WTF Is It Now?!?

Partial solar eclipse Saturday
From Space.com: A partial eclipse of the Sun surrounded by strange circumstances is on tap for Saturday, May 31 and will be visible in parts of North America, Europe and the Middle East. The event could be quite spectacular at sunrise in Europe, especially in the United Kingdom.

The extreme northern track of the Moon's shadow will likely make this one of the most unusual solar eclipses that will occur in the 21st century. The antumbra or negative shadow of the Moon will strike the Earth at a very oblique angle. As a result of this extraordinary geometry, the antumbra appears to graze the Earth's surface resulting in a broad, semicircular region that will experience the "ring of fire" effect.

Also, because of this unusual circumstance, instead of moving in a typical west-to-east fashion, as is the case with most solar eclipses, the shadow's movement will actually run in reverse - from east to west.
