Photos/ Images of Annular Solar Eclipse 15th January 2010 from Jaffna, Sri Lanka

Here, I'm posting some of the best quality photos/ images, featuring Annular Solar Eclipse 15th January 2010 from Jaffna, Sri Lanka. In fact, it was really a great and thrilling experience visiting to the best eclipse site Jaffna located in Northern frontiers of Sri Lanka. The Eclipse Expedition turned out to be really a successful event and we had more than 2000 participants, who ranged from school children, teachers, eclipse chasers, traveling groups, random people, and even army and police (Even D.I.G. of Jaffna visited to our eclipse site, located at the grounds of Jaffna Hindu College himself paid a visit to eyewitness this extraordinary episode of natural phenomena)!!

Thus unfolds a bunch of really great pictures, that are worth cherishing !!





Please note that some of these photos have been taken from a projected image of the eclipse, as the eclipse is filtered and caught in a screen,
