A phenomenon that dates back millions of years. The solar-eclipse happens today (1:30 p.m. central-time), catch it on t.v. or in real-time. Looking directly at the sun is risky, all sorts of bad-things could happen to the eye. Fortunately, there are special-glasses out there made specifically for viewing this galactic-occurrence. Take plenty of pictures of the dark-star, because it will be a full-year before it happens again!
