Unfortunately, Singapore cannot see it as usual... :( :( :(

Have a nice day.

I'm currently in Mumbai since last week. Saw the eclipse on monday, my fourth eclipses so far out of which two are total solar eclipses :-)

Went to the Nehru Planetarium on sunday, they were showing the "hide and seek" skyshow, very nice. The 500+ seater planetarium was fully-packed. I wish we can have the same in Singapore.
