Homeland Security says laptop border searches will continue

When the United States Department of Homeland Security announced last summer that anyone can be the laptop, mobile phone, camera or recording to analyze them at the border for a period unknown, criticism was immediate. SEN. Norman Feingold, a Democrat, to move "warning", and it denounced Ayatollah Sistani as a "Fourth Amendment to surrender their rights at the border".

Does this not help that the United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal had already blessed operation - meaning that anyone, even American citizens, can muddle your toys in the possession of international arrivals to the borders or Even if 's zero evidence of illegal activities there. (Not for anyone happens in practice, of course, but despite this the Ministry of news about homeland security right.)

On Wednesday, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced new guidelines for arrest and search electronic devices at the border. In the press release, the Department of homeland security claimed that they "increase the monitoring and clarify searches of computers and other electronic media in the United States port of entry".

Rhetoric aside, in fact, little has changed. Laptops and electronic gear can still be held unlimited confiscation, 's need to be the owners of them even returned there six months passed, although pass the necessary supervision if they held over 15 days. Complete contents of a hard drive or memory card is for you to study the evidence of lawbreaking of any kind, even if it underpaying or not pay their parking tickets.

This open ended type of scan should anyone traveling internationally, not just privacy advocates have worried. When we need rules, without stealing the mail, that enough of sharing MP3 files to a federal crime, many college students, many unindicted felony? This file under suspicious - men - and - I'll show you - - unit is a crime.

Harvey Silverglate, criminal defense attorney in Boston and founder of Foundation for Individual Rights in Education is the next book, at this stage in three days to treason. "When the law is so broad that attract very normal activities very difficult," I said in an interview Silverglate: This week for CBSNews.com.

Here Summary of homeland security directive, U. S. Customs and Border Protection: "Officer May electronic devices or copy the information in the detention, for short, reasonable time to perform a detailed search boundary. Ydlaymkhyrat held in May in the search site and is outside the site, and as that may be completed expeditiously. "

After the examination is complete and you know is not criminals, the security of privacy impact assessment "c. When you examine the phone and electronic device (s) is full contact, are sent to you that may make you select - the name (s) during regular business hours where the item (s) was arrested. If it is impossible for you to pick the device, you can c the machine settings We ship you the cost to create ". (Who's responsible if the transport damaged guess everyone is.)

Homeland security said: Thursday that about 1.000 of laptop searches Ydlaymkhyrat 1 October 2008 through 11 August 2009 Ydlaymkhyrat was performed. One way to protect yourself from these searches, the use of encryption like PGP whole disk and make sure that the partner of your laptop completely down that crossing the border.

It is true that under the Obama administration, Homeland Security is trying to add elements to prevent copies of your digital photos or other private files to their personal collections, and has warned that trade secrets, journalists Notes and medical records should be handled carefully. Improve the situation over the Bush administration policy is.

But the government may be better than a simple: require evidence of wrongdoing - at least some suspicion of illegal activities - before the players through the computer and assorted other toys stir. This is what the bill by Senator last year, has been introduced. Feingold have carried. Issue a Wisconsin Democrat wanted to address still exists, let us hope their willingness to solve it as well.

All's quiet at Burning Man--for now

All's quiet at Burning Man--for nowBlack Rock City Nevada - This Thursday night, three days before the official opening of the gate for Burning Man, but many p eople who came here in the installation and arts festival quick ly developed.

Today, Black Rock desert, a strange silence. It's strange, because if you ever had a Burning Man, you're used to noise at night is full of all kinds - music, explosions, screams, laughter, etc. - in each direction. But because only people here now helping to build things - art projects, theme camps, public infrastructure - just exhausted people.

But this clearly stands as soon as possible to ride a bike, what wa s up, and two of the most visible indicator of a man - in the midd le this year the festival is built on top of the forest, wood sculptu

Since then, only grows louder and more outrageous. But today, amid great emptiness Burning Man is only partially assembled, is located in the quiet beauty of a little display on the happy couple, which can be viewed here.

