July, 2009
           
Charles Gagne on board the Costa Classica,
which did not sink.  The shirt was designed by Michel Tournay
Dave Balch's shirt reflects the content of a
talk he gave on the Costa Classica, "Eclipses as motivation"


    
These shirts share a design recalling the Chinese eclipse myth of a dragon eating the sun.   The
black shirt on the left (worn by Yuna Kuwahara) was made for the Costa Classica cruise organised
by Roy and Bonnie Mayhugh.  The other (worn by Donald Kay) was made by Griffith Observatory
in Los Angeles

             
David Bevan of Sydney, Australia, thought he had missed the 2009 eclipse in China because of
bad weather.  But a hole opened in the clouds at totality, and he saw the eclipse while standing in
the rain.  He said the rain gave the eclipse a greenish colour

           
Roberto Masferrer wearing a shirt designed by Gene Torncello.  The people who wore this shirt
chose different photos for the back

      
Paul Young bought this shirt in Kagoshima, Japan, during the Costa Classica cruise.  He says it
includes a map in case we got lost

           
Ed Bertschinger of MIT, with another shirt from Kagoshima with a similar theme

                
Kent Silliman wears this popular shirt of his
own design
Andrew Kadar, also in a shirt (not strictly a
T-shirt) of his own design


            
Robert Hitt of Chesapeake Planetarium.  He has been making eclipse shirts of this general design
for many years

         
Mitchell Horowitz did have clear skies aboard the Costa Fortuna for the 2009 eclipse


Helle Wagner and Jan Drewsen of Christiansfeld, Denmark, made these shirts using one of Jan's
photos of the eclipse.   They are pictured on the airstrip on Mangaia in the Cook Islands, where the
sky was cloudy for the 2010 eclipse

               
Mike Pique, who saw the eclipse from the Costa Classica, can now tick the last box on this shirt

                     
Mike Pique again, with another shirt for
the 2009 eclipse
Bob Geary.  His shirt does not relate to any
particular eclipse but the photo is from 2009

                    
                 
David Beraru.  The shirt covers a couple of decades--these photographs were taken in 2009
     

              
Martine Tlouzeau might have to update her shirt now she has seen ten total eclipses

                  
Yukitoshi Hori was in China for the 2009 eclipse.  These pictures were taken in the Cook Islands,
where he saw the 2010 eclipse from an aircraft between Rarotonga and Mangaia

Frances Morland missed the 2009 eclipse in
China because of the weather.  She bought the
shirt via the internet from Fred Espenak
