Had no idea. Thanks for posting!

Hopefully it'll clear up a bit down here so we can get a view, but it doesn't look like it will. :?

Clear skies!
My friends and I are doing a barbecue/campfire/Dark Side of the Moon listening party tonight.

Apparently this summer there's going to be a partial solar eclipse in New Brunswick... total further north.

Thanks for reminding me Highlander - I totally forgot.

And on a Hip related note - when I clicked on the picture of the eclipse in your link - it brought up a sidebar for a link to the Wiki page for Metronome:

I took a few pictures off my deck but I don't know what they'll look like. I tried to take a long exposure but I'm below amateur on the photography scale. Thank god for Image Stabilization.
