And when an eclipse happens at sundown, do you even notice it getting a little dark?

I think it sounds cool and hope to catch it.

I'm hoping we get clear skies to watch it. We'll be in Vancouver. And now I'm off to check that nifty interactive map that was posted!

I still remember a full solar eclipse back in the early 90's. I was kind of surreal - it wasn't normal darkness.

Cool beans, I saw one in 1979 and I will see more, ohh yes I will see more!

Where were you? Mexico 1991?

Which got me thinking.....

Anyone up for a trip down-under in November? I hear Cairns Australia is beautiful that time of year.....

Leave from LAX round trip to Cairns via Sydney - $1,700.

The Eclipse is Nov 13th 2012

They definitely are unique. No wonder people feared them. Eclipses and comets are portents of doom.

Heh. Well, went out 1 day and 1 hour early, surprisingly nothing much to see. (the one hour was thanks to daylight savings time stupidity, the one day was thanks to my own stupidity).

At least I got to do a successful test of my frankenstein cereal box pinhole projector.

It's so cloudy here we won't be able to see anything, bummer.

Wispy clouds all over, and a big one planted right in front of the sun... go figure...
