I agree with Keith... I do not think we can command nature to give us an exact time and date for such wonders. This is where patience comes into play. Remember patience? That thing that we used to use before the computer, when things were not so automatic. It still exists.
Patience always pays!
We should be very happy that we will have the possibility to experience this wonderful display.

Tabitha - it's probably pretty hard to set an exact time on Solar radiation reaching earth. Obviously it's sometime between 6.30pm and 12pm - star gazers have all night don't they?
