From Jay M. Pasachoff, Williams College

I am glad to see the correspondence about the solar eclipse in Europe on 11
August 1999, and the subsequent eclipse in Africa in 2001
(Letters, 20/27 December, p 80).
But there is still time for your readers to arrange to see this
year’s 26 February eclipse, which will be visible from the Caribbean islands
Aruba, Curaçao, Montserrat, Guadeloupe and Antigua.
It will last longer than the 1999 European eclipse and is less likely to be
obscured by bad weather. Hop on a plane if you can!
