Eclipse 2012 in Photos: Celestial Event Descends on Western US

Yesterday's solar annular eclipse was the first such eclipse to be visible in the Los Angeles area since 1994. See what the view looked like from Glendora.

Curious sky gazers looked onward as a solar eclipse unfolded on a darkening SoCal sky, Sunday.

The annular eclipse began in the Los Angeles area at 5:25 p.m. The moon moved at snails pace across the sun, covering over half of it in utter darkness. The annular eclipse is named as such, because the moon's apparent diameter is smaller than that of the sun, leaving a ring of firey light to remain, according to National Geographic.com.

Although the Los Angeles area was not in the direct path of the eclipse, onlookers were still treated to a show. The eclipse looked more like a crescent moon when the it reached totality at 6:38 p.m.

The L.A. area will not see another annular eclipse until 2023.

I'm holding out for the return of Halley's comet! When does that darn thing return and will I still be around???

That would be 2061, BK. Think you could wait until then?

Um...probably not :) Maybe I'll just catch the Rose Bowl Fourth of July Fireworks show instead!

Yes, they do need to bulldoze Hobo Junction along with the recycling center to the west of it thatRead More attracts its inhabitants.

You are so right Danlp oh how I wish they would clean that area up. I might be wrong but it appearsRead More to be getting worse. They not only take up all the grass area but are now starting to sit out in front of Wells Fargo. Come on Glendora.....

That's what I've been wondering????? Typical Glendora withholding information. Sounded like a methRead More lab blowing up. I heard it was on vista Bonita and some type of " chemical fire".

I called the non-emergency # for the Glendora Police Dept. and the operator told me 'they' knewRead More nothing about the explosion. Then I told her I had 'just read' on Patch that a Glendora Police Officer had told a resident that it probably was an industrial fire cracker, but I 'thought' it was way too massive for that. The operator had 'nothing' more to say.

The local government has chosen to adopt the Sgt. Schultz syndrome that is used by all those in TheRead More District of Corruption, in Washington. Why not? It is working for them, they are getting away with everything they try.

Dance Street West has great teachers who have the great ability to combine serious dance instructionRead More with lots of fun! My girls and their friends love it!

Well, good luck with that Donald, I've been sending emails to the City Manager ( Mr. Jeffries) for 2Read More years about that stretch of road and all that's been done is the filling of two small potholes. The road condition is an embarrassment to all in the city.

I agree with you Danlp, it is a mess on Grand Ave. from Bennett to Sierra Madre. The road had soRead More many pot holes its hard to travel and its a main street wich is just making it worse. Wish they would do something about it Grand Ave.We pay taxes , and my car would appreciate it alot save on matience on my tires and balance.
B.K. Holthaus May 31, 2013 at 10:44 pm
Amen to you both. I have seen several streets in Glendora that could use repair. I was recentlyRead More driving in cities with much fewer resources and and smaller budgets than Glendora wondering why their roads are better than ours. Maybe we need to start with Grand and go from there....
