The very first scholarly article I published was on an eclipse in 1978 (?). It came out in an English journal called the Observatory.
The picture here is of people watching a full solar eclipse in a yacht-club on the bank of River Ob in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk, this morning, August 1, 2008.
For the thousands who flocked from around the world to Novosibirsk, awe mixed with excitement as day turned into night. They gazed in wonder as an eerie silence descended on the Siberian city and gusts of unusually strong wind tore through the crowd. Birds stopped chirping and the temperature suddenly dropped.
