Annular Solar Eclipse

2012.05.20
pixel
It was about 6:25 in the morning. The sun was low in the east.
Using a light reduction filter (1/100,000), I could see the black spot of the sun.

Many clouds were passing by.

I didn't have to use filter because of many clouds.

Everybody around me cried, "Wow" !!

I used the filter again to protect my eyes.

On May 21 (2012), we enjoyed the annular solar eclipse in Tokyo.
This was the first time to see the perfect eclipse. It was really exciting!

I hear we will be able to see this phenomenon again in 2312, just 300 years later !! It's a little too faraway for me ...
