Total Eclipse of the Sun

Written by: rich^kolker on Jul 31, 2008 1:40 PM EDT

One of the rarest astronomical events is a total eclipse of the sun, and one is happening tomorrow, August 1st.  The bad news, unless you've already made plans, is that it's visible only in northern Canada, the Arctic, Russia, Mongolia and China.  NASA will have live TV coverage, but seeing it in person is completely different from watching on TV.  Here's a photoshopped sequence of the last total eclipse, which I viewed from a cruise ship in the Med in 2006.

Good news - there will be a total eclipse crossing the US in 2017.
