29 March 2006
On 29 March 2006, two activities took place simultaneously and the PSC staff covered all possible aspects of the event that will not take place in Egypt again in another 21 years:
1) One group of PSC staff members traveled on 28 March to El-Saloum with the speakers of the first two events and the participants of the school/workshop; the group camped for the night and in the early morning of 29 March they set their equipment to follow all the steps of Totality right from the very beginning. The trip was a unique opportunity for the staff, the speakers and the participants to enhance their relationships with each other.
2) The other group of PSC staff remained in Alexandria where an observation of the partial eclipse was organized for the public in the BA plaza. The one-day event also included a lecture by one of the PSC resident astronomers, a videoconference with NASA and coverage of the observation of Totality from Turkey.
