Where's Bruce Willis when you need him?

I've managed to miss almost every astronomical event over the last few months, I believe there were 2 comets, asteroid showers, conjunctions (though I did see Venus close to the moon 2 nights ago at least). There's a nice mobile phone application called Stellarium which can tell you where things are up there.

I absolutely have to see the eclipse in 2027, though, that will be spectacular in Argentina, especially if you can get to the Atlantic coast.
