Japanese island faces eclipse influx Anonymous
Next summer a once in a lifetime event will occur, and the best place to witness it will be a small group of remote islands off the coast of southern Japan.

Just before 1100 local time (0200 GMT) on 22 July 2009 the skies will darken for a total eclipse of the sun.

The eclipse will follow a path along a narrow corridor through northern India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and China.

It should be visible from big cities like Varanasi, Chengdu, Chongqing and Shanghai.

The best place to watch it, however, will be a small Japanese islet called Akusekijima, where it is predicted to last six minutes and 25 seconds. There will not be a longer eclipse until 13 June 2132.

But the islanders are nervous. Akusekijima has a population of about 70. Its total area is just 7.5 sq km (2.9 sq miles).

It is one of 12 small islands, all of which will enjoy the longest views of the eclipse anywhere. They are known as the Tokara Islands.

Only seven of them are inhabited, by a total of about 650 people. Their only connection with the mainland is a small ferry with a capacity of 250 which runs twice a day.
