Midnight sun eclipse


We were in the path of today's total solar eclipse but only partially. This is a picture I got with my camera of the reflection in water in my frying pan in our yard, and the cloud cover provided just enough filtering. You can see the small moon bite out of the left side of the sun. The full eclipse is available from NASA at their Exploratorium site and I just watched it live - they also had cloud cover that cleared just in time there in Mongolia. It was wonderful.

I'll catch up on postings now, with a few more to follow shortly. Sorry for the delay - more travel to blame, happily!
