Introduction:
On July 22, 2009, a rare total solar eclipse will appear in the Yangtze River basin of China, with a duration exceeding 6 minutes, making it one of the most spectacular astronomical phenomena visible to Chinese people in the 21st century. At that time, four organizations—the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Microsoft Research Asia, the Computer Network Information Center of CAS, and the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of CAS—will jointly conduct a live broadcast of the total solar eclipse for the global public. It is planned to set up multiple live broadcast points within the path of totality. The digital high-definition video signals of the eclipse from these points will be transmitted to the Beijing live broadcast center via the CNGI (China Next Generation Internet) next-generation internet test system and released globally for free through broadcast communication satellites, the Internet, and other means. At that time, various media outlets such as television stations, web portals, mobile program service providers, and mobile TV can receive this signal source and produce live programs for the global public. It is believed that this live broadcast of the total solar eclipse will become the most high-profile astronomical feast of 2009.
Domestic first-class web portals such as Sohu, Tencent, and NetEase will simultaneously broadcast the live footage. Astronomical websites in countries such as Poland, Singapore, Malaysia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Ukraine will also broadcast the live signal. Heilongjiang TV, Jiangsu TV, and Beijing TV are also being contacted. It is said that CCTV will also conduct a live broadcast.
