Feb 2017 Annular Eclipse Live from Angola

timeanddate.com sponsors Angolan eclipse project

The Instituto Superior de Ciências de Educação do Huambo (ISCED) will be our hosts. We're organising a range of educational and public outreach activities to mark the eclipse, and we're very grateful to the wonderful team at ISCED, lead by the brilliant Professor Mário José da Costa Rodrigues.

We're proud to announce that timeanddate.com, a leading website for eclipse information, is sponsoring this project.

Steffen Thorsen, the Chief Executive Officer of Time and Date AS (the company that manages timeanddate.com), says:

“We are very excited about this collaboration and are inspired by Graham Jones’s efforts to educate and reach out to the people of Angola. Timeanddate.com will expand these local efforts globally by presenting people worldwide with free live images of this solar eclipse, in addition to all the eclipse information already available on our website.

People everywhere will be able to follow the annular eclipse in Angola as it happens, and we hope to inspire people of all ages about the wonders of eclipses.”
