At sunrise on 29 March, people on the eastern tip of Brazil will be the first to see the day’s total solar eclipse. The last viewing chance will occur three hours later as the Sun sets over northern Mongolia. You can follow the eclipse on your computer thanks to the Exploratorium. Its webcast, Total Solar Eclipse: Live from Turkey, begins at 5 AM EST.

Although its prime focus is on one country, the UK Resource Centre for Women in Science, Engineering and Technology contains information that is more generally helpful. Under Role Models, for example, you can find Sarah House’s weblog of repairing water and sewage systems in earthquake-stricken Pakistan.
