After the annular eclipse, part 2
Michael Bakich
Here are some further thoughts about the annular eclipse of May 20, 2012, which I viewed with a group of some 20 friends (if you haven't, read part 1 first ). 5) The eclipse itself was a spectacle. Granted, it was not a total eclipse, but there was majesty nonetheless. I've observed several annular...

After the annular eclipse, part 1
Michael Bakich
Here are some of my thoughts after Sunday's celestial spectacle: 1) The location was fantastic. We set up in a public park on grass as lush as I have ever seen. The feel of that turf, plus the fact that solar radiation wasn't baking us from below, as it would have if we'd set up on asphalt, made the...

The day before annularity
Michael Bakich
Yesterday was the day before the Moon crosses directly in front of the Sun. Unfortunately, our lone natural satellite lies too far from Earth to totally block it's light. The result? An annular eclipse , at whose peak a ring of the Sun's disk still surrounds the Moon. After overnighting in Tucson, Arizona...

Annular eclipse: T minus 9 days
Michael Bakich
On Sunday, May 20, observers along a narrow line throughout the western United States will be able to see the Sun, the Moon, and Earth line up. Unfortunately, the Moon will be near its farthest point from Earth, so it won’t totally cover the Sun’s disk. At mideclipse, a ring of sunlight still...

Falling Stars: The World Cup, Moai, and an eclipse …
Mike Reynolds
I captured this image of the partial phase of the total solar eclipse less than a minute before second contact. Mike Reynolds photo To me, it was a surreal scene for the July 11 total solar eclipse on Easter Island, my 17th total solar eclipse. Although many would think this is a large number, I know...

On the Road: Easter Island touring
Michael Bakich
Tuesday, July 13, was an unusual winter day on Easter Island — it didn’t rain on us. Because the weather was favorable, we got to see some sites we missed the first day we were here. First was the volcanic crater at the southwestern edge of the island. Our busses dropped us off at its foot, intending...

Why? Because the day before, our eclipse expedition group on Easter Island saw this year’s total solar eclipse...

On the Road: 2010 eclipse trip — Arica, Chile
Michael Bakich
Our trip to stand under the Sun on Easter Island continues essentially without a hitch. Thursday, we drove through Chile’s Atacama Desert. What a fantastic experience! The contrast of the lifeless desert and a deep-blue sky was amazing. Today from our hotel in Arica, we take a city tour, which includes...

I have temporary Internet access, so I thought I’d post a note.

I think our access will be fine from now on. Fabulous trip so...

On the road: Editor witnesses spectacular solar eclipse from Kenya

They told us we would be up early for the eclipse, with first contact beginning a short time after seven in the morning. But some of us had had no sleep for more than two days, and unfortunately it took a major effort to get me up — your editor almost caused one of the buses to be late setting off for...

Kenya Annular Eclipse 2010 trip, Thursday
David Eicher
Oh, it feels good to be in Kenya. As I mentioned in a previous blog, several of us bound for the Astronomy annular eclipse 2010 trip had our journeys truncated due to bad weather in London, and got off to a late start. Thus, instead of leaving on Saturday, January 9, we flew from Chicago to London on...
