Cool! I'm so glad you point these out. I use igoogle for my home page so never see the daily google doodles - one of the few downsides and issues I have with anything google.

That is really cool! I thought it was just a picture, but google will be showing the eclipse in real time- I guess it's just visible from Africa and Asia?

I think it already happened. And no, we didn't get to see it, but we still get the full moon. It was gorgeous last night here.
