For those of you in East Asia and the Western USA...

Since I won't be able to see this from the eastern US, I'll just close my eyes for a few minutes to simulate the effect. ;D
Looking forward to the next Total Solar Eclipse. Those are really fun.

"There's nothing I can do" about them.

Have you even seen one? I wish I could.
The eclipse in 2017 is going to be fantastic. It's in August, so it's bound to be clear weather and the center of the path of totality crosses right over the town I work in. If I'm at work, I will have to step outside and I'll be able to see it. I found a site (http://www.eclipse2017.org/ECLIPSE2017_main.HTM) that traces the exact path and the EXACT center of the path is about two blocks north of my work.
I can't wait. I will stop production and make my whole crew come outside to watch the once in a lifetime event.
But, it's in 2017...nobody will get to see it... :'(

It's The Asmo's b-day fireworks, that. The celestial bodies screwed up though, damn them.

I've seen two and they are amazing. There is nothing like them. Hard to describe.
We had one in the UK about 10 years ago, but it was so cloudy that all we saw was increasing darkness which then cleared.
We saw it!!!! Hubby got some special eclipse viewing glasses from the science teachers at his school, and we periodically stepped out to check on it's progress. Was cloudy for a bit and I was scared we would miss it, but eventually it cleared up enough. Was REALLY cool!
