I wish I was traveling in the western United States this weekend. I can not remember the last time I got to see a solar eclipse. They are spectacular. If you live in or near the path of the elicpse, chek it out. Make sure your read the full NASA article to get all the details.

FANTASTIC SOLAR ECLIPSE: When the sun rose over Europe this morning, a piece of it was missing.  The Moon had covered as much as 86% of the solar disk, producing a partial solar eclipse and a fantastic crescent-shaped sunrise.  The most amazing apparition, however, may have occurred in the Sultanate of Oman, where for a split second the Moon and the International Space Station partially eclipsed the sun at the same time.

 

DOUBLE SOLAR ECLIPSE: Not satisfied with an ordinary blow-your-socks-off partial eclipse,

celebrated photographer Thierry Legault traveled to the Sultanate of Oman to record a rare double eclipse. For a split-second on Jan. 4th the disk of the sun was partially covered by the Moon and the International Space Station. I can not share the awesome pictures here so you will have to goto Thierry Legault's website. Go there now!

 

Enjoy!
