That will make for some beautiful sunsets in the Southern Hemisphere and maybe even in the North, too. I remember flying home from London in '91 connecting in New York. On leaving the city at sunset, the skies were brilliant shades of yellow, red and orange due to ash clouds from the Mount Pinatubo volcanic activity earlier. My flight was only just over an hour, but I was able to watch the sunset fade into darkness before I landed. It is the single most spectacular view I've ever had from an airplane.

Not to mention longest total eclipse of moon in human lifetime - as seen from Perth this (yesterday by now) evening.