Massive Twitter Security Problem Not Resolved Just Yet

Yesterday in the United Kingdom-based SEO expert, David Naylor addresses in detail the cross site Twitter made the task of programming weaknesses that allowed him to put JavaScript code in Twite] by simply adding some code in the field of software developers are usually software products to connect to the Internet. All kinds of destructive things that people have done the process errors, such as the theft of session cookies, cream, or even aware of Twitter visitors with malicious software, so it is safe to say that he was on a large scale security threat.

Of course, when it comes to Twitter transferred to the patch to prevent such problems from bad things happening. John Adams work even in the blog comments Twitter sNaylor on the hole was closed shortly after the release of a message is sent.

Well, not quite.

[Naylor blog post today in yesterday with the person who is still working correctly claim that it is operational. Just like the establishment of a Twitter account almost constant, for which reason (harm) dialog box when you count the link from the site. May soon twitter account suspension, such as self-created fantasy Naylor for the first time point of view, so I included a picture of what happens when you visit the profile at the top of this post.

Naylor says:

With a few minutes, a person with little technical knowledge to create software Twitter '[Twite, and began to send. Using the following simple guidelines, it can be arranged so that users can see Twitter as one of those tweets] - which are logged on to Twitter - can be taken into account.

Imagine for a moment. Just visit one of the [Twite, and can be in your browser to run it, and simulation to do something that your browser can perform. It may just give your site pornographic May for? Or perhaps to delete all words [tweet? Send a message to all your friends? Maybe all of his followers, or worse, just delete the information you need to log in to your account to another site to someone who can use their leisure time.

I find it totally unacceptable that engineers Twitter, and never in contact with Naylor for more information on the work sufficient to solve the problem, which is rightly described by an SEO consultant shame. Instead, it was alleged that she had tried do not really want to achieve stability in the big picture of what potential security risks are:

The idea is to stop putting the consolidation of space in the address box. Distance. In addition, everything else is fair game.

It is important to note that you probably will be safe when you use any third-party Twitter client for your needs, however, we recommend using more stop and visit the Web site of your favorite Twitter for the next few days. Is there any business, be sure to click on the link: Twitter profile that do not know, even when someone you know and trust to be around and associated programs looking abroad suspicious of practical use to remove the tweet].

Twitter’s Golden Ratio (That No One Likes To Talk About)

If you're new to Twitter, and an easy life. This comes in the notice that someone is following you and you are likely to follow them back. After all, will have some tweet] in your stream. After a few dozen of these, you can begin to use more discretion is far from one person to another profile and Twite]. But they soon become outdated and, inevitably, you're dealing with the use of the fact hardly a secret that everyone knows (whether they realize it or not) to decide who deserves the Afternoon: "constituency" in exchange "after".

If someone has more than it is after the fans, they are probably a good person at least to consider the following. If after more than to have more supporters, and the opposite may be true. The biggest difference between the two figures, and increases the likelihood of each of these is true - to a certain point, when celebrities such as Oprah and throw this system out of whack. But for ordinary people, not Hollywood celebrities, and this system works just like the candidate.

One of the reasons behind this works well is that you receive the e-mail messages now, every time you get new followers put this front and center information. Since the photograph, and this list of e-mail:

1 - and a number of his followers User

2 - Number of tweets] they have made

3 - Number of people who use the following

1 if greater than 3 (let's call it "a positive percentage), and the person, can be valued by clicking on that person's file, and if 1 is much larger than 3, and probably at least worth a look at the 3. If it is larger from 1 (negative rate) with a large margin, and the potential to be a spammer or marketer is really good (and as such is a person you probably do not want to follow). If the ratio is close to themselves, it may be useful to consider on a case - case basis.

Screen shot - 2009 - 08 - 26 to 12,608 - in amObviously, there are always exceptions. The user to user basis, the people who have friends of a negative relationship between users, but of course they will follow them, regardless of the relationship. But on a large scale when you get more hits, it must be the candidate during the system works well.

That said, this post will piss without a doubt a lot of people down.

The truth is that while most people are aware that some extent, this relationship is correct, and a lot of people do not like to talk about. The reason is to rise against a fundamental belief in social networks: the idea that if you follow someone, whether you admit it or not, and you want them to follow you again. But the reality is that on Twitter, thanks to the social graph unequal does not occur often.

