For anyone reading this blog Summer Vacation is just over a month old, but seriously this summer has had a stellar beginning.
For CSU Chico students Sp'12 ended in the middle of May. So logically the solar system gave any and all star watchers the rare Ring Of Fire! Otherwise known as an "Annular Eclispe"
The ring of Fire as seen from the Sundial Bridge at Turtle Bay in Redding, CA.
This pic was taken with a digital camera covered by an extra pair of eclipse glasses.
On June 5th there was the extremely rare Transit of Venus. Here in the U.S. the Transit started around 3:09 PM and was still in progress as the sun set.
