So, there was an annular solar eclipse.Since I am not in the Maldives, I have to rely on others to take pictures, but I have borrowed this one from Reuters...
That's the sun, not the moon!
Oh, so cool. Except that people seem to have been looking at it through X-ray film and little cardboard glasses, which doesn't strike me as correct procedure. Just FYI, NASA says: "Unsafe filters include color film, some non-silver black and white film, medical x-ray films with images on them, smoked glass, photographic neutral density filters and polarizing filters."
Enough of that! What I really wanted to share with you today is this video of Holly Cole.
My husband does a lot of travelling to conferences and to give talks to physicists far and wide, and he's been to both Vancouver (that's in the big blue province on the west) and Fredericton (in province #3 on the east) this week. So, eventually, I get to singing this song...