And we got on the ecosystem Twitter negative conditions that have more than one witness to the contrary. As much as any one with the knowledge that they are not a beautiful snowflake, unique of its kind, so I could understand if this bothers some of you. But it makes it any less true.

Screen shot - 2009 - 08 - 26 to 12,801 - at the beginning of amSince Twitter, and people complain about the basics extremely positive: "I only follow 10 people," and the like. The implication is that if a lot of people follow you, but you do not follow a lot of people that you aren'ta "real" Twitter user. The talk has diminished a little with some of the celebrities now on Twitter, which can not be expected to follow the millions of people, but still a lot of users around the dog fans / following differences.

But the truth is that a person can keep up with a lot of people on Twitter by following the idea starts to become meaningless. Twitter because they do not have a built-in filter relationship or the ability to search only the people you are following (both FriendFeed and other services provided with Twitter posts), if you follow the thousands of people, and the possibility that 'if you will have a meaningful experience of the followers of one is rather small .

But if you're only after 20 people say, I was active on Twitter, you're likely to see almost everything in each and every one of the 20 people they say. This is the reason that people are just beginning to establish separate accounts for follow-up to the people they really want to follow. It is a work about the candidate, sort of.

Following the idea of thousands of people are just ridiculous. From what I saw, I remember that people who do this are usually either frames or it's someone trying to promote something. The idea is that the more people you follow, is likely to follow you again, you get more of what it is to promote you (even if it's yourself).

Now, once again, and before every start to scream in the comments, and I know that there are exceptions to this rule. For new users trying to get used to use Twitter and build their fan base, the rate does not apply. But when we start to get a seat and hundreds of thousands of his supporters, and the relationship begins to work.

Set Up Space-Saving, Permanent Gmail and Reader Tabs in Firefox

Harsha wrote Reader Kotcherlakota our tips box with a very detailed, very cool how to use the Add-ons, some suggested I build fast, always available-yet-subtle cards for Gmail and Google Reader. Here's how.

So here is the solution. I was glad when my Gmail is still open. (Who is right?) Is literally the first thing I go in Firefox. But I would be considered his home, and frankly, I do not like the fact I always leave full-sized tab to open just to watch your mailbox. I am a fan of minimal, yet functional and attractive interface.

So I went looking for the perfect setting, and I am glad to say that I found it! With the help of Better Gmail, Gina Trapani 2 add-on (especially favicon feature Unread Count) and two other additions, I found very easy and attractive way to keep an eye on Gmail and have it open all the time without a lot of space.

Here is what I did. (And all this in the night version of Firefox 3 / 7 with the Nightly Tester Tools installed and working well, so I'm sure it will work for all versions of Firefox 3.0 +.)

First I downloaded and installed Better Gmail 2, and activating a favicon, ended with this:Looks fantastic, of course, but still, since I am currently using a netbook, I want to save as much space as possible. So I searched and searched until I found the FaviconizeTab extension, also previously mentioned on Lifehacker. Essentially, it adds an entry to the context menu when you right-click a tab that allows you to shrink it down to ONLY the Favicon. Here's how it works.
Which gives you favicon-only tabs like you see in the screenshot. (I did this for both Gmail and Reader.)

Looks awesome, right? Well, I thought so too! Until I closed Firefox, and when I opened it again, I realized my faviconized Gmail tab did not stay faviconized. I also wanted a solution in which Gmail and Google Reader always appear when I opened Firefox. I knew how to set up multiple homepages in Firefox, but it's not quite right for what I want. For one, if i do that, every time I press the "Home" button, all those sites load up at once in multiple tabs.

So I went off hunting again for a permanent tab solution. But wait! Lifehacker, many moons ago, highlighted an extension called PermaTabs, an extension that preserves selected tabs through sessions and prevents accidental closing.

Sadly, the developer of that extension has long since forgotten it. I was annoyed, but after a bit more searching, I found another extension called PermaTabs Mod. It's the same as the original extension, however it's updated and modified to work with Firefox 3.5. Essentially, this add-on allows you to make a tab permanent—that is to say, it cannot be closed by accident, actions such as "Close other tabs" in the Tab context menu do no affect it, and better yet, the tabs stay where they are in the order they are even if you close/shutdown Firefox! Here's how it works:

Here's the skinny on what's absolutely awesome about this setup:

* Permatabs are not affected by closing Firefox, cannot be closed automatically, and can be "un-permafied" at any time when you want to get rid of them.

