Thanks for the re-cap. One thing I am trying to find is the hexagon in the clouds of Saturn. Was there more info on that coming out, or was it simply here then gone? Of all the things that are considered 'intriguing', that would surely top the list, no?

No image of the Feb. 7 annular eclipse's actual ring phase seems to have made it beyond Antarctica so far - but since this morning we at least know that such images exist: see http://cosmos4u.blogspot.com/2008/02/antarctic-mountaineers-saw-annularity.html for the story so far of an incredible expedition!

Did you know when the moon passes over your head it is called the lunar transition.The lunar transition on feb 20 is about 1 am and that's world wide time but the eclipse only happens on this hemisphere so by 1 am it is over for the rest of the worlds hemispheres.

Wayne, six sided things happen all the time, consider the snowflake. Round isn't the only "natural shape"
