March 29...Total Eclipse

From Sky and Telescope: On Wednesday, March 29, 2006, a total eclipse of the Sun will sweep across parts of West and North Africa, Turkey, and Central Asia. The eclipse will be partial across a much wider region, including most of Africa, all of Europe, and much of western and southern Asia.

Too bad we won't get to see the total eclipse, but we do have some out of country readers, so I threw this in here for them. And if anyone wants to plan a quick trip using those frequent flyer miles...there is still time!
