An annular solar eclipse

Annular Solar Eclipse in Progress, Capitol Reef National Park, Utah

October is a month for all things spooky, so in some ways it’s only fitting that earlier this month I got to witness an annular solar eclipse, a celestial event that for a fair amount of it the sun resembles a sickle.

Young Raccoons on Branch, King County, Washington
