| 637845 | 2008-02-07 06:38:00 | We've been mooned! Pretty damn pathetic eclipse, it was almost un-noticeable. (A bit like MS, take away the advertising and you have zilch.) |

| 637850 | 2008-02-07 09:49:00 | Also... Did anyone else notice that... It became slightly darker during the eclipse. It also became a little cooler. That if you zoomed all the way in, you had to adjust the location of your camera every few minutes? |
