Special thanks to Richard Monda for sharing his photos of the “Ring of Fire” solar eclipse that occurred near dawn on Thursday, June 10. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between earth and the sun, thereby partly obscuring the image of the sun for a viewer on earth.<\/p>\n

Monda, an instructor in the Biology, Chemistry and Physics Department, is the creator of “Eyes On The Sky” a video preview of what will be happening in the night sky for the coming month that is published periodically in the Campus Chronicle.<\/p>\n

Monda writes<\/strong>:
\nThe sky near the horizon was cloudy and hazy for the partial solar eclipse this morning and the focus of the sun was affected by these conditions<\/em>. As the sun rose, it was positioned in a clearer sky and the focus is sharper<\/em>.<\/p>\n

All photos were taken at the George Landis Arboretum in Esperance, NY using a solar filter<\/em>. The Schoharie Valley was under dense fog<\/em>. Fortunately, there was enough altitude at the Arboretum to be above the fog<\/em>. Technical details of photos can be supplied upon request<\/em>.<\/p>\n
