Total Solar Eclipse: I'm Baaaaack!!

August 01, 2008

Wow! Holy crap! Are you serious?! No way! $%#@! Awesome!

Just a few of many exclamations I heard people spew out while we rode a big Airbus 330 into the dark-as-night shadow of the total solar eclipse this morning, just south of the North Pole.

I can't wait to show you guys the odyssey I've taken in pics and audio, but you'll have to wait a bit! Keep checking back to Discovery Space as I control my gushing excitement into a stream of words, pics, and sound for you all.

Oh, and here's a little teaser for you:

Wonder what happens next... ;)

If you need a quick fix, Alan Dyer over at the "What's Up?" blog has a great post up with a video from a prop plane in the Canadian arctic. Way to go Alan!
