Tomorrow. Are you on the path? http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEmono/ASE2010/ASE2010.htmlJinan is just inside the Northern limits of the path, so, tomorrow, weather permitting, I will have the camera on a tripod, outside my door, ready to go. Wait, with baited breasts breath! Suzhou is pretty close to the middle of the path. |

Looks like around 4:30pm or later, depending on where you are, and ending with sunset. You'll be catching the end of it...it barely clears the Shandong Peninsula before sundown, and the eclipse period will be short. Best viewing spot is said to be The Maldives. Why does the Eastern Hemisphere get ALL the cool stuff? |

Dang. Supposed to be about now, but there's an apartment building in the way. I'm too lazy to go out and get a better view.

I thought that the whole point of an eclipse is that you cannot see the sun - - in which case you could have stayed inside and feel that you hadn't missed anything. I am sorry you have a cold.
