A Special Solar Eclipse Comments

This extraordinary phenomena is beautifully painted and expressed through words. Bailey's beads of light art is truly seen. This poem is excellent poem very nicely penned. I love such penning. Thank you very much for sharing this lovely gem...10

This poem could only have been written by a first-hand witness. Thanks for sharing the excitement and the discovery. The lineup of three great heavenly bodies is a reminder that the moon is our constant companion, and it has a complex but highly regular orientation with regard to the sun. It is interesting to know that your religion has a special prayer time for celestial signs. The word CERISE is very nice and makes me pay close attention to the phenomenon. It spurs me to wonder why the color appears! Thanks for adding the notes. I am amazed by the body of knowledge that tell us three more annular eclipses will occur this decade! An eclipse can be annular or total. This tells me that the moon's distance from the earth can varies slightly, maybe because its orbit is ovoid. However far or near it is, it appears very close to the same size as the sun. This is quite a coincidence, and it tells me that the sun is massive, because it is so far away (four light minutes, I think) , yet it looks as small as the moon. It seems that the moon is a very good distance from the earth. If it were much closer, tides on earth would be disruptive.

A beautiful poem and picture, a sight I would have loved to have seen myself.

Excellent description, and good to acknowledge the Hand of the Creator in the awe and the beauty. My part of the world will have a total eclipse on 21 August 2017. Astronomy is one of my hobbies. Best wishes. R. Eckstein.

it would be... caz we never assume an solar eclipse besides moon. Any way that was grt description, a scientific one, would be more rejoining if applied poetic tools, you have romanced the scene but in black and white, as i said can be better if you did not write but painted. i like it.

Wonder what's spoiling and messing up with my poem to cause repetition! !

The amazing site a solar eclipse creates in the sky. Very nicely described and thanks for sharing.

An excellent description you have penned both in poem, notes then adding this amazing picture. Two heavenly bodies as if joined in a honeymoons loving embrace Simply beautiful.

Amazing poem. Informational and entertaining. Great notes and fabulous picture. Kudos.

A beautiful sight over a beautiful country. I saw a full eclipse in 1979. I had a 1600mm telephoto lens and a filter. I took several rolls of film (black and white) and developed them in my darkroom and sold copies to many people where I worked. They are not a necessarily rare event but they do only cover a narrow swath through a small, specific region of the planet. You lucked out this time around. : -)

wooow...what a great message. Masha Allah really useful message.

Masha Allah.... beautiful and nice written...useful message for all. Thanks for sharing..
