The solar eclipse of 22 July 2009, observed in Jiaxing, near Shanghai, China, on a large square near a stadium. View of the sun was blocked by clouds and thunderstorms, so we just witnessed the totality of nearly 6 minutes (longest eclipse of the 21st century). After totality, the partly eclipsed sun could briefly be observed a few times.

Hi, Thanks for the video. My group was there as well at the Jiaxing square, the group from Malaysia, I believe your video was facing towards our spot. It was a great experience indeed!
