Huffington Post: Moon's Shadow During Solar Eclipse Spotted On Earth's Surface

A NASA Earth-observing satellite has captured the moon's shadow darkening a patch of the Pacific Ocean during Thursday's stunning "ring of fire" solar eclipse.

Bright white clouds fade into darkness northeast of Australia in the solar eclipse image, which was taken by NASA's Terra spacecraft at 7:30 p.m. EDT (2330 GMT) Thursday (May 9), space agency officials said.

The first solar eclipse of 2013 turned the sun into a dazzling ring of fire Friday (May 10) for observers in northern Australia, eastern Papua New Guinea and other parts of the Pacific. Because this region is on the other side of the International Dateline, it was Thursday (May 9) in the U.S. during the eclipse. The moon passed directly in front of our star but didn't block it out completely, leaving a bright ring of light around the edges.

Such events are also called annular solar eclipses, from the Latin "annulus," which means "little ring." It was the second solar eclipse in less than six months for northern Australia, which was treated to a total eclipse in November.

The shadow path from which the "ring of fire" could be seen Thursday was long but slender, measuring no more than 107 miles (172 kilometers) across at its widest point. But a larger chunk of the planet — including the rest of Australia, most of New Zealand and many islands throughout the Pacific — witnessed a partial eclipse.

In fact, observers with good weather in Hawaii could see the moon reach almost halfway across the sun's disk. The eclipse was not visible from any other U.S. state.

NASA's Terra satellite has been observing Earth for more than a decade. The spacecraft, which launched in December 1999, uses five sensors to study the planet's climate and map the impact of human activity on ecosystems around the globe.

Huffington Post: RGIII Wedding Registry: Rebecca Liddicoat And Robert Griffin Want Flatware, Extra Firm Pillows From Bed Bath & Beyond

Posted: 11 May 2013 08:20 AM PDT

Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III and his fiancee Rebecca Liddicoat are reportedly set to marry this summer.

Evidence? A Bed Bath & Beyond gift registry dug up by the Washington Post's Sports Bog that seems to belong to the lucky couple:

On their wish list: Some Calphalon cookware (nice but not budget-busting), some $10 bath towels (but so many of them that they won't have to do laundry all the time), some $40 pictures frames, some fragrant candles. Also, that same Kitchen Aid mixer (in cherry red) that all your friends get for their weddings and then never seem to use. Plus, a lot of little $10 gadgets like a melon baller and a corn peeler. The most exotic thing on their registry: A food dehydrator/jerky maker, for $64.99.

Huffington Post: Stephen Curry Ankle Injury: Golden State Warriors Star Injured In Game 3 Loss (VIDEO)

Posted: 11 May 2013 08:24 AM PDT

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Stephen Curry limped out of the locker room and walked down a long hallway with his sprained left ankle wrapped in black tape and the Golden State Warriors' season possibly in the balance.

If there was one thing proven in Game 3 of Golden State's second-round series against San Antonio, it was that when Curry's jumper isn't falling, the Warriors can look like a rather ordinary team.
