These shirts share a design recalling the Chinese eclipse myth of a dragon
eating the sun. The
black shirt on the left (worn by Yuna Kuwahara) was made for the Costa Classica
cruise organised
by Roy and Bonnie Mayhugh. The other (worn by Donald Kay) was made by
Griffith Observatory
in Los Angeles

David Bevan of Sydney, Australia, thought he had missed the 2009 eclipse in
China because of
bad weather. But a hole opened in the clouds at totality, and he saw the
eclipse while standing in
the rain. He said the rain gave the eclipse a greenish colour
