I haven't got the time nor the ability so I'll wait for the news to show it, but there's a good site here on the transit courtesy of UCLAN.

The event was first witnessed in the village of Much Hoole just five minutes down the road from my old school.

Make the most of it, the next one is in a century after another in 2012, IIRC.

When will it be? I'll try to, but weather here in South Florida blows monkey balls, so it might be cloudy as hell...

IIRC, it won't be visible from the US West Coast, so no unfortunately. I'll try to track down footage later, though.

It'll be in its last half hour for most of the eastern US, maybe in its last 40 minutes for florida, during sunrise tomorrow. I really am sorry missing this, but I'll make sure not to miss the next one.

Ah, yes yes, my teacher told me that today. Anyway, it was one through five in the morning IIRC so there was no way I caught it. Oy, eight more years and counting. *sigh*
