BABB people: Is it possible that that paragraph in the article is poorly written, or otherwise wrong? Because the more I look at it, the less sense it makes even to me.

However, adding to the oddities associated with this eclipse, for these "Al-Can localities," since the Moon’s penumbral shadow falls to the east of the International Date Line, local clocks will be set to the previous day: Friday, May 30. Moreover, for these particular locations the eclipse will be occurring not at sunrise, but around the time of sunset.

I've got NASA's tables of "when to see the eclipse" for Alaska-Canada, and I don't see any mention of "changing the clocks in Canada to May 30".

I also don't see any mention of "changing clocks because of the International Date Line" on the main page.

So, huh? Now I don't get it, either...
