dont worry! read on...

blind me with your melting stare

Yesterday, October 3rd, the moon moved in front of the sun producing a solar eclipse, but it wasn't total, rather annular, because the apparent size of the moon isn't big enough to completely cover the sun. Another consideration: this was only visible from Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Checkout Shadow & Substance's website for some more information.

Well, missed it this time, but there will be a partial lunar eclipse on October 17th. Here shows the map of countries which will see this partial eclipse. Europe and Africa will not, but most of North America and Asia, the Pacific and Australia will. Maximum eclipse occurs at 12:03 UT or 7:03am, CDT. Eastern US will only see part of it. And hmm.. hmm.. i will be able to see a complete eclipse.. that is if its not gonna rain!

So news blitz again by then! Maybe i can capture an image too hmmm... very fascinating idea of watching this simultaneously across the globe... 8)
