So, You Wanna See a Ring of Fire in LA?

And just when you think it’s about to block the whole shining orb, it leaves a fiery ring around it. Dramatic pause. But alas, for our Angeleno friends, this fiery spectacle was more of a "peek-a-boo, I'm hiding" situation.

While the "Ring of Fire" was a no-show for LA, we did get a pretty decent partial eclipse. It was like getting a VIP seat to a sold-out concert, only to find out you’re in the nosebleed section. Still, 71% ain't bad!
