THIS IS WHAT IT'’’LL LOOK LIKE: AMAZING, RIGHT?
ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSES HAPPEN WHEN THE MOON PASSES BETWEEN THE SUN AND THE EARTH, SO THE MOON CASTS A SHADOW ON THE EARTH.
IF YOU'’’RE *IN* THAT SHADOW, YOU'’’LL SEE THE RING OF FIRE, CALLED ANNULARITY.
THE SHADOW WILL PASS THROUGH OREGON, NEVADA, UTAH, NEW MEXICO AND TEXAS.
IF YOU'’’RE IN THE PATH, YOU'’’LL GET ABOUT FIVE MINUTES OF FIRE!
IF YOU'’’RE ELSEWHERE YOU WON'’’T SEE FULL ANNULARITY, BUT CAN SEE THE ECLIPSE!
REMEMBER, NEVER LOOK AT AN ECLIPSE WITHOUT PROTECTION.
ECLIPSE GLASSES ARE AVAILABLE MOST PLACES, BUT IF YOU MAKE A PINHOLE IN AN INDEX CARD AND HOLD IT UP, AND SHINE THE SHADOW OF THE SUN ON ANOTHER CARD!
BINGO ECLIPSED!
ECLIPSES ARE ONE OF NATURE'’’S SPECIAL EFFECTS, SO DON'’’T BE SURPRISED IF YOU'’’RE BOUND BY WILD DESIRE.
KEEP LOOKIN'’’ UP!
