    Annular Eclipse of the Sun on Sunday May 19th 5:16-7:40pm PEAK AT 6:33pm

    The moon will be crossing the face of the sun this Sunday between 5:30-7:30pm.

    See https://spaceweather.com/ for more details

    and this cool animation https://shadowandsubstance.com/201205/Californiab.swf

    We are just barely South of the central path of the eclipse so the sun will be 90% eclipsed.

    Annular Eclipse: The Ring of Fire
    Credit & Copyright: Dennis L. Mammana(TWAN)

    Explanation: Tomorrow, a few lucky people may see a "ring of fire." That's a name for the central view of an annular eclipse of the Sun by the Moon. At the peak of this eclipse, the middle of the Sun will appear to be missing and the dark Moon will appear to be surrounded by the bright Sun. This will only be visible, however, from a path that crosses the southern Indian Ocean. From more populated locations, southern Africa and parts of Australia, most of the Moon will only appear to take a bite out the Sun. Remember to never look directly at the Sun even during an eclipse. An annular eclipse occurs instead of a total eclipse when the Moon is on the far part of its elliptical orbit around the Earth. Pictured above, a spectacular annular eclipse was photographed behind palm trees on 1992 January.

    This is a nice animation of the eclipse in reno which is 100% : https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/in/usa/reno

    In San Francisco where it is 90% it looks like this: https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/.../san-francisco

    This includes a table of when the moon first appears to touch the sun at 5:16pm, its totality at 6:33pm and when it last appears to touch the sun at 7:40.

    If you are feeling overwhelmed by the energies, headache, fatigue, emotional, etc. try placing your attention on the bottom of your feet and simultaneously breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth for a few minutes until you feel the overwhelm integrate.

    Enjoy!
