Ruling Ring

Behold!  A composite photograph of yesterday’s annular eclipse, showing all stages of the event.

The reason the light turns amber as the eclipse progresses has nothing to do with the eclipse, and everything to do with the fact that the sun is setting as the event occurs.

In fact, the sun was still in partial eclipse when it set.

We are indebted to Cheryl and Bill Macey, who fed us a lovely dinner on their patio as the event progressed.
