As the resident astronomer here, I feel obligated to post about Saturday morning's annular eclipse. "Annular" means the shape is an annulus, or ring. That's so because the moon is in an elliptical orbit, and it's angular size is smaller than that of the moon. A much more spectacular total solar eclipse path crosses the U.S. next April.
The path is about 100 miles wide, extending from the Oregon coast through Texas's Gulf Coast, passing as close to us as Four Corners. If you're in metro Phoenix, first contact occurs a bit after 8 a.m., and mid-eclipse is at 9:30 a.m. The sun will be mostly covered, as I show in my illustration. During that time, the terrain will be lit like that of an overcast day, but the sliver of sun will make everything have higher contrast, with light passing through leaves on trees creating crescents on the ground. MOST IMPORTANT POINT: don't look at the sun, even without binoculars, much less with them. Stores like Target and Walmart are selling perfectly safe "eclipse glasses" for not much money. Alternatively, poke a hole in some cardboard, and project the sun's image on a white sheet.
If all goes well, I'll be in Mexican Hat, UT, along the centerline.
