金環日食 Eclipse 2012

今日は金環日食の日でした。
連日ニュースやそこかしこで話題になっていたので、今朝はやっぱり気になってちょっと早起きしてベランダから外を見てみました。
といってもちゃんと観測用のグラスを持っていた訳では無いので、一瞬だけチラ見。
後はテレビでじっくり。
ちゃんと見れなかったのは残念だったけど、日食が進むにつれ、あたりが暗くなって来て気温が少し下がったりして、改めて、太陽ってすごいのだなあと思った。
あと一瞬だけ、本当に一瞬だけちらっと見た後、目が少しちかちかして、その「ちかちか」が日食の形とおんなじだったのにはびっくり。

ちゃんと日食が見れなかったのは残念だったけど、その他にも色んな発見のある現象。堪能しました。

Today was the day for total Eclipse.
Since people were talking about this here and there for a past few weeks, I walked up a bit early to see the eclipse from my window.
I was not really prepared for this, so of course I did not have a right glasses to see the sun, I just gave a glance at the sun very quickly, then enjoy the show through TV.
It was a pity that I was unprepared, it was interesting to see the outside getting a bit dark (felt like in the late afternoon) and felt the temperature going down.  It made me respect the power of the sun, really.
Also, after glancing the sun quickly, in my eyes, I saw reflection of the sun as I blink my eyes.  And the shape of the reflection was the shape of eclipse.  It was very interesting discover for me.  

Though I could see the eclipse with my eyes, I enjoyed a lot of interesting phenomenon of the nature caused by Eclipse.
