We are having a total solar eclipse here in Asia tomorrow morning.
Since I haven't seen anything on whiteblaze discussing it, i'll assume it's not visible there.
Almost exactly 10 years ago, we had a total eclipse while hiking the Pyrenees.
Here are 2 pics from that day:

Anyway, last night we had a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the landing on the moon here in Phuket, Thailand and it was quite and international group with some doubters speaking up from Europe and some NASA retired engineers sticking up for their work.
And tomorrow, the eclipse. Although at 7:30 AM there are not that many people awake around here.
