Well, I think the next one for us will be in about 80 years or so. Grin

You guys are lucky you saw anything. Every time there has been anything interesting happening in the sky near me, it has been cloudy. Meteor showers, eclipses, auroras (there was a sunflare a few years ago that was supposed to cause auroras all over North America), I've never seen any of them. Well, not since the Mmm-bop (or what ever) comet anyway.

Actually, I think that weather worked out best for you. You got to look at it and see it with the naked eye without the danger of f-ing up your eyes. Wink
