Ring of Fire
Solar eclipse blazes a 'ring of fire' this weekend
For the first time in 18 years, millions of people can watch the moon pass in front of the sun, exposing a brilliant scorching halo for up to 4.5 minutes in an annular solar eclipse.
People lucky enough to be in Southeast Asia and the western U.S. this weekend will have the chance to view the first annular solar eclipse of its kind since 1994, according to NASA. Rather than a complete blocking out of the sun, as seen in a total eclipse, a "ring of fire" will radiate from behind the moon as it passes in front of the fiery globe.
The transformation will begin on Sunday as the moon makes its voyage across the sun; at one point, as much as 94 percent of the sun will be covered, according to NASA.
"Hundreds of millions of people will be able to witness the event," NASA Science's Tony Phillips wrote on NASA's Science News Web page. "The eclipse zone stretches from southeast Asia across the Pacific Ocean to western parts of North America
Typically these types of eclipses happen twice a year but usually can only be seen from few places on Earth. Those in Southeast Asia will be able to see the eclipse on Monday, and people in the U.S. states of Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and Texas will be able to start viewing around 5:30 p.m. PT on Sunday. The entire show should last about two hours with the "ring of fire" happening in the U.S. around 6:30 p.m. PT and lasting up to 4.5 minutes in some locations, according to NASA.

Re: Ring of Fire
I'm glad to see that this is about a partial solar eclipse.
Going by the name, I thought it may be a new kind of cock ring.

Re: Ring of Fire
Yes, sky was clear, (Clear sky in Tucson? Who could imagine that?), saw the sun perfectly out my kitchen window (Ha ha, did not need to get dressed). The welding house refused to deliver a welding helmet glass. What were they thinking? Well, now that I am blind, they will be hearlng from my attorney. All that bs aside, guess I will just have to see film of it on tv, and pics elsewhere. Place "Dumb ass" critter here. Thank you.
