Full Solar Eclipse and New Moon Today!

I'm watching it live in Australia now.  Beautiful beach, just passed the peak.  It's probably seen over Antarctica too.  Finishes about 500 miles west of Chile.  Celebrating celestial events helps me connect with nature.  The cats are both sunning themselves in unlikely spots as if they are soaking up the energy of this planetary experience. 

Here's a post with a beautiful pic. 
Magnificent To Behold
I just got down from the helicopter and we are downloading images now.
From 8000 feet, above the 7000-foot cloud deck, the corona plus the diamond rings were impressive. All too quick but magnificent to behold.
