Crescent Sunset 24
nick_davison writes "According to those ever helpful folks at NASA, next Monday's (10th) sunset should be a "crescent". Depending on where you live, as much as 80% of the sun should be obscured by the moon, leaving just a glowing cresent shape. If you are lucky enough to be in the middle of the Pacific ocean at the time, the moon will pass dead-center. Though too small to cause a full eclipse, the annular eclipse should create a "ring of fire" as the sun shines around it."

And yes, I KNOW I'm being stupid. But it'd be nice if someone could show me just why.

Be very careful if you ever do this. The retina in your eye doesn't have proper nerve endings, so it's quite possible for your eye to be wasting away without it immediately hurting. You may not notice all the damage until much too late.

And It Makes A Fiery Ring
Bound By Wild Desire
I Fell Into A Ring Of Fire
CHORUS:
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher
And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher
And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire
The Taste Of Love Is Sweet
When Hearts Like Ours Meet
I Fell For You Like A Child
Oh, But The Fire Went Wild
CHORUS
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher
And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire

OT - Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash (Score:1)
This song has got to have some sort of record for most diverse group of bands to cover it - I've heard the Johhny Cash, Social Distortion, Wall of Voodoo, and Frank Zappa versions, and this page [wiw.org] lists several more.
