Okay, this isn't really Arizona or observing related, but some list members did view the solar eclipse yesterday. The Meteosat-8 weather satellite that is parked over western Africa imaged the shadow of the moon passing over the continent. It shows up particularly well over the bright landscape of the Sahara. There are some nice images at this site. The time-lapse animation is the best one of these I have ever seen. http://tinyurl.com/pznc6 Tom -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
