http://reference.aol.com/space/skyandtelescope?id=20060323144009990001Two big skywatching events occur this week:

-- A total eclipse of the sun will sweep across parts of Africa, Turkey, and Asia on March 29 (but will only be visible in North America via Webcast). Watch it online from 5AM to 6:15AM ET. Visit space.aol.com for eclipse photos after the event.

-- The moon
will occult the Pleiades star cluster out of sight during and after dusk on April 1 (no fooling!). We've got charts and viewing tips.
