Total Solar Eclipse 2009. Photo credit: Sunil Malhotra<\/p><\/div>\n

Today’s image is dedicated to Bob Rood<\/a>, my favorite astronomer and father of my closest friend. There are many things I could tell the world about Bob—about the entire Snell-Rood clan—but selfishly, I’d like to keep my thoughts and feelings to myself right now. Instead, I link you to his narrative of the trip we took to Varanasi<\/a> to view the total solar eclipse in 2009. I think you’ll be able to tell from his story and photos why that week meant so much to me.<\/p>\n
