Eclipses for 2008

There will be FOUR eclipses in 2008, two of the Sun and two of the Moon. Solar eclipses are visible only in certain areas and require eye protection to be viewed safely. Lunar eclipses are technically visible from the entire night side of Earth, but during a penumbral eclipse, the dimming of the Moon's illumination is slight.

FEBRUARY 7: annular eclipse of the Sun. This eclipse will not be visible from North America.

FEBRUARY 20-21: total eclipse of the Moon. The entire eclipse can be seen from eastern and central North America. The Moon enters Earth's umbral shadow on February 20 at 8:43 P.M. EST, and the eclipse becomes total at 10:01 P.M. EST. Totality ends at 10:52 P.M. EST, and the umbral phase ends at 12:09 A.M. EST on February 21. The penumbral phase (only) will occur over western North America, at the time of moonrise; it will be difficult to see changes in the Moon's appearance.

AUGUST 1: total eclipse of the Sun. In North America, totality will be visible only from arctic Canada. The partial phase will be visible from extreme northeastern areas of North America, where the Sun will rise partially eclipsed.

AUGUST 16: partial eclipse of the Moon. This eclipse will not be visible from North America.

How is the view of fireworks over the Lake from there? I'm guessing you're able to see most clearly.
