I hope to see a total solar eclipse someday. The eclipse on March 29th 2006 would be nice to see maybe in Turkey .
Here is a map of total solar eclipses 2001-2025:

Sniff...Snifff... Why don't I live in a place with solar eclipses every year? :cry: :cry: :cry:

I'd really love to see the eclipse, but I had no chance, nobody told me there was one... Besides that, I live in the South of Portugal, and I woke up at 10:00 :( :( :( . Maybe next time... :) :)

Marokkina, let me cheer you up: you didn't miss anything, besause the
eclipse was not to see in the south of Portugal. :wink:

And BTW, the 3rd of October 2005 there will be a ring-shaped solar eclipse
in Spain and in Portugal. :D A ring-shaped eclipse is an eclipse that occurs
when the moon is just a little bit too far away from the Earth to cover the
entire Sun, so the Sun becomes a ring then (The distance Earth-Moon is
not constant, but varies from 357.000 km to 406.000 km :idea: ).

BTW, the eclipse of last Saturday also was a ring-shaped solar eclipse.
The Sun had the shape of a ring in Scotland and Greenland. :idea:

At the Solar Eclipse would come, I had planned to be at a bridge over a river about 6km. away from my home, I planned to be there around 5:20 in the morning, but somehow I woke up at 5:20 :roll: :!: :?:
I really didn't liked it because I really wanted to see the eclipse.
So, same for me: Better luck next time
