After I became interested in telescopes and astronomy, the net was
already plastered with images of the Venus transit..so I missed that
one. Will I see
another in my lifetime? When is the next full or partial solar
eclipse? I will
probably get the Coronado PST in a few months (not that I need an
eclipse to enjoy it).
Thanks, -Tom

Solar events (other than eclipses and transits) tend not to be very
predictable. You can, however, go to http://www.spaceweather.com and get
lots of iformation on the current activity on the sun.
