"Our van driver kept our vehicle very clean, sang to us and even gave us two wonderful Mongolian music cassettes which we had been listening to during our drives through the steppes. Again, thanks for two fun weeks in Mongolia."

Eddie Frank and Dr. Laurance Doyle, are a formidable team. Frank, veteran African
guide, and Doyle, renowned N.A.S.A and S.E.T.I. astronomer, have proven their eclipse
trips to be one-of-a-kind adventures into the celestial and terrestrial realms.

Their previous eclipses found them in a remote corner of Zambia in 2001, southern
Australia in 2002, Ghana in 2006 and Mongolia in 2008.

Since 1983, Frank and Doyle have been researching archaeo-astrononomy at NAMORATUNGA, an ancient rock circle in Kenya, which they proved to be an ancient
Cushitic observatory. Stay tuned for the further astronomical exploits of Frank and Doyle.
