I traveled to Bledsoe, Texas, right on the New Mexico border west of Lubbock, to witness this rare event, an eclipse at sundown. This was an an annular eclipse, meaning the moon was too far away to completely cover the sun, but instead only covered the center giving what's called a "ring of fire".

Total eclipse of the sun expected in March

Total eclipse of the sun expected in March
A total solar eclipse, one of the earth's most unique phenomena is when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, its shadow hitting the Earth and blocking out the Sun. If you're lucky enough to be in the path taken by the centre of that shadow, the Moon will align itself exactly with the sun, blocking it entirely and you'll see a total eclipse.
Outside of the path of totality, although a staggering 95% of the Sun is still obscured, the effect of the eclipse is not nearly so vivid - just a quiet, still, evening dusk-like effect. These were the conditions most of us experienced during our 'once in a lifetime' eclipse over the UK mainland on 11 August 1999, with the next not now forecast until 2090.
Huge cosmic coincidence is at work during a total eclipse; the Moon is 400 times smaller than the Sun and the Sun is 400 times further from the Earth so, quite extraordinarily, from our viewpoint here on Earth the size of these two celestial objects appears to be exactly the same.
Whilst this coincidence is in the hands of greater forces than us, getting ourselves into the right place at the right time is not. These days it is easily within our power to move swiftly around the planet.
There are some qualifications here. Total eclipses roll by every 18 months or so but nature throws out a much higher chance of incidence over inhospitable terrain, the most probable venues being vast tracts of ocean or barren icy wastes. Also whilst the Moon casts a huge shadow over the face of the Earth sometimes as wide as 10,000 miles, the central umbral cone is only a fraction of this, sometimes as narrow as 100 miles or so.
But here's the good news because the next total solar eclipse is nearly upon us, due on 29 March 2006. And, as the Moon's shadow sweeps across Africa and the Mediterranean at 1,500 to 2,000 miles per hour, the umbral cone will cross an area favoured by many of us in our annual quest for a quick week away in guaranteed sunshine.
The Turkish Mediterranean coast already caters to thousands of holiday sun seekers: with plenty of hotels, and a strong chance of cloudless skies, places such as Dalaman are just around a 4 hour flight away from the UK, with airlines such as XL offering cheap flights.
And once you're in Turkey you can take to the sea and celebrate the event with a gulet flotilla holiday or if you want to mark the more cosmic significance of the day there's a trance festival where eclipsaholics can chill together: have a look at soulclipse.com for more details.
So are you ready for another bite at your once in a lifetime opportunity?
Oh...and don't forget your sun glasses!

Jyotisa is the vedic system of astronomy and astrology. It has three branches: 1. Siddhanta: Indian astronomy. 2. Samhita: Mundane astrology, predicting important events based on analysis of astrological dynamics in a countries horoscope or general transit events such as war, earth quakes, political events, financial positions, electional astrology; house and construction related matters (Vastu Shastra), animals, portents, omens etc. 3. Hora: Predictive astrology based on analysis of natal horoscopes and the moment a query is made. There are two main systems of Vedic astrology practiced today: Parashari and Jaimini which were developed by the sages Parashara and Jaimini respectively. The sage Parashara is said to be the "father of Vedic astrology" who recorded the main principles of vedic astrology or "jyotish", the science of light, into the classic Sanskrit text known as the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra. This forms the basis for the entire Parashari system, which is by far the most widely used in India and the world today.Astrology remains an important facet in the lives of many Hindus. In Hindu culture, newborns are traditionally named based on their jyotish charts, and jyotish concepts are pervasive in the organization of the calendar and holidays as well as in many areas of life, such as in making decisions made about marriage, opening a new business, and moving into a new home. To some extent, astrology even manages to retain a position among the sciences in modern India. Panchangam (almanac)A panchangam is a Hindu astrological almanac (or calendar), which follows traditional Indian cosmology, and presents important astronomical data in tabulated form. It forecasts celestial phenomena, such as solar eclipses, and weather (rain, dryspells), as well as more mundane occurrences.HoroscopyLagna - the ascendantOne's ascendant, or lagna, the rashi which is rising on the eastern horizon at the time of one's birth, is the most influential and important one. Of lesser importance but still some impact is the Janma Rashi, the rashi in which the moon lay while one was born.Some important special lagnas are follows.1. Chandra Lagna (ascendant counted from natal Moon sign - very important lagna) 2. Surya Lagna (ascendant counted from natal Sun sign) 3. Karak Lagna (significator taken as ascendant for all grahas) 4. Varnada Lagna (for social company) 5. Shri Lagna (for prosperity and marriage) 6. Indu Lagna (for wealth) 7. Hora Lagna (for financial prosperity) 8. Gati Lagna (for name and fame) Birth chartsThere are three different Jyotish chart notations, for showing the rashi (signs) and bhava (houses) which are functionally equivalent but quite different in appearance. The following images show the same birth chart in the two main notations - North Indian and South Indian. The third notation is followed in Eastern parts of India.Bhrigu SamhitaThe Bhrigu Samhita is an astrological (Jyotish) classic attributed
