This might be slightly lazy blogging on my part, but I really think I need to direct everyone here, to the Beeb’s collection of pictures of yesterdays eclipse over north America. It’s not just because they’re interesting scientifically, but because most of them are absolutely stunning. I just took a casual look, and my jaw immediately hit the floor: the sun, half covered by the moon, yet framed behind the statue of Liberty, must surely be one of the most beautiful, incredible photographs I’ve ever seen.
