On June 10th of this year, there will be a Annular Solar Eclipse, visible throughout North America. It will range from 99% in Mexico to 10% in southern Canada. Now the interesting thing is that for part of the midwest and Mexico, the eclipse will reach full coverage at sunset. Instead of a ball of sun setting in the west, a partial disk or even (in Mexico) a ring of fire will set. I think this is really cool.

What does this have to do with our beloved Parhelia? Well, probably nothing.
But we do know there must be a sky watcher at Matrox from the name Parhelia, and the rumored June/July release date for the card is rapidly approaching. Call me an optimist, but wouldn't it be cool if Monday the 10th brought gifts from the sky... and from Matrox. 
Note: Don't blame me if you fry your eyes looking at the eclipse without protection. Even 1% of the sun has enough IR intensity to blind you.
