Summary: Sky watchers in Alaska, parts of Canada, most of Europe and Asia enjoyed a partial eclipse of the Sun on May 31st. In most places the sun appeared to be a crescent, but from parts of Greenland, Iceland and Scotland the moon passed directly in front of the sun. From there the sun became a fiery ring--an annular eclipse. [full story]

	Nick Francis, Durness, Scotland	#1, #2, #3, #4	N. Francis: "At first it seemed that the 300 or so people crowded onto the small beach in Durness were doomed to experience this eclipse through clouds, but we were very lucky. The cheers and atmosphere that occurred when the sun rose up was amazing--something I will never forget."
