Last-minute eclipse news...

...because it will begin in a few hours.


Today's total eclipse will be visible on a path from Nunavut (the indigenous territory of NE Canada), Siberia, Mongolia, and then western and central China. Oh, and from Norway, also.

[LReferring to the Univ. of North Dakota webcast link above: I have to talk my Lady Friend into posing with our telescope like that.]

Anyway, the show begins around 0900 Universal Time in the far north, and it ends around 1100UT. Check out Larry Koehn's excellent Shadow & Substance website for animated eclipse maps and timetables.

That is all... until the wire photos start coming in.
