Annular Eclipse

Today there was an annular eclipse. You can see the upside down image of the sun between my fingers. Notice the little crescent shapes between my fingers. It was a lot of fun to see it. And if any of you are ignorant like me annular means ring shaped. If we had been in a prime location the moon would have appeared to be in front of the sun and there would have only been a ring of light left.
Also, if you didn't notice, this is a bonus post. I will be gone for several weeks on an Archaeology Field school. I will have only occasional access to the internet (and showers for that matter). It should be interesting, but I might be a little sporadic on here, hopefully not too bad.
