Here's what is happening today

Sky gazers and the general public will soon be able to enjoy one of the most fascinating astronomical events there is: a total solar eclipse.

Eclipse of the Sun in North America--The uniqueness of this event lies in the projection of a shadow on the Earth, which occurs thanks to the Moon covering the Sun for a few moments, causing a brief period of darkness during the day. During this period, the Sun’s outer atmosphere, known as the solar corona, becomes visible, showing a slight flare around Earth’s natural satellite.

Areas located in the center of the Moon’s shadow when it hits the Earth will experience a total eclipse. The phenomenon will only be visible within a narrow path on the Earth’s surface. The total solar eclipse can only be seen in North America.

Where i live in Austin, TX happens to be in the path of totality so I will see a full eclipse.  WOW.


Here's my card for the day, hmmm, wish I had some science themed cards to share....I mean, I did work for NASA....
