Crescent Sunset

nick_davison writes "According to those ever helpful folks at NASA, next Monday's (10th) sunset should be a "crescent". Depending on where you live, as much as 80% of the sun should be obscured by the moon, leaving just a glowing cresent shape. If you are lucky enough to be in the middle of the Pacific ocean at the time, the moon will pass dead-center. Though too small to cause a full eclipse, the annular eclipse should create a "ring of fire" as the sun shines around it."

    Okay, so /. should stop posting any stories relating to the USA? Shut up already with this "If it's USA related, it shouldn't be here because that's biased" bullshit. I don't think I've ever seen someone from the US gripe about a story that affects Europe.
    Not all of us live in Europe y'know.
    (NOTE: I'm just using Europe as example, so don't pull that "How do you know I'm from Europe?" crap. I don't care where you're from, but if there's a story concerning just the place where you live, I sure as hell won't gripe about it.)
