wtg"Ring of Fire" eclipse
quote:
From the Middle East to Southeast Asia, people looked skyward for a chance to see an annular eclipse on Thursday, as the unusual celestial event took place over a long but thin band of the world. The striking "ring of fire" phenomenon — with the moon blotting out all but a sliver of the sun — began in Saudi Arabia and ended northeast of Guam in the Pacific Ocean.

NinaThe total eclipse that was seen in southern Oregon (two summers ago?) was the coolest thing I've seen in a long, long time.

Me, too!
It’s interesting that depending on perspective, you can entirely blot out the sun (like the one we saw) or see a ring of fire around the moon.
