Eclipse Chaser
|
Dave and his wife, Lorraine, have gone to the far corners of the Earth to observe 11 total eclipses and an annular eclipse. An annular eclipse occurs when the moon covers the sun but leaves a ring of sunlight because the moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the suns. Luckily for Nevada County, on May 20th Nevada County will be in the path for an annular eclipse. Dave will also talk about the upcoming Venus Transit, June 5th. |
