Annular Eclipse May 20, 2012

Having never seen a solar eclipse before that was more than partial, when I found out an annular eclipse was going to have its center pass within a few hours of my house on May 20, 2012, I decided I shouldn't miss the chance. (An annular eclipse is similar to a full eclipse, except that the moon isn't quite large enough to block out the sun, so you get a ring of sun around the moon instead of complete blockage.)

The first item here is a video I made of some of the still images.

Pay attention to the video quality when viewing this, and you probably want "HD on" if you view full screen. I find Google Chrome or Firefox plays this best (as IE defaults to Quicktime for FullHD, which I can't play full screen in IE).<br /> <br /> This is a video I made of some of the stills of the eclipse. It's a little under 2 minutes. The audio has a large dynamic range and starts soft, so set your volume control appropriately.
