| Thousands
of people in many parts of the world will be turning their (protected)
eyes toward the skies to observe this rare eclipse. What’s in
store for those who view this celestial show? |

| CAUTION:
If you’re lucky enough to be in place to view all or part of
the transit, be sure to practice safe viewing. |

| Location |
| |
| Depending
on where you are in the world, and depending on the weather,
you’ll see all or part or none of the transit. You can, however,
view the ingress and egress via the Exploratorium’s
Web site, where you’ll be able to view a live Webcast from
Penteli Astronomical Station near Athens, as well as images of the
transit that will be updated every 15 minutes. |
