Solar Eclipse on Monday, 2009 January 26

Unfortunately, it is not a total eclipse, and is only visible from Indonesia, Australia, South-East Asia, and part of Southern India and South Africa, but the Moon will cover "just" 93% of the Sun, producing a rare sight - for those lucky enough to see it called an annular "ring of fire." Go to spaceweather.com for more information, and hope you get a chance to see it!
