An interesting discussion.
But the data I have is the Solar Eclipse on the 26th Feb (25th N.A. 
Time) is that the total solar eclipse's path from Mongolia across 
Siberia, almost to the North Pole!

Now, am I missing something here?

good luck,

=========================
Hi, Bloomin' Zipper Flipper!
The eclipse you describe, Lee, already occurred on 9 March 1997.  The
eclipse 
described by me and P43HOT will indeed occur on 26 February 1998 (North
America time), and will be total in the afternoon that date in Aruba.

You can view the last half of it there in Hawaii just after sunrise,
where it is only partial.
