Note from Promontory (where I just watched ATK test-fire a five-segment motor): the ring of fire is the sun's surface seen around the dark moon. When you're on the centerline, the moon will be right in the middle; if to the edge of the centerline, it will be near the edge of the sun; if outside the centerline, the eclipse will be a partial and not an annular. -- Joe ________________________________ From: Chrismo <djchrismo@gmail.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, September 8, 2011 2:53 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] centerline importance anyway, what did you mean by "Ring of Fire event"?

Erik, I would think that lunar libration would affect the visibility
As would the observer's libation. :)
