eclipse is always interesting for scientists. It helps to prove Einstein's theory, but there are some nuances with this story. Wink All insects, birds behaves in an unusual way always. Smile They feel

Question: do all Syrphids hide, when the eclips comes? Like the birds... If so: I want the flies. Eclips is interesting for scientists ;-)

We must also go to the place to see the field of all the Syrphids Smile)

a "near" full eclipse is very, very different of a *real* and fully tse. Pfft believe. Pfft those 1% not covered by the moon makes all the difference. one day we must go to a place to see the tse

having witnessed a near full eclipse, I would certainly prefer the field full of all Syrphids! That's the sort of thing I dream of Smile

3 to go only! Grin
Jan Willem 05 August 2008 06:27:47
Again four to go!

Got to agree with Jorge: few (if any) things are cooler than a total solar eclipse. If you have a change, GO!
jorgemotalmeida 03 August 2008 21:05:49
try to tell such thing to eclipse chasers. Pfft I'm sure you never saw a real TSE. Pfft It's better than seeing a (i) field with almost all genus of syrphids. Pfft

Boring event.

I remember we had a total eclipse when I, being a little girl, had to go to a dentist for a difficult oral surgery. Negative connotation!
jorgemotalmeida 01 August 2008 09:16:23

Getting closer all the time.
