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.

I bet Guam just capsized in surprise.

The 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.
