Eclipse on July 22, 2009..where can it be seen?

Question

From what I understand, there is a good possibility to see the eclipse in Asia? What about the US? Will it be seen there? (and if so, what parts of the US and when?)

The eclipse is only visible in eastern Asia and into the Pacific Ocean.

Only where moon's core shadow falls on earth's surface, people see a total eclipse.

All times in UT Universal Time 

India:

The shadow starts to fall on the globe where people have a rising sun. This is just above Bombay.

at 0h52 Surat 
at 0h54 Bhopal
at 0h57 Patna
at 1h02 Dibrugarh

China:

at 1h16 Chongqing
at 1h29 Wuhan
at 1h40 Shanghai

Islands south of Japan:

at 1h58 Yaku-Shima/O-Shima

Then the shadow goes for the rest through the Pacific Ocean, and leaves at 4h19 the globe, as a setting sun east of the Marshall Islands.

There is a partial eclipse in a great area. With Russia, China and Indonesia also for the first part of their day.
