- Out of ignorance of the pertinent factors, I wonder why, if total eclipses are such a big astronomical deal (I assume they are), wasn't the shuttle scheduled to be in orbit during the recent one? If the scientific community gets added value from flying airplanes at high altitudes to take pictures, wouldn't the 70mm on the shuttle have been that much better? Chip
