: A solar eclipse is not a typical Indy adventure but it still has
: the potential of being one - I'm sure I am not the only one who
: has ever thought about an Indy adventure featuring an eclipse.
: Yesterday was the big day: My first total solar eclipse only few
: kilometers from Vienna where I'm living. My day started early
: (in fact I skipped the night completely) because bad weather
: forcast let my friends and me made plans to drive in direction
: southeast as far es possible to avoid the bad weather and the
: expected traffic. East from Austria is Hungary and first thing we
: had to get was a map to explore the - to us - unknown territory.
: First meeting point in the morning was a small village named
: "Ukk" (we chose it because of the name :-) where we met with
: friends. Now our travelling group consist of seven people and we
: headed farer east along the central line of the eclipse. Our time
: started to ran up because we wanted a good observation point
: before the particial phase started (11.20). The daring adventurers
: always have the luck to find the right spot just in time - and so
: did we :) We found an adequate hill with a perfect view to the
: west (from where the shadow of the moon was going to come) near
: the lake Balaton. There we got the whole show that beats most of
: the special effects of modern cinema:
: - An exciting particial phase because we are near th the sun's
: 11 year activity cycle
: - The approche of the shadow of the moon with Mach 3! See the
: in darkness swallow the country within 30 seconds.
: - And total Solar Ecplipse for more than 2 minutes including an
: active Corona and very cool bloodred Solar Protuberances.
: - Dramatic weather changes because of the missing sunlight: The
: temperature dropped, medium wind started and clouds developed.

: I'm sure Indy never missed a chance to see an eclipse :)

I've never seen a solar eclipse, but I've seen luner. Less dangerous for your eyes! Reggie