* When you first start up Firefox, the Permatabs DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOAD THEIR PAGE. They only load them when you click on them, which is insanely handy for me for when I'm on a terrible connection and I don't want all my Permatabs to load up instantly when I start up Firefox. (This is why I do not like having multiple homepages—I cannot control when they load.)

* With this setup, you don't have to make Gmail or GReader your home page. Your home page is separate; in my above example, I have about:blank set as my homepage, but this won't affect your setup at all.

* Permatabs are not set in stone as far as location goes. You can reorder Permatabs by dragging them around. (Be warned, you can also pop-out Permatabs, but once you do, you must pop them back in or add them again manually.)

* Using this setup, I don't need to use toaster popups from extensions like Gmail Notifier or any third party app. All I have to do is glance to the top right to see if there's any new messages.

Make Firefox faster sweep your database

Firefox Tip:

Firefox 3.0 'Awesome Bar' is a fox, all kinds of extra features, but unfortunately as an example to create some performance problems also increase the default period of history, music has become the database that lead to the expansion. This scenario can accelerate quickly.All this, and Mozilla Firefox Links, formerly mysql leadership vacuum weblog details how to improve the database, and this process is very embarrassing, you must restart. Now in the Firefox error console has been updated techniques and some simple code that can be run must be restarted.

Once the process is complete, you should notice a big improvement in performance, especially when using the Awesome Bar to search for a web site. While you're tweaking away, you may also want to take a look at how you can speed up Firefox by limiting your history size.

Free Software Foundation trashes Windows 7

This is what the Free Software Foundation plans to do so on Wednesday and launched a demonstration in Boston, where he will pay companies to get rid of Microsoft Windows that supports alternative free of charge.

Regardless of public opinion, the key is to send a letter to the CEO of Fortune 500 companies, warning that Windows is a threat to their business' privacy and security and freedom.

Despite the demonstrations and speeches near the center of Microsoft's release of Windows 7, the Free Software Foundation Executive Director Peter Brown, the protests should be done with Microsoft's approach in general and non-specific and Windows 7.

"Every time Microsoft tries to push them to the new version, and this is the time to make the case that," Brown said in a telephone interview on Tuesday.

With Windows 7 get a positive review to some extent, Brown said he did not know they may be more difficult to win public support on this issue with the often criticized Vista.

"There's this kind of attitude," Well, this is better than Vista, "said Brown," so we would like to work against the grain. "

But, he said, the stakes are high - and more than one operating system that gains the stock market. Brown points to Amazon.com 's recent removal of Kindle e-book example of this type of action that could become commonplace if the world becomes more full digital rights management technologies.

"This type of software that gives power to these companies," he said. "When we give this power, sooner or later, someone comes knocking, is it the government or the company itself. Free software is a kind of answer to this."

While the message focused on Microsoft, said that the group Concerned also with other products, including the new Snow Leopard operating system from Apple, which took place on sale on Friday.

"It's not just Microsoft," said Brown. "This is a common problem for people that we have to accept the special programs when there are alternatives."

OPINION: Do You Know the “7 Dirty Words”?

Keri Hilson "Knock You Down" was for the millionth time yesterday and I would not mind, because I love the song and all, but there's one thing that I do not mind when I played the song on the radio control empty words that are not obscene!

Ne-Yo, singing: "I used to be the leader and the commander of Pimp My high flying boat ...", which is an empty word" ship ".

Then, when Kanye spits: "How can you ask someone who is just mean ...?" Is empty, and the word "request".

Of course, it's not the first time, censors, hypersensitivity hit a mute button for words that may appear to the dirtiest word or words that were in most cases, and only occasionally a benign little risky, given the context. Heck, Wanya and baby "always in housing" and the third word in his name cleared, depending on the time of day or the station that he was arrested.

