  1. A total eclipse of the sun Friday should fascinate millions of lucky skywatchers in Greenland, Siberia, Mongolia and China.

    NASA, in partnership with the Exploratorium and the University of California, Berkeley, will transmit live images on NASA TV. The coverage, originating in China and reliant on good weather, runs from 6 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. ET.


  2. It depends whether you are in the northeast or southeast. From Bordeaux, for example, the eclipse starts at 11:04 CEST and ends at 11:26 with maximum eclipse at 11:15 with 1% of the Sun's diameter obscured. This is such a tiny amount that it will hardly be visible. Farther south, there will be no eclipse. Farther north, the eclipse will be bigger. From Brest, the eclipse starts at 10:37 and ends at 11:46 with maximum eclipse at 11:11 with 12% of the Sun's diameter obscured. There is a map at http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEpubs/2008...
