Yesterday's annular eclipse - story, video, photos

[gary]

AFP/Sydney Morning Herald is running a story about the annular solar eclipse that
was observed yesterday from parts of China, Japan, Taiwan and parts of the
western United States.

Includes one minute video story and some really nice photos (http://www.smh.com.au/photogallery/travel/ring-of-fire-eclipse-wows-crowds-20120521-1z0hw.html?selectedImage=0).

See http://www.smh.com.au/travel/ring-of-fire-eclipse-thrills-crowds-20120521-1z0fr.html

The story reports that at the Griffith Observatory in L.A., they ran out of USD2.99
eclipse glasses two days before the event. So if you don't have your IceInSpace eclipse
glasses ready for the transit of Venus on June 6th 2012, you better order now (http://shop.iceinspace.com.au/). :thumbsup:
