It could be your only chance to photograph the eclipse from such close quarters. Cox and Kings India Ltd, the Space Technology And Education Ltd, and the Eclipse Chasers Athenaeum (ECa), are organising a passenger eclipse flight on July 22 to witness the solar eclipse that will start at sunrise near Surat in Gujarat.
The maximum duration of this eclipse is six minutes 38 seconds and the shadow of the moon will be so large during this eclipse, that even at sunrise, the duration of totality is more than three minutes.
