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.

This is my video made from pictures I took of the supermoon lunar eclipse (bloodmoon) on 28th September 2015.
I used a Canon 6D with 70-200mm L lense with 2x converter and a tripod. I took pictures at 15 second intervals.
I'm still kicking myself for not taking the time to drive to SC to see the proper eclipse.... and I'm looking at my unsuccessful pictures of an 80% eclipse... who would have thought that 20% sun would still be that bright!
This photo was taken with a point and shoot camera through 3 pairs of sun glasses :-D and it's probably my best photo :-D
You can see the quarter sun eclipse in the tiny reflection bubbles.
Daah siempre quise hacer un poster, y este poster de Eclipse esta bienn raro, y no lo digo por el pelo de Kris que se parece al de Bella(sarcasmo), ni por la ropa, ni la posicion; si no por los ojos de Robert¡¡ Ash me costo tanto cambiarlo de color y al final no pude y grrr me toco dejarlo asi, asi que no le den zoom¡¡¡ XD.
Esto es algo diferente a lo que comunmente hago, empeze a jugar con los colores de piel de Robert y Kristen, y tambien con el color de los ojos y guala XD

Are we tired of seeing pictures of the solar eclipse yet? I'm not and 1/2 my feed are pictures of it. Here is a 9 panel through the event with the centre image (enlarged) at the peak which is Halifax was about 95% coverage.
If you look closely you can see some of the sun spots (little black blobs)
As a sidebar. I can still see too

The eclipse of the Sun has traditionally been viewed with dread over the ages, as the great giver of life seems inexplicably to disappear from the sky. Birds prepare for bed; the sky darkens in the middle of the day. It seems as though something dreadful is about to happen.
Our version of the eclipse was a tad disappointing as where I am was probably about 50 kms out of optimum range. The sky got a little darker for about 10 minutes or so and then back to normal.
However, I think the cloud on the right is kind of cool, resembling maybe a giant rat.
We're Here looks at Nature today and I made a somewhat valiant effort at trying to catch the eclipse here in southern Ontario. And no I didn't fly my Lear Jet up to Nova Scotia!
