The Annular Eclipse of August 21, 1998<\/div>\n
\n

Summary of Weather CircumstancesMy understanding is that the annular eclipse was visible from Sumatra and from the east coast of peninsular Malaysia (Mersing and nearby islands), while Malacca on the west coast of peninsular Malaysia and sites on Borneo were clouded or rained out. –jmp<\/p>\n

Movie
\nA quicktime movie<\/a> shows the moon’s shadow as it crosses the earth at over a thousand miles and hour. The larger shadow is the penumbra and the smaller one is the umbra. The annular eclipse of the sun was visible only from locations within the umbra. People located within the penumbra saw a partial eclipse.<\/p>\n
