2009 Solar Eclipse Tours in China

Good news for astronomy fans! On July 22, 2009, China and the South Pacific will experience a total eclipse of the sun and tours to see it are selling out almost as soon as they’re announced. Sirius Travels, a company specializing in eclipse tours, said their first tour filled up so fast they had to open another one and are thinking about a third. The best place to see the eclipse is parts of Asia, and China is one of the prime destinations. As for the Chinese Space Agency, it is even offering a one-month space tour called the Boomerang Eclipse Sun Tour. This can provide funds for their space agency and to test some of their equipment for a lunar landing in 2020.
