Amazing reflection of eclipse

Jose De Dios from Atlanta utilizes specialized glasses to enjoy the solar eclipse Saturday at Lake Wright Patman Dam. (Note the reflection of the eclipse on his glasses.)“On October 14, 2023, an annular solar eclipse crossed North, Central, and South America creating a path of annularity. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth while at its farthest point from Earth. Because the Moon is farther away from Earth, it does not completely block the Sun. This will create a “ring of fire” effect in the sky for those standing in the path of annularity. On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North and Central America creating a path of totality. During a total solar eclipse, the Moon completely blocks the Sun while it passes between the Sun and Earth. The sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk and those standing in the path of totality may see the Sun’s outer atmosphere (the corona) if weather permits.” NASA Cass County will be in a prime position to experience the total Solar eclipse in 2024.
