Eclipse 2012

The moon is just starting to come across the sun in this picture...





so not in the mood for a picture!!

We saved the "Ring of Fire" for Ry's forehead!  :)


This year, the hot spot for the annular solar eclipse was 20 minutes away from us - what that meant was that in Cedar City we were located at about at the best place on the planet to see the eclipse - so, we headed up Cedar Mountain with our cool space-age glasses so we could look at the sun.  Ryan took his hunting spotting scope that magnifies things 80 times, and we noticed that the eclipse was shining back through the scope onto our foreheads when we looked through it.  Okay, I know no one else cares to see our ecliptic foreheads, but it was a once in a lifetime moment for the Henries.  We had a blast :)  OK, by the way, I know it looks like the moon, but it wasn't!
