Solar Eclipse: The Earth, sun and new moon sometimes line up in such a way that the moon passes in front of the sun, blocks the sunlight, and casts a small shadow on the Earth. If the moon blocks the sun completely it is called a total eclipse.

Cheri R., its called a pretty good front line but we still need a couple of point guards to fill in the blanks. I was thinking Pluto but alas Pluto has been relegated to the bench so we will have to go with Saturn and maybe Uranus, or even Venus. I am not sure, what are your thoughts concerning this line up????
I think we can kick the sh.t out of those guys from Orion and maybe that team that Mars is trying to form, they won't have a chance even if they do recruit Jupiter's moons.
Ursa Major and Ursa Minor don't stand a chance and the Milky Way group has to stick to selling candy bars.
We have it made in the shade, so to speak.
