An annular solar eclipse doesn't happen all that often but on May 20, 2012 it happened to fall on the same day as one of my favorite Bay Area California events: Bay to Breakers (B2B). B2B is a race from one end of the SF Bay to the other end of SF by the Ocean (thus "Bay" to "Breakers"). While a number of people actually run the race, the real fun is for all the non-runners who dress up in costumes, have a couple drinks, and then just have one big massive party as they walk the course (usually not getting to the end). Instead of skipping B2B and driving up to Tahoe or Reno to witness the full annual eclipse, I decided to compromise and did both.
My group of friends decided to dress as American Gladiators. Our costumes turned out great and I had an absolute blast. Unfortunately, we had so much fun that I didn't get home until 5:15pm -- right when the annual solar eclipse was starting! I changed out of my costume, grabbed my gear, and raced to the Stanford Dish, which is both a hiking trail and a giant Satellite Dish that a number of small satellites communicate with. The hike is paved, wide open, and a bit higher in elevation. I figured I'd get a good view of the sun from there.
When I arrived I had planned on hiking to the highest point on the hike. As soon as I went up the first big hill I noticed a very large group of people viewing the eclipse from right there. Not only was the spot good enough, but it also had a perfect view of "The Dish". I figured I could get a photo of the eclipse and blend it in with a photo of The Dish (I later decided perhaps I won't cheat and do this). I setup shop and started snapping away.
To get this shot I had to buy a special Solar Filter for my camera -- essentially a really dark cover for the camera -- so that I didn't fry my sensor. It pretty much kills all light and only lets the sun in, so all I saw with the sun and a bunch of black. At the same time as buying the filter, I picked up a bunch of 99cent solar glasses for viewing with your eye. I brought a couple with me in case people would appreciate sharing. Turns out I was right -- by the end of the evening I had a large group of new friends that were all huddled around me, sharing the solar glasses or looking at the photos through my camera. Eventually I just left the camera on LiveView as my intervalometer clicked away photos every 20 seconds.
I put them 11 photos together onto one image to show you how the 90% of the moon covered the sun! I met a number of really wonderful people today. It was so fun to share the solar glasses and the photos from my camera with all of you. I hope your children also have a renewed excitement for science education!
The next solar eclipse will occur on August 20th, 2017 and will be a total eclipse as it crosses from the Columbia River through Georgia.

Solar Eclipse 2017
Savannah Avenue, Saanich, BC
At the top of this image is the 2017 solar eclipse seen through tree leaves; the gaps between the leaves act like pinhole cameras to project multiple images of the crescent sun. At the bottom is the eclipse projected through binoculars, which is why there are two images of the sun. This is near the 90% maximum the eclipse reached here on the BC west coast. The light was spooky dim, and the birds were very quiet.

The Solar Eclipse reached totality over Sydney this morning... and by totality I mean it was totally obliterated by a thick blanket of cloud. TGFP.

Happy Birthday KJ : ]
We had a nice little sunset tonight. It wasn't looking like my usual haunt was going to be cloudy so I stayed home.
This is the sunset reflected off my old solar panels.
Cheers.

Image of the solar disc in white light showing the sunspot 2489. Taken on 30 January 2016 with a Canon 600D and NexStar 6SE telescope with f/6.3 focal reducer. I also used a homemade solar filter using Baader Astrosolar ND5 film. I was surprised to get such a decent image as the Sun was setting and it was quite windy when I took the image - both not good for solar photography!

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth so that the Sun is fully or partially covered. This can only happen during a new moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction as seen from the Earth. At least two and up to five solar eclipses can occur each year on Earth, with between zero and two of them being total eclipses.[1][2] Total solar eclipses are nevertheless rare at any location because during each eclipse totality exists only along a narrow corridor in the relatively tiny area of the Moon's umbra.
A total solar eclipse is a natural phenomenon and many people travel to remote locations to observe one.
