SOLAR ECLIPSE FOLLOWUP:  As a followup to the message I sent earlier,  
today's Spaceweather Site:  http://www.spaceweather.com/  under topic  
"Solar Eclipse" (about the 4th item down) has a few links to  
interesting photos shared by New Zealanders and folks working in  
Antarctica who witnessed partial stages of the eclipse.

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE MOON (mark it on your calendar) If you have a  
BNS calender for 2008, it is already marked and a note o go with  
it.   Night of February 20 there is a total eclipse of the Moon  
visible from all of Atlantic Canada.

This link has information about the eclipse

TLE2008Feb21.html

This link has a diagram for the eclipse drawn for Atlantic Time Zone
