The solar eclipse that will take place on Wednesday, July 22, 2009 will be a total eclipse of the Sun with a magnitude of 1.080 that will be visible from a narrow corridor through northern India, eastern Nepal, northern Bangladesh, Bhutan, the northern tip of Myanmar, central China and the Pacific Ocean, including the Ryukyu Islands, Marshall Islands and Kiribati. Totality will be visible in many cities such as Surat, Varanasi, Patna, Thimphu, Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan, Hangzhou and Shanghai, as well as over the Three Gorges Dam. A partial eclipse will be seen from the much broader path of the Moon's penumbra, including most of South East Asia and north-eastern Oceania.
This solar eclipse is the longest total solar eclipse that will occur in the twenty-first century, and will not be surpassed in duration until June 13, 2132. Totality will last for up to 6 minutes and 39 seconds, with the maximum eclipse occurring in the ocean at 02:35:21 UTC about 100 km south of the Bonin Islands, southeast of Japan. The North Iwo Jima island is the landmass with totality time closest to maximum.
Go have a look at the address above they have recreated the path on a globe and watch the crescent forming at the beginning and the end. Striking resemblance don't you think.

Ive never been able to make any sense of , nor ever attempted to write about what i think i can see in crop circles , though i will write what comes to mind.
I see an eclipse , the suns rays peeking out from behind moon , comets seen during the eclipse. the dots possible trajectory points. The greek looking (to me) large crecent , a wall depicting the end /unknown .
And now you know why i hesitate to even write down what it brings to mind:)
Fascinating.
No I don't know why you hesitated to give your opinion. Idea is what we need and every opinion may have a part of the puzzle, see.
