The annular solar eclipse had on 15th January, 2010 will be noted in history as the longest solar eclipse of the century. As it was clearly visible in South India from Kanyakumari to Varkala in Trivandrum District large number of astronomers and general public from all over the world gathered at Trivandrum and Varkala. The students, teachers, scientists and general public assembled at Kanakakunnu Palace in Trivandrum to witness the celestial extravaganza were more than 3k. Nandi was also one among them at Kanakakkunnu Palace. After looking up for some time Nandi looked downwards on the ground and astonished to see many crescent shaped light patches created by the Sun's rays that passed through the tiny gaps in between tree leaves. That was nature's wonderful pin-hole camera. Manorama News channel captured that images and shown it along the evening news. All other facts,figures and images are available in many sites.
In the stock market it was a lack luster day similar to Thursday. Nifty range was 38 points and closing at 5252 with a loss of 8 points. Nifty futures range was just 27 points (5272 - 5245). Similar to an earlier eclipse day, Dow Jones lost 100 points on that day's trading. Expect down ward movement in Nifty if it does not move above 5286 tomorrow. Tomorrow's Agni level is at 5235.

Dear Bala,
Nandi intended to post the image yesterday itself. But, due to some problem it could not be transferred to computer from the digital camera. Definitely it will be posted at the earliest so that you can also observe it in future.
