Jan 15th, 2010 annular solar eclipse, photo by Dan Birchall<\/figcaption><\/figure>A reminder that this afternoon we will have the opportunity<\/a> to see a partial solar eclipse. For viewers further south, in Australia and across the South Pacific<\/a>, this will be an annular eclipse. For viewers here in the Hawaiian islands this will be a deep partial solar eclipse, with well over 40% of the Sun obscured by the Moon. This is enough to produce a noticeable drop in the Sun’s brightness at mid-day.<\/p>\n

Please exercise caution when viewing the Sun!<\/a><\/strong> Use appropriate eye protection or indirect observing techniques to project an image of the Sun. The link at the start of this paragraph leads to a great discussion on viewing the Sun safely. As always the single best source on the web (or anywhere) for eclipse and transit information is Fred Espenak’s eclipse website at NASA<\/a>. Stop by whenever you have a question on upcoming events as well as viewing<\/a> and photography tips<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During a deep partial such as this one check out the shadows under nearby vegetation. Small gaps in leaves can act like pinhole cameras projecting small crescent images of the Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
