Eclipses

Total, annular, lunar — every shadow crossing for the next decade.

Shadows crossing

An eclipse is the only event that makes people drive across a continent to stand in a 100-mile-wide shadow for four minutes. It's worth every mile.

The kinds

total solar    the moon fully covers the sun
annular        a "ring of fire" — moon too far
lunar          earth's shadow turns the moon red

The next big one
