We stood in our backyard in Albuquerque near mid-day. We used a pin-hole projector to view it on paper. I think several friends were with us. Mer doesn’t remember this one.
On March 7, 1970, my family lived in Alexandria, Virginia (Alison St). I remember how remarkable it felt to experience the transition from day to night in a few minutes.
Kudos to NASA for the data and to MiddleEarth condensing that data.
Annular Solar Eclipse May 2012. MiddleEarth.info
On May 10, 1994 an annular eclipse went diagonally across the United States from Tucson, New Mexico to Maine. On February 26, 1979 a total eclipse covered the North Western United States border with Canada. On May 30, 1984 an annular eclipse went from New Orleans, Louisiana to Washington, DC. On March 7, 1970 a total eclipse crossed North Florida and went up the Eastern United States seaboard. If you have seen one, this was probably it.
