A CRESCENT SUN – was created when the moon moved between the earth and the sun on Saturday Oct. 14. La Conner was not in the path of totality,, so viewers did not witness the complete "ring of fire," visible to those who were, but instead got this sliver of sun at the peak, about 9:20 A.M. The next annular solar eclipse will be in 2046.
