In a Sunday, May 20, 2012 photo, Brendon Ladd of La Habra, Calif. leans over as daughter Mary Carson, 5, of Palm Springs, Calif. looks through a telescope during an eclipse viewing event held at The Westin Mission Hills in Rancho Mirage, Calif. The eclipse was visible as a partial eclipse in the Coachella Valley, but in other parts of the country it was visible as an annular eclipse creating a visual ring of fire around the moon. Palm Springs, Calif. astronomer Bob Victor said that for the Coachella Valley, this will be the biggest portion of the sun covered by area until an eclipse in 2044.
