great way to prepare travelling


Check out this map, originally constructed by Nasa, and circulating as another image on Flick'r.

No more excuses: want to live through a full solar eclips somwhere in the coming years? Go and pick your holiday destination to do so.

I remember going on a solar eclipse trip in 1999: my mum and me participated in a trip organised by the local public observatory Urania and experienced it somewhere in the northern parts of France. Even though it was a very cloudy day it was very, very, very impressive. Nature holding its' breath.

It's the silence I remember most. Imagine experiencing it again in, say, Australia, November 13, 2012? I'm game!
