I know that the vast majority of you folks live across the pond from me, but I want to extend an invitation anyway.
On May 20th, 2012, there will be what is known as an
Annular Solar Eclipse. The eclipse will begin at roughly 4:15PM, with the center of totality passing over my campsite at around 5:30PM, and the last of the eclipse ending after sunset. This promises to be a truly awe-inspiring event, and I'll be making a huge event of it, camping there overnight on the 19th. Luckily, this is on a weekend!

The dead-on center of the eclipse's path will cross the extreme southern portion of Pyramid Lake, north of Reno, Nevada, which is quite close to my house (relatively speaking, of course), and I'm trying to organize a large event at the lake to celebrate, and to watch what I believe to be not only a rare type of eclipse, but also the most exciting astronomical event I shall ever be witness to (and I've seen Halley's Comet!)
There's more information about the "Eclipse Party" at
http://www.geekcavecreations.com/?eclipse2012, including a map (courtesy of Google Maps), if you're interested. Everyone is invited, and I'm hoping that this will be a spectacular event, where I can share my joy of the heavens with my friends from around the world.
