Both WRGB CBS News 6 and WTEN ABC News 10 included photographs taken by Richard Monda, an HVCC assistant professor of astronomy and physics, during evening broadcasts on Saturday, Oct. 14.
Monda had shared a sequence of images taken of the annular solar eclipse as it passed through Albuquerque, NM, before noon that day. Viewers of an annular solar eclipse, also known as a “Ring of Fire” eclipse, see the moon silhouetted against the sun with a ring (or “annulus”) of sunlight surrounding the moon.
