Watch out tomorrow for the solar eclipse, here in Cyprus only will be partial but still.
Nov 3, 2013 Total Solar Eclipse

It should happen just before 4pm if anyone wants to look out for it. Only a small area of the sun will be covered by the moon.

I hope the attachment works. Its an image of the sun thrown from binoculars onto a sheet of paper at 4.10 pm. You can just about see the mouse-bite of the moon on the edge of the sun.

Unfortunately I haven't noticed anything but bencooper did. I remember the last total solar eclipse because it actually happened 1 day before our wedding day in '99. That was in Hungary.

There was a total solar eclipse here in Cyprus in March 2006. I watched it and took lots of pictures, just pointed the camera in the sky without actually looking so it was pot luck but I got one really good picture which I will try to find and post here later.

Oh, I'd really like to see them.

the attached is supposed to be a view in New York of the same eclipse. This would not be the view from a naked eye but It must be through a special filter.
