Ring of Fire: Get the Camera

All right for those of you who are sky watchers, the annular eclipse also known as the ring-shaped solar eclipse will be occurring on Thursday and Friday (May 9th and 10th).  Be sure to get your camera ready and remember to protect your eyes by not looking directly at the sun.

Here are some past photos of the event.

Groundhog day is not exactly scientific.  In fact it is stated that Phil has been wrong more than right so stick with the meteorologists, but hey it is great fun and people enjoy themselves as it is just an event that is meant to be shared with friends and family.
