Laura and I went to Herring Cove Park to photograph the Solar Eclipse. This was a mistake since the sun rose over Devils Island and distorted the images. We had planned to go to Chebucto Head and this would have been the smarter move since there is a unobstructed view over the ocean.

This solar eclipse was remarkable since it began exactly at sunrise, likely a solar eclipse that occurs only once in a million years. This is just an estimate folks:)

Laura sat intelligently in the truck with her solar glasses while I fumbled around in the dark with a thousand kids and a Song Sparrow celebrating the morning.

Some sunrise photos on the next post. My website will not allow video and photos on the same post.

A partial solar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s ascending node (new moon) of orbit on Saturday, March 29, 2025,^[1] with a magnitude of 0.9376.^[2] A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A partial solar eclipse occurred in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon's shadow misses the Earth.

The partial eclipse was visible for parts of the northeastern United States, eastern Canada, Greenland, Europe, Northwest Africa, and northwestern Russia.
