Here Comes the Sun! Or Is It Going Away?...
The sun goes away for a while during the day of 1st August 2008!
But only people along the northern Canadian areas and the South 
Asian regions like China and India get to have front seat view of the grand eclipse. :-P Those in ASEAN regions, namely you lot in Singapore and Malaysia, at best it is a partial eclipse...
Myself in Europe, I don't get the full effect but perhaps around 20% of it or less.So, I am not holding my breath! Still, even if you can't watch the eclipse, there is still another chance to watch it - online. Here's one!
Whatever you do to watch, just remember it's never safe to look directly at the Sun's dazzling surface — no matter how little of it remains uncovered! See here how to do it correctly. :-) Have a good 'sun' day!
