Hopefully many of you will join me in this To: Complaint Department, Mother Nature From: Utah’s Amateur Astronomers Subject 2012 Annular Eclipse Get with the program Mother Nature. If you had thought ahead you would have set the eclipse in July 2012. That way everyone having to travel could have watched the eclipse and then caught a play at the Utah Shakespearean Festival. That would have been proper planniing. Dear Mother Nature – please check with your children next time.
