dtaylor: Do we know which parts will be affected? Mostly central Russia, but you will see the Partial eclipse from about 9am till 10 am in Poland. But you don't need me to tell you not to watch it with the naked eye eh? lol

Just got a good tip to see this, if you put two CDs together you can clearly see the outline of the sun, without hurting your eyes :) And to be honest it's not much to see!

I think the eclipse has made people a little edgy. There's a lot of Mr. and Mrs. Grumpypants walking around out there today. Or it could be the heat. ;P Oh...and beware.....tense planetary opposition coming to us all on August 6. Everyone.....play nice!
