Today is “just” some photos for you of the Earth-Centered events that have happened over the last week.

## Equinox Sunset

I haven’t had a chance to tell you how fun the West Seattle 2010 Spring Equinox Sunset Viewing at Solstice Park was. Unfortunately, we didn’t see the Sun … remember, this is Seattle. If you schedule a sun-dependent event, it will be cloudy. Anyway, we had 30-40 folks show up, and had a good time anyway. [Greg posted a nice piece](http://www.examiner.com/x-30469-Seattle-Astronomy-Examiner~y2010m3d21-Sun-a-noshow-at-West-Seattle-equinox-party) over at the Seattle Astronomy Examiner about it. (Click pictures to see high-res)
