AfriCam is offering subscribers a solar eclipse package, through which they will be able to watch a live Webcast of the upcoming solar eclipse, as well as download a movie of the event and access background information.
The solar eclipse on Wednesday, 4 December, will be visible from a narrow corridor across the Southern Hemisphere. The eclipse path of totality will traverse the Atlantic Ocean over southern Africa and then sweep across the South Indian Ocean until it reaches the Australian outback at sunset. At the same time, it is expected that as many as four "naked eye" planets and a number of stars will be visible above the horizon within the umbral path.
AfriCam, in collaboration with Magical Skies, will provide a Webcast of the entire eclipse from within the path of totality. It will also offer a downloadable movie of the eclipse, video and audio interview with an international astrophysicist, high-resolution still images of the eclipse, do-it-yourself projects from educational scientist Case Rijsdijk, information packs and other material.
Calling it the "solar eclipse experience", AfriCam is offering the package to subscribers at a rate of $9.90 for the period from 25 November until 31 January.
