Wow, there is gonna be a solar eclipse tomorrow! Totality will be visible in India and China and apparently the best place to view it some god foresaken place in Bihar. It will just touch north-eastern Australia, too bad I am in Sydney.

I have always been fascinated by a solar eclipse. I still remember a particular one somewhere around 1998 I guess. Mom let me look up at the eclipsed sun with a pair of Dad’s RayBan and good number of XRay sheet bundle. Talk about improvisation. I dunno how it looks like from those viewing decks with UV filter telescopes, but I still remember seeing a pretty cool eclipse, with the flaring ring around the sun and all.
All those who CAN see it, I’d say dont miss this one, supposed to be the longest one of the 21st century yet.
