Space Weather News for Sept. 18, 2006
SpaceWeather.com -- News and information about meteor showers, solar flares, auroras, and near-Earth asteroids

SOLAR ECLIPSE: On Friday, Sept. 22nd, the Moon's shadow will cut across Earth, producing an annular ("ring of fire") solar eclipse. Unfortunately, most of the eclipse takes place over uninhabited ocean, but sky watchers in South America and Africa will be able to see at least a fraction of the display. Visit SpaceWeather.com -- News and information about meteor showers, solar flares, auroras, and near-Earth asteroids for timetables and animated maps of the eclipse.

SPACESHIP SILHOUETTES: The space shuttle Atlantis undocked from the International Space Station yesterday. In a moment of cosmic coincidence, an amateur astronomer in France caught the two spacecraft separating just as they passed in front of the sun. His unusual photo, entitled "Spaceship Silhouettes", may be found on today's edition of SpaceWeather.com -- News and information about meteor showers, solar flares, auroras, and near-Earth asteroids.


too bad we wont be able to see.. but i thought for those of you who live in europe or australia might get chance to see this??? Good luck! :)
 
I saw it last year or a year before. I was amazed when the moon was HUGE then got smaller!!! WOW!

So I am hoping to see it again!
 
unforgetable 1995. The best eclipse, I ever seen and it was totally dark in during before lunch.

Probably won't see another perfect eclipse at my location for 50 or 80 years, I dunno.
