Hi Anne,
For your enjoyment and wonderment:-
You might like to have sight of this fantastic view of the event – photo comes from NASA’s APOD page
http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap150331.html
– look for the rare “Bailey’s Beads” around the Sun’s circumference. These are akin to stunning brilliant blue and/or white sparkling diamonds with eye-blinding light. Celestial magic!
Laurence
Thanks Laurence
Beautiful moody depiction of a once in a lifetime event.
Thanks, Anne.
