Solar Eclipse

SOLAR ECLIPSE: On October 3rd, the moon will glide in front of the sun, producing a solar eclipse visible across Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

The eclipse won't be total, but rather annular: at maximum eclipse, an intense "ring of fire" will encircle the moon. This happens when the moon is a bit too small to completely cover the sun. Visit http://spaceweather.com for visibility maps, safe observing tips and photos of past annular eclipses.

MYSTERY RAINBOW: What does it take to make a rainbow? Two things: raindrops and sunlight. On Sept. 26, however, observers in Belgium saw a rainbow with no sun and no rain.
