Now that Fox has covered it I'm no longer sure the moon does actually pass between the earth and the sun.

Next one is less than 7 years away and Akron and Cleveland are in the "totality" path. I will be renting out space in my backyard for your viewing pleasure! But bring your own glasses...or welding helmets.

This makes me so interested in just what the hell ancient humans must have thought when this happened.

I found myself wondering just how many thousands--hundreds of thousands--of primitive humans lost their eyesight observing the "monster eating the sun" before they figured out a "monster wasn't eating the sun" but a monster would eat your eyes if you stared at the sun. Tracking eclipses was a hell of an accomplishment for primitive peoples.

What happened to my ¤cash?
8:48PM here in Chicago. Must say, this eclipse thing has staying power. Impressive.

Alaskan Airlines had a special charter (various scientists, an astronaut, NASA, local journalists and some contest winners) fly west out of Portland into the Pacific this morning--and then followed the line back until landfall on the Oregon coast. Couldn't buy your way onto this. Should be excellent footage forthcoming:
