Always interesting when this sort of thing occurs , the most eary one i recall was 1981 on a bright sunny morning , everything went so quite course the colour of the day .

Planetary geometrics are really complicated, always amazed how astronomers and NASA planners calculate what's where, and when it's going to be...
You look at whirlybird's series:
The moon didn't move in a straight path across the sun, we're rotating, it's orbiting, we're all moving around the sun.

Exactly .. three points to refer .. then to finish us of depends on which part of the country you are in .. course then go fly to look at the results .. gone the question were many say star gazing .. some say what stars .
