Beautiful. Being a resident of the western US, I was not able to
appreciate the eclipse.

I think the next one is in August and is supposed to be visible from your
side of the world too.

Indeed, and also s/too/instead/.

28 August 2007 (times UTC):
Moon enters penumbra 07:55
Moon enters umbra 08:52
Totality begins 09:53
Totality ends 11:23
Moon exits umbra 12:23
Moon exits penumbra 13:20

(times obtained with XEphem 3.7.2, eyeballed from the Moon View window
so accuracy is about +/- 1 minute)

Observers on the west coast of the U.S. will be able to see all of
totality. Europeans will be facing away from the event, unfortunately.
