May 20 Ring of Fire Eclipse

Liberty's Edge

I, for one, am heading out to catch today's annual solar eclipse. I got fogged in for the last one visible in my area some 20 years ago or more. Getting in the car, driving an hour or so for a full ring, and taking precautions with my eyes. Might even get out on the golf course to play during it for a merging of interests and a strongly reinforced memory.

Enjoy nature's display of goodness!

Well, this didn't seem to strike any chords for anyone, but I enjoyed it tremendously. I played a round of golf during the eclipse, ending just as max coverage ended. Someone had a solar telescope set up (glorified pinhole camera). The light quality and shadows definitely were odd. Light coming through trees cast odd crescent shadows and light patterns. The sunlight itself had a reddish cast. It was somewhat similar to being under the haze from a distant wildfire.


I sadly did not hear of it until I'd seen your post, and thus was already too late.

It looked really cool. We were on the edge of the eclipse and it was right near sunset, but a good wielding mask allowed to see a large chunk of the corner of the sun missing.

I did not see any darkening of the sky that was noticeable really.

I looked to the sky at the proper time, but I couldn't really tell if the monochrome veil of clouds over the greater Seattle area got significantly dimmer during that time.
