"Solar Eclipse of the Ring"

Once upon a time I was falling in love
Now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A solar eclipse of the ring

Cooool. I wonder what, if any, equipment changes are needed to get a good picture of the sun...

I expected a thread about their geometry, as explained in this book: http://www.msri.org/people/staff/de/ready.pdf

^
that's almost relevant to my interests (in that it is an advanced mathematical text)

but it's algebra, and I fucking hate/suck at algebra

a pox upon rings, fields, and ideals

So who's watching?

I'll just wait for pics on the internet.

This wednesday morning will be a special lunar eclipse... you will be able to simultaneously see the fully eclipsed moon and the rising sun... this is called a "selenelion"... this is possible due to the refraction of the sun/moon's light because of our atmosphere.

so I was about to post something about a certain mathematical text by David Eisenbud

but I found that I already did that
