On Thursday, 1998 February 26, a total eclipse of the Sun was visible from within a narrow corridor traversing the Western Hemisphere. The totality path (or path of the Moon's umbral shadow) began in the Pacific, continued through northern South America and the Caribbean Sea, and ended at sunset off the Atlantic coast of Africa. ... Some of the best placed sites along the totality path were in Venezuela. ... Exposure time was 1/2 second. At this location totality lasted 3min 36sec. ...

This photograph shows the Large Magellanic Cloud, a neighbouring galaxy to the Milky Way. ... By studying how their light changes and other properties of these systems, astronomers can measure the distances to eclipsing binaries accurately. A long series of observations of these objects has now led to the most accurate determination so far of the distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud тАФ a crucial step in the determination of distances across the universe. ...
