You may have missed the moment of the summer solstice, which brushed the Bay Area at 7:57 a.m. Wednesday morning. It did not go unnoticed.
Thousands gathered at Stonehenge, about 85 miles south of London, to observe the moment of the rising solstice sun. The site is aligned to the sunset of the winter solstice and the opposing sunrise of the summer solstice. No one really knows what the original aligners were up to, as they left no written record of their civilization. But boy, could they haul stones.
An annular isn't as earth-shattering as it is eye-shattering if you don't use eye protection. You just can't look at it with the naked eye. Still, projected onto paper or seen with a solar filter on his scope orI tried to see the annular eclipse in 1992, which brushed San Diego at sunset. Thinking I was clever, I sailed to Catalina, which theoretically should have had a moment or two more of annularity before the whole show sank in the west.
