Such rare events are always interesting to watch. I'm not sure (but do not know) that anything new would be learned, but sometimes it's just best to stand back and look at the wonder of the universe.<br />Unless it's pouring rain <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" /><br />In which case you watch the wonder of the troposphere <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

~100 years ago such events were useful for pinning down the solar parallax.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>
