Sailors, Africans, and Aussies will observe a total solar eclipse on Wednesday, Dec. 4. The International Space Station will only fly through a partial eclipse area, but they'll have a fantastic view of the dark spot on the Earth below. Mir cosmonauts photographed a similar view on August 11, 1999. It looks pretty weird if you ask me. See pictures and read more in NASA's report.

Here's a gem from MAD Magazine: a Gulf Wars: Episode II movie poster. It reminds me of the 1998 StarrWars movie poster (mirror|.cz).