If you think back to 2003, which brings together 50 Cent "What Up Gangsta", at 50 spit "there is no blood, the cone ..." "Blood" part always cleared. I have found of particular concern because of censorship, which clearly shows that the convergence of the street gangs, omitting reference to the popular, blatantly missed the fact that the "cone" is just another word "of the Crip" (rival to the blood). It may seem as if the approval of the radio Krebs blood.

So far, in my opinion, in the worst case of censorship, however, was not to be refugees around the "bad reputation is a great opportunity and one other" remix, while the large spit "Navajos creep me in the teepee ..." Navajo "gets distorted, which resembles a covered, but with the sound distorted and cause the whole nation of Indians are very harmful to mention aloud.

The late, great comedian George Carlin, Standob routine where I set out 7 words that under all circumstances, and even sometimes they say the attack on television or radio. I do not anything to write them here (click on the name Carlin at all if you had to hear), but I'll give you my cleaner alternatives: feces, urine, uterus, and mating, lollipop chicken, parents and female adulterer palindrome "breasts.

What do ya'll think about censorship? They are really such things as "the words" bad, and if so, what words are they?

Martha's Vineyard

Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts - President Obama landed Sunday in Martha's Vineyard for a family vacation, the first real first time since taking office in January.

The Obamas were taken by helicopter from Cape Cod to the islands airport and then by column to the 28-acre compound in Chilmark president is rented to a GOP cover up to $ 25,000.

Plan for next week? Plan. The main title of the president announced this week, aides said, and hopes that reporters respect the privacy of their daughters Malia, 11, and Sasha, 8, while on the island.

That seems fine with the same visitors.

"He worked his butt," said Donald Miller, 57, infected the 22-car convoy smell.

"He deserves a vacation, and I hope he was."

Sports complex has a swimming pool, private beach, basketball and even a hole - everything that Obama should be happy.

There was some speculation that Obama visits ill Senator Ted Kennedy, who is fighting cancer compounds in the brains in the history of the family in Hyannis Port.

For now, aides said, no such visit is planned.

Miss Universe

Enemy Cup series, won a great challenge - to 10-month grind with the best riders on the bumper.

But for what it means to be Miss Universe.

Hope in a procession called the ambition is not from Venus and Mars. However, competition from the same planet huge - 80 amazing, leather, toned, multitalented and multilingual beautiful women judges in their countries.

American representative, Christine Dalton, become a fan of NASCAR, and it depends on the outer edge of the sport on Sunday night in the Miss Universe Pageant (9 pm MTV, NBC).And fans may remember the Miss United States, blue-eyed beauty in Wilmington, North Carolina, Coca-Cola 600 in May, where the band national anthem before 165.000 fans. It has a "home" track with drivers Casey Kahne, David Ragan, Joey Logano NASCAR stars find that the ordinary men who are a lot of fun and helped them to understand the popular sport. But he was catching the thrill of speed and document in the Motor Speedway to Lowe, that really hooked Christine.

"I did not realize that the surge of adrenaline, the path of the wheel causes a cry out of the car, the sound is amazing," she said. "I discovered first hand NASCAR really must be experienced live to be fully appreciated."In preparation for the Miss Universe pageant - the Olympic Games crowds, the real source of national pride - Christine should consider the "national costume". She expressed confidence in the overall repertoire. Contests to win North Carolina and the United States, and they all floors of the evening dress. No one sizzles hotter in a swimsuit. As a motivational speaker-looking, who has studied Spanish and psychology at the University of East Carolina, and Christine aces interviews.

The Wild Card is a national costume. Dalton knew that a piece of clothing that was inspired in the past the Statue of Liberty, Kentucky Derby could be the last chance for the best in the eyes of the judges of Miss Universe '.

Remember the experience of having NASCAR, NASCAR theme chosen Christine. After all, is there anything more American?

"Any girl who gets a lot of that Miss Universe has a good approach, and can speak well in pressure situations, and wearing provocative clothing for the evening," says Christine. "National costume may be the last chance to really separate myself. I knew that NASCAR was huge in his home state of North Carolina and across the US-style statue of liberty in America, so it's NASCAR. It was one of those ideas that you say you are so loud, I knew You nailed it! "

Designer should be in a network of bold zipper front, long sleeves and cut unitard, decorated with silver sequins and rhinestones, and stains on it sponsors: NASCAR, Miss Universe, NBC, Atlantis, Trump, and Sam Bass Diamond Nexus and others. The words "Miss United States" with the stars added to the sleeves.

