For those who plan to go out today, I would like to inform you that there will be a solar eclipse that can be seen in Malaysia today, the phenomenon is expected to happen as early as 4.30 PM to 7 PM. :D

For those who've watched HEROES would definitely know what I am talking about and for those who couldn't bother what it is, I have a screenshot taken from Australia Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).

For those who is interested to find out more, you can take a look at NASA website on the following address http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEgoogle/SEgoogle2001/SE2009Jan26Agoogle.html.

For those who passionate photographer, equip yourself with your favourite gadgets and give a best shot on this rare phenomenon.

AND for Chinese who believe in orthodox stuff, this phenomenon is said to be a sign of bad luck as the sun is covered by the moon on first day of Chinese New Year. If you are out and witness this phenomenon (changes from bright to dark), it would give you a bad luck too. So, you decide by yourself whether you want to witness this phenomenon or just hide in the house. If you really wish to find out more about this, please take a look at The STAR Mag - Page 25 - January 2009.

*** WARNING *** DO NOT VIEW SOLAR ECLIPSE WITH NAKED EYES (please read)

The most important thing to keep in mind when viewing the Sun, including during a partial eclipse, is to never look at the Sun directly without proper viewing glasses. Sunglasses do not work -- you will damage your eyes permanently if you try to watch the eclipse with regular sunglasses.
