Short wait for next eclipse

In the Home Forum article, ``A Momentary Marriage,'' on last month's solar eclipse, May 19, the photo caption reads, ``The next eclipse will occur in 2012.'' This is incorrect. While I believe it is the date of the next partial solar eclipse visible from North America, the next solar eclipse will be a total eclipse visible from South America in November. Patrick B.
