Saros 133 Southern Hemisphere is irrelevant to who exactly?

The section Saros 133 contains the bizarre comment about the eclipse series occurring progressively further south "Thus it is becoming increasingly irrelevant as the most populous continents are in the northern hemisphere." Irrelevant to whom? Northern hemisphere bigots perhaps? I tried to remove this ignorant and mildly offensive comment but could not find how to do so. If anyone knows how to remove this hyper-linked text, please do so. Djapa Owen (talk) 07:15, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

It seems that 2048 is the last year that the totality will be visible in inhabitated lands, and for 300 years the totality will not be seen unless people travel to see it. This is the reason for that "strange" comment. The comment should be "Thus it is becoming increasingly irrelevant as the latitudes south of the parallel 40ºS are almost unhabitated." If you think this it is discrimination between hemispheres look for place at 60ºS and found a city there.Japf (talk) 19:19, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Images

I am waiting for NASA to post some images, so we can use them. NASA's live video feed left a lot to be desired due to cloud cover, but I am confident they had photographers in other locations. I got some great screengrabs from Panasonic's video stream, but of course there are copyright issues with them. ... Also, any Wikipedians who were there and have photos — either of the eclipse itself, or of the crowd watching it — please post them.    → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 00:09, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
