Eclipse Just Ended

It was completely dark outside. Darker than I thought - exactly a night.

I just feel I got jet lag - eyes told me I should be sleepy, but I am still excited. That is exactly the feeling of jet lag.

I heard an interview on NPR yesterday that since it is Monsoon season in India right now... there won't be much a chance to view the sun, a company was chartering people to view the eclipse above the clouds for $1600 per person for 3 hours... something like that. Is there a market for things like that in mainland?

You're so lucky to be in Asia. The next full solar eclipse will be 2132.
I heard in an interview a full eclipse is bad omen in most east Asian culture. With the current financial crisis, the prediction arrived after the fact.
