Cincinnati astronomer Dean Regas chased the Saturday, Oct. 14, solar eclipse to Roswell, New Mexico. There, he joined the Roswell Astronomy Club and hundreds of visitors to view the annularity – where the moon fits inside the sun, creating a "ring of fire."

Regas had this to say about the experience: “It was so incredible to watch the sky turn shades darker, shadows become wavy and the temperature drop as the eclipse progressed. And then, for 4 minutes, experiencing the moon nestled inside the sun’s disc was mesmerizing. And the crowd in Roswell went wild! And then it was over – too soon.”
