The Riverton Office of the National Weather Service has posted a video of Saturday's partial solar eclipse.
You can see the video below.
Saturday's eclipse was annular. NASA describes an annular eclipse this way:
An annular solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, but when it is at or near its farthest point from Earth...
A fuel leak and then an engine problem have forced NASA to scrub the launch of its new moon rocket on a no-crew test flight. The next launch attempt will not take place until Friday at the earliest.
If you are into stargazing and/or looking at the moon, this is awesome news. You can view the International Space Station with the naked eye from right here in Casper.
If you love taking a blanket, laying on your back and looking at the Stars, Wyoming is one of the best states because of the lack of "light pollution" and for the next month is going to be even better.
According to the National Weather Service, for southeast Wyoming residents, ''Total eclipse begins at 511 AM MDT. Greatest eclipse is at 519 AM MDT. Total eclipse ends at 526 AM MDT."
