<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'> In
addition to Prof. Pasachoff's suggestions, one may simply use a small plain
mirror to reflect the Sun onto a faraway wall. If the wall is sufficiently
distant (~10 meters), a nice big image of the Sun will be formed on it,
eclipsed or otherwise. This will be useful for outreach.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

will request Prof. Pasachoff to clarify in the release, what is meant by
"The central part of the shadow will pass 330 km below the south
pole". Please confirm if that means the darkest shadow will be in Space
assuming North as 'up'? If so, it will be a wonderful thing to get people to
imagine that. The simplified textbook diagrams always show the whole shadow on
the Earth. eg.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
