A total eclipse of the ...

sun (click on the picture to see it animated on the NASA page):

If you happen to live in the far-northern hemisphere in Russia, you'll really enjoy this one (apparently). That, along with the brief daylight-hours emergence of dusk insects that will inevitably accompany people's viewing of it.

(I wonder how many "people went blind staring at the eclipse" stories will come out tomorrow.)

Anyway, the graphic on the left is from NASA, and you can check there for future partial and total solar eclipses.
