JPL sub page--NEW ! Waw an Numus Eclipse City is selected as a best place to observe this total solar eclipse. For the eclipse, Colonel Kadafi invited to the Eclipse City about 5000 people who were VIP guests and one of them was the ex-President Clinton. From Japan, 57 eclipse fun visited the same place. As many VIP guest were visited there, our schedule was made large change by Libyan government. Instead of 3 hours drive following the first schedule, we were obliged to run about 1.5 days in the Sahara desert using 6WD buses and arrived at Waw an Numus Eclipse City at last. We spent 3 nights in the desert. In the daytime, the temperature exceeded 40 degree Celsius, and in the nighttime, it dropped down under 5 degree Celsius. We experienced like the terrible condition. But at the day, we had fine weather and could observe the black sun over 4 minutes. --------------------Shigemi Numazawa
