Marlin's First Eclipse!

Maybe you've heard about the Solar Eclipse that just happened?  Well, we were lucky to be right down the middle of the viewing path of the Annular Solar Eclipse.  Not to be confused with annual, this kind of eclipse doesn't happen that often and is referred to as annular, because the sun appears as a ring, as the new moon, which appears smaller, aligns with the sun.