Plus look hot, and Sam Bass, NASCAR is the first artist officially licensed, to the stars and stripes, a helmet, which will be Evel Knievel proud. Helmet and signed in the box Sprint Cup and auction last Thursday, and that $ 4,500 in the Bahamas AIDS Foundation and NASCAR.

Therefore, while Christine will take the stage with some of the most beautiful and talented woman in space, they have a little NASCAR in my bag of tricks, it seems that the Crown, most of them - Miss Universe - - back to North Carolina, and loves sports .

So You Think You Can Dance,This season, the worst 5 Dances

15 Jeanine and Ade - Samba

A Samba lacking proper Samba Rolls is no Samba at all.
Jeanine and Brandon - Waltz

Despite looking beautiful, this waltz lacked the cement that holds a waltz together: rise and fall, feather footed musicality, and effortl ess grace.

Kayla and Kupono - Broadway

While we still haven't been able to pin point exactly what, something big was off about this routine. It was well choreographed and technically well performed b y two talented dancers, but completely lacked connection between the pairing.

Ashley and Kupono - Hip Hop

This performance was proof that all the attitude in the world and liquid leggings can't make up for painfully poor synchronicity.

Randi and Evan - Samba

While Randi and Evan were going for burning jungle passion, they couldn't shake their Broadway Boy or Unitard Girl persona's for this routine. Neither dancer got down and dirty enough with the Samba, Evan looked pose-y and ridiculous in his dance jumpsuit. Randi did her best booty shaking, but the final result was a campy samba, not th e sexy one they set out to perform.

Lunar Eclipse

Annular Solar Eclipse of January 26

The first solar eclipse of 2009 occurs at the Moon's ascending node in western Capricornus. An annular eclipse will be visible from a wide track that traverses the Indian Ocean and western Indonesia. A partial eclipse will be seen within the much larger path of the Moon's penumbral shadow, which includes the southern third of Africa, Madagascar, Australia except Tasmania, southeast India, Southeast Asia and Indonesia. (Figure 1).

The annular path begins in the South Atlantic at 06:06 UT when the Moon's antumbral shadow meets Earth and forms a 363 kilometre wide corridor. Traveling eastward, the shadow quickly sweeps south of the African continent, missing it by approximately 900 kilometres. Slowly curving to the northeast the path crosses the southern Indian Ocean. Greatest eclipse[1] takes place at 07:58:39 UT when the eclipse magnitude[2] will reach 0.9282. At this instant, the annular duration is 7 minutes 54 seconds, the path width is 280 kilometres and the Sun is 73° above the flat horizon formed by the open ocean.

The central track continues northeast where it finally encounters land in the form of the Cocos Islands and onward to southern Sumatra and western Java (Figure 2). At 09:40 UT, the central line duration is 6 minutes 18 seconds and the Sun's altitude at 25°. In its final minutes, the antumbral shadow cuts across central Borneo and clips the northwestern edge of Celebes before ending just short of Mindanao, Philippines at 09:52 UT.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse of February 09

The first lunar eclipse of 2009 is one of four such events during the year. The first three eclipses are penumbral while the last (on Dec. 31) is partial. The Feb 09 event is the deepest penumbral eclipse of the year with a penumbral magnitude of 0.899. It will be easily visible to the naked eye as a dusky shading in the northern half of the Moon. The times of the major phases are listed below.

Penumbral Eclipse Begins: 12:38:46 UT
Greatest Eclipse: 14:38:15 UT
Penumbral Eclipse Ends: 16:37:40 UT
Figure 3 shows the path of the Moon through the penumbra as well as a map of Earth showing the regions of eclipse visibility. Eastern Canada and the USA will miss the eclipse entirely since the eclipse begins after moonset. Observers in western Canada and the USA will have the best views with moonset occurring sometime after mid-eclipse. To catch the entire event, one must be in Alaska, Hawaii, Australia, or East Asia.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse of July 07

July's penumbral eclipse is only of academic interest since the magnitude is just 0.156. Although the Moon will be above the horizon from most of Canada (Figure 4), the eclipse is so minor as to be completely invisible to the naked eye.

