The longest visible total solar eclipse to occur this century will be on July 22, 2009, visible from a narrow corridor through northern India, eastern Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, the northern tip of Myanmar (Burma), central China and the Pacific Ocean, including Okinawa, the Marshall Islands and Kiribati. Cities experiencing totality include Surat, Varanasi, Patna, Thimphu, Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan, Hangzhou, and Shanghai.

Totality will last up to 6-minutes and 39-seconds with a maximum eclipse occurring at about 62-miles south of the Bonin Islands, southeast of Japan.

Don't say you weren't warned :D

6 minutes 39 seconds is well worth seeing - nearly as good as the 7-09 I saw off Africa in 1973. It feels like it lasts only 20 seconds, but provides great opportunities for photographing the diamond ring, Bailey's beads and the corona (solar cycle allowing).
