Jay travels the world with his wife, Judy, to watch solar eclipses – an alignment of the Earth, Sun and Moon that has the Earth passing through the Moon’s shadow. Solar (and lunar) eclipses have been a part of mankind’s fascination with the stars from the earliest Babylonian and Chinese records to the present. This talk will discuss the mechanism of eclipses, the visual and emotional impact of eclipses, the adventures that come from chasing eclipses and the expectation for the next North American eclipse in 2017.
