It looks like the total solar eclipse will be a great show with just one hitch: you need to be in the right spot to see it!! According to Space.com:
The total solar eclipse Sunday may only be visible to a lucky cadre of die-hard skywatchers spread across the southern Pacific Ocean, but that hasn't dampened spirits at remote spots like Easter Island – where tourists and scientists have flocked to catch the celestial show.The best seats on Earth for the total solar eclipse are on Easter Island and other islands and atolls along a southern Pacific Ocean path that stretches from a spot just north of New Zealand to the tip of South America. Thousands of tourists are expected at Easter Island alone, drawn by both the looming cosmic show and the island's mysterious history. Oh well, maybe I will catch another eclipse one day in the future, but to those who get to view the event I say, enjoy and may this solar eclipse give luck to the Spaniards against the Dutch in the World Cup Finals because they may just need it this Sunday!
