Solar eclipse tomorrow. Yet again not visible in my part of the world. Browsing through the other eclipse data on http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/SEcat/SEdecade2001.html (scroll down to scroll down to "Ten Year Tables of Solar Eclipses" to see data for other decades, although they only have the nifty animations for years 2001-2050), it seems there haven't been (won't be) many that were (will be) visible in California, compared to other places. I wonder what it is about the arrangement of the bodies that makes eclipses more common in the south Pacific and like that.
Although there were a number of eclipses (mostly partial) in my lifetime, so far I've only seen one that I have any memory of. The mental picture is of being on the kindergarten playground, and things going dim sort of as if dense clouds were obscuring the sun. Happily, there is an eclipse that fits the bill for my being able to possibly remember it as described, so I'm probably not just hallucinating.
