Solar eclipse visible only from Indian Ocean!!

Yes, an annular solar eclipse like above will be visible only in the Indian Ocean on  the 26th of January… as from 06.06 GMT to 09.52 GMT, with the peak at 07.58 GMT (12h58 local time).

If you check this animation, from Wikipedia, you’ll see that the full eclipse (red dot) won’t be visible anywhere… except for some Indonesian islands.
Mauritius will be seeing only part of the eclipse, so that’s quite disappointing – especially since we’ll be missing the big one later this year. :(
