Have you seen the Annular Solar Eclipse this afternoon?  I tried my best to capture it using my Nikon Coolpix P80 and a welder’s helmet… The sun looks like Pacman

According to Wikipedia,

A Solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth so that the Sun is fully or partially covered. This can only happen during a new moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction as seen from the Earth. At least two and up to five solar eclipses can occur each year on Earth, with between zero and two of them being total eclipses. Total solar eclipses are nevertheless rare at any location because during each eclipse totality exists only along a narrow corridor in the relatively tiny area of the Moon’s umbra.
