Message from Iziko Planetarium, Cape Town:

Join us outside the Iziko S A Museum’s main entrance to watch the Partial Solar Eclipse on Monday 26 January 2009 at 07:00 - 09:37 in the morning.

This is a partial eclipse of the Sun with maximum (as seen from Cape Town - about ¾ of the Sun's diameter covered) occurring at 08:15 am.

Planetarium staff will be available to answer your questions and on demand, there will be 10 minute planetarium shows explaining the phenomena.
