    I'd like a copy of the eclipse photo for the wall behind me. NOVA did an interesting episode on the eclipse this afternoon. I caught most of it and look forward to seeing it from the beginning. There was a similar photo on the show and it reminded me of this photo, so I had to come back for another look.

    The parts about the sun's corona were just as mesmerizing and informative. Seeing the "diamond ring" and knowing it had a name was worth standing still for. I learned this was the first time an eclipse spanned the USA from coast to coast in 100 years. I'm almost convinced to hang around for the 2014 event. :) Thanks!
