 | | Losing the ring phase of an annular eclipse is not nearly as bad as missing a totality, actually: Especially with a ring as thick as the one just now eluding us, it´s just a specially shaped partiality. |
 | | With annularity missed, it was time to head for La Casona, but there was actually no need to rush: The construction site was just a few kilometers away from the dormitory, and it would take the Sun another half hour to finally outrun the lower edge of the cloud bank. |
 | | On June 10, 2002 an annular eclipse will be visible (weather permitting, of course) precisely at sunset from the West Coast of the Mexican mainland - and, it being the Saros successor of the famous near-total U.S. eclipse of 1984, the ring will be extremely narrow. |
