SPECTACULAR “RING OF FIRE”
ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE IN AUSTRALIA
ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE IN AUSTRALIA
www.washingtonpost.com - Later
yesterday and today over parts of Australia and the Pacific ocean, the
moon passes in front of the sun, leaving behind all but a golden trail
of light. The term for this dramatic alignment of the moon and sun is an
annular or “ring of fire” solar eclipse. The last annular eclipse
occurred May 20, 2012, and was viewable over parts of the western U.S.
This year’s version will not be visible over North America, but will be
broadcast online via the Slooh Space Camera for all to see.
The website Earth Sky provides a detailed location-based timeline of the eclipse evolution. And AccuWeather provides a forecast of sky conditions along the eclipse’s path; it is generally favorable for viewing. Here are some viewing tips for the solar annular eclipse.
Do not look at the eclipse with the naked eye or with a camera or telescope without a solar filter. Doing so could cause irreversible eye damage. NASA warns: the concern over improper viewing of the Sun during an eclipse is for the development of “eclipse blindness” or retinal burns. For safe viewing with your eyes, obtain special solar eclipse sunglasses (ordinary sunglasses will not protect you) or create your own eclipse viewing device. For photographing the eclipse directly, you need a solar filter for your camera. Viewing or photographing the eclipse indirectly - via the ground - is possible without eye protection or filters.
The next solar eclipse viewable in the U.S. will be a partial solar eclipse on October 23, 2014. But just wait until August 21, 2017 when a total solar eclipse traverses the country crossing the U.S. from the Pacific to the Atlantic.

WHAT DO THE VEDIC TEACHINGS TELL US?
After
His separation from Vṛndāvana and the innocent rural cowherd boys,
girls, ladies and others, they all felt shock throughout their lives,
and the separation of Rādhārāṇī, the most beloved cowherd girl, is
beyond expression. Once they met at Kurukṣetra during a solar eclipse,
and the feeling which was expressed by them is heartrending. ...
Krishna, Baladeva and Subhadrā are represented in the famous Jagannātha
temple of Purī, and the temple is still visited by thousands of pilgrims
daily. This temple is in remembrance of the Lord's visit at Kuruksetra
during an occasion of solar eclipse and His subsequent meeting with the
residents of Vrindāvana. The meeting of Rādhā and Krishna during this
occasion is a very pathetic story, and Lord Śrī Caitanya, in the ecstasy
of Rādhārāṇī, always pined for Lord Śrī Krishna at Jagannātha Purī.
