[Utah-astronomy] Solar Ecilipse Visable From St. George, Utah?

It's an annular solar eclipse, which means it is ``total'' in the sense that the Moon will cover the sun, but the Moon-Earth distance is such that the moon will appear smaller than the Sun and the moon will have a solar ``ring'' around it. Plan to have some eclipse glasses. The path crosses I-15 north of Saint George at Kanarraville, Utah. See Google Map at url: http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEgoogle/SEgoogle2001/SE2012May20Agoogle.html You can see the eclipse from St. George, but the Moon will be off-center. To see the perfect annular form, you need to drive north and be right on the center-like of the shadow's path. It is a once in a lifetime event (locally), so it is worth driving north. - Kurt