Total Solar Eclipse of July 22

To make up for the anemic lunar eclipse earlier in the month, a major total eclipse of the Sun occurs two weeks later. The path of the Moon's umbral shadow extends across India, China, a handful of Japanese islands and the South Pacific Ocean (Espenak and Anderson, 2008). A partial eclipse is seen within the much broader path of the Moon's penumbral shadow, which includes most of eastern Asia, Indonesia, and the Pacific Ocean (Figure 5).

As the Moon's shadow reaches the coast, China's largest city Shanghai (pop. ~19 million) experiences totality lasting 5 minutes at 01:39 UT. Around 70 km to the south, the central line duration falls just 5 seconds short of the 6-minute mark. Across the East China Sea, the umbra sweeps over Japan's Ryukyu Islands and Iwo Jima.

Greatest eclipse occurs in the South Pacific at 02:35:19 UT. At this instant, the axis of the Moon's shadow passes closest to Earth's center. The maximum duration of totality is 6_minutes 39_seconds, the Sun's altitude is 86°, and the path width is 258_km. The remainder of the path makes no major landfall; it arcs southeast through the Pacific hitting just a handful of small atolls in the Marshall Islands and Kiribati (Gilbert Islands).

Solar Eclipse Figures

For each solar eclipse, an orthographic projection map of Earth shows the path of penumbral (partial) and umbral (total) or antumbral (annular) eclipse. North is to the top in all cases and the daylight terminator is plotted for the instant of greatest eclipse. An asterisk (*) indicates the sub-solar point^[4] on Earth.

The limits of the Moon's penumbral shadow delineate the region of visibility of the partial solar eclipse. This irregular or saddle shaped region often covers more than half of the daylight hemisphere of Earth and consists of several distinct zones or limits. At the northern and/or southern boundaries lie the limits of the penumbra's path. Partial eclipses have only one of these limits, as do central eclipses when the Moon's shadow axis falls no closer than about 0.45 radii from Earth's centre. Great loops at the western and eastern extremes of the penumbra's path identify the areas where the eclipse begins/ends at sunrise and sunset, respectively. If the penumbra has both a northern and southern limit, the rising and setting curves form two separate, closed loops. Otherwise, the curves are connected in a distorted figure eight. Bisecting the 'eclipse begins/ends at sunrise and sunset' loops is the curve of maximum eclipse at sunrise (western loop) and sunset (eastern loop). The points P1 and P4 mark the coordinates where the penumbral shadow first contacts (partial eclipse begins) and last contacts (partial eclipse ends) Earth's surface. If the penumbral path has both a northern and southern limit, then points P2 and P3 are also plotted. These correspond to the coordinates where the penumbral shadow cone is internally tangent to Earth's disk.

In the upper left and right corners are the geocentric coordinates of the Sun and the Moon, respectively, at the instant of greatest eclipse. They are:

R.A. - Right Ascension
Dec. - Declination
S.D. - Apparent Semi-Diameter
H.P. - Horizontal Parallax

To the lower left are exterior/interior contact times of the Moon's penumbral shadow with Earth, which are defined:

P1 - Instant of first exterior tangency of Penumbra with Earth's limb. (Partial Eclipse Begins)
P2 - Instant of first interior tangency of Penumbra with Earth's limb.
P3 - Instant of last interior tangency of Penumbra with Earth's limb.
P4 - Instant of last exterior tangency of Penumbra with Earth's limb. (Partial Eclipse Ends)

They are only present in cases where the penumbral shadow falls completely within Earth's disk. For central eclipses, the lower right corner lists exterior/interior contact times of the Moon's umbral shadow with Earth's limb which are defined as follows:

U1 - Instant of first exterior tangency of Umbra with Earth's limb. (Umbral [Total/Annular] Eclipse Begins)
U2 - Instant of first interior tangency of Umbra with Earth's limb.
U3 - Instant of last interior tangency of Umbra with Earth's limb.
U4 - Instant of last exterior tangency of Umbra with Earth's limb. (Umbral [Total/Annular] Eclipse Ends)
