Salty Air Scenic Slide Shows

The August Chameleon Sun Goes Out As A Ringed Planet – Cooks Brook Slideshow

Cooks Brook
Written by Brian Tarcy

 

EASTHAM – Remember earlier this month when the sun disappeared for two minutes? On Thursday at sunset, the star of our solar system had an entirely new two-minute magic trick, mimicking a ringed planet.

It seems we have a chameleon sun.

It didn’t last long. As cool as this lead photograph is, it really doesn’t do it justice. It was literally a “Wait, what?” moment.

And then in two minutes, it was gone. Does this sound familiar, eclipse watchers?

It was surrounded, before and after, by just another ho-hum spectacular sunset that we were witnessing at Cooks Brook Beach.

The scattering of clouds seemed to promise a great show, and then they delivered.

At the end of the show, we saw a very happy girl playing in the water learning what she will probably discover upon reflection: some sunsets are better than others.
