Apparently it's a small area. And Florida always gets left out of Solar eclipses. :sneaky:
QuoteThat's what's known as an annular eclipse, which gets its name from the Latin word for "little ring": annulus. The little ring can be seen from a 200-mile-wide strip of territory, extending from southern China, through Japan, across the North Pacific and over to the U.S. West Coast. From the Oregon-California border, the strip goes across parts of Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.

Florida!? This is one chintzy eclipse if you ask me! :tounge: :tounge: :tounge:
That leaves out the entire West Coast, most of the upper Midwest, all the southern states east of Texas, all of New England, the entire East Coast (yes, including Florida)... and of course Ohio, "The Heart of it All." :mad:
We'll takes pics and post them.
It really was a neat eclipse, I took some pics and ST will post a couple later, not that you can really see anything.
But the one interesting aspect of this event, was the effect it had on the Eastern skyline in the forest, it looked exactly like you had on Polaroid sunglasses on steroids, it really was a beautiful light.
