Total Eclipse of the Sun

It was a dance with no music this morning but perhaps the 80's ballad "Total Eclipse of the heart" would have be appropriate.

The dance was in the solar system as the moon passed between the earth and the sun forming a total eclipse.  It was not visible from our area but was seen in parts of Canada, northern Greenland, the Arctic, central Russia, Mongolia, and China. The eclipse could then been seen as it moved in a narrow path that ending in northern China’s Silk Road region at sunset there.

The whole event was seen live this morning on Fox 6 Wake Up and you can check it out on line HERE

Cool. While in grade school, I witnessed either a total eclipse or a partial eclipse. I was told that we should never look directly into the sun during this time, otherwise we might go permanently blind.

That was kool to see. I think the last time I saw that, I was back in grade school in the late 70s or eirly 80s. I know it was before high school and I entered high school in fall of 82. We had to eather cut a small hole in a paper plate or see a reflection off of a plate. something like that. If I remember correctly.

FOX 6 Meteorologist =========================
Rob is an AMS Certified Broadcast Meteorologist and also holds the National Weather Association Seal of Approval as well as the Endorsement of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society. =========================
A long, long, time ago in a farmers field far, far away, Rob noticed a change in the wind and became fascinated with the weather. Why you ask? (Pause for you to say "why?") Well, it was at that moment he realized he was downwind of the manure pile on the turkey farm where he grew up! After that he watched the weather very carefully in an effort to save his sense of smell! Okay, that's not entirely true but I did grow up on a turkey farm and I have been fascinated with weather and broadcasting for quite some time. I began my career in radio before making the jump to TV. I worked on Good Morning Toronto. After that, I decided to pursue my dream of living and working in the U.S. and joined Wake Up Rochester in Rochester NY. I spent three years in "Bills Country" before coming to my senses and moving to "Packer-Town!" (GO PACK!) I also spent some time trying to make it big as a comic actor and studied the art of improvisation at Toronto's Second City Theatre with teachers like SCTV's Joe Flaherty! I moved here with my beautiful wife, Tanya, who's the real comedian in the family, my son Noah, who's giving my wife a run for the title of funniest Haswell and my daughter Nyla who is the cutest 2 feet of human being you could ever meet! We're very excited to be living in the great city of Milwaukee and we're looking forward to learning all there is to know about Wisconsin! By the way, where do you buy those cheesehead hats anyway?
