on television or streaming internet feed present no danger at all.

The stream will commence at 0000 UTC, as the Moon first starts to obscure the Sun, tracking the phenomenon until the Sun is totally obscured at 0059 UTC and conclude when the Moon has passed out of the path of the Sun’s rays at 0206 UTC.
