A Prachinburi astronomer said yesterday that Thais would be able to observe a solar eclipse for about six minutes from approximately 7-9.30 am on July 22.

Worawit Tanwutthibundit said the 240-kilometre-long shadow would give one of the longest-lasting solar eclipses in history and be visible in India, Pakistan, China, Burma, Thailand and Japan. The Upper North will see a 60-per-cent eclipse, the Lower North 50 per cent and the Upper South 30 per cent.
