Partial Solar Eclipse on 2011 June 1

The above two movies show the 2011 June 1 solar eclipse observed by the X-ray Telescope. This eclipse is also visible on the Earth in Siberia and northern China. One interesting thing about this eclipse is: Northern Norway, Sweden and Finland get a midnight Sun eclipse with the event hanging above the northern horizon. More information on this eclipse can be found here .
