雖然我對天文並沒有特別的愛好，但我還是趕著熱潮，早起去看日蝕。
街上有很多人帶著有色眼鏡在觀看日蝕，我竟然忘了準備了！靈機一動，全罩式安全帽的面罩是黑色的喔，所以我是帶著安全帽看日蝕。坦白說，我的樣子看起來還蠻像笨蛋，呵呵。
這次的日蝕要好幾百年才會出現一次，是相當難得的機會。不過錯過的人似乎也不用太難過，好像每隔一陣子就會有幾百年才會出現一次的天文奇景。雖然錯過了一個，這輩子就沒機會了，但應該還有很多值得一看的天文奇景在我們有生之年等著我們。
日蝕的英文這麼說：solar eclipse
以下是一則來自China Post的相關新聞，一起看看吧！
TAIPEI, Taiwan
People in Taiwan will have a rare opportunity to watch a spectacular solar eclipse for more than two hours this morning. Experts remind people to use protective lenses to avoid retina damage from viewing the natural phenomenon with the naked eye.
The longest total solar eclipse of the century will occur today and people in Taiwan will be able to see between up to 68.6 percent and 86 percent of the eclipse of the sun depending on various locations on the island, according to the Astronomical Observatory under the Central Weather Bureau.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon's orbit moves between the Earth and the sun so that the sun's disc is fully or partially covered temporarily.
The event will be visible in many parts of Asia, but the total eclipse will be seen only along a narrow corridor stretching from northern India, eastern Nepal, northern Bangladesh, Bhutan, the northern tip of Myanmar, central China and the Pacific Ocean, including the Ryukyu Islands (Okinawa), Marshall Islands and Kiribati.
The full eclipse will last for 6 minutes 39 seconds.
Taiwan, which is located very close to the corridor, will see a partial eclipse starting at 8:22 a.m., with the maximum eclipse expected to appear between 9:36 a.m. and 9:41 a.m. this morning.
Residents on the frontline island of Kinmen will catch the earliest glimpses of the eclipse starting at 8:18 a.m.
People in southern Tainan County will be the earliest on the island of Taiwan beginning at 8:22 a.m. The biggest glimpse of the eclipse of the sun at 86.8 percent will be experienced on the Fuguei Islet of Taoyuan County's Shihmen Township in northern Taiwan, and a 70 percent eclipse can be observed in central and southern Taiwan, the officials said.
In Taiwan's southern tip of Oluanbi in Pingtung County, viewers will see 68.6 percent eclipse of the sun.
In Taipei area, the partial eclipse will start at 8:23 a.m. and continue for two hours and 42 minutes until 11:05 a.m. with the maximum eclipse occurring at 9:40 a.m.
To mark the spectacular natural event, various organizations have long prepared for the arrival of this solar eclipse. Some have even dispatched teams to different cities in China.
The Chiayi Amateur Astronomers Association will broadcast it live online from Taiwan and China.
