FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 25, 2000 -- The Partial Eclipse of December 25, 2000, was successfully observed by AAAA members on the East Coast, where the weather was cold and mostly clear. On the West Coast, the weather cooperated with eclipse observers, even though the percent eclipse was fairly small. Unfortunately, in many parts of the central US and in parts of Canada, weather conditions on Christmas day varied from just cloudy, to rain, snow, and ice.
We have posted on the AAAA Web site some of the observations and photos of the Christmas Eclipse done by AAAA members, including photos by AAAA members from California, Kansas, Massachusetts, and Alabama. We will also be posting more observing reports and photos later in the week, as they become available. If you missed the eclipse, here is your chance to find out first hand what happened. And if you were able to view it, compare your observations with the ones we have posted online.

Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday Season and a Prosperous New Year.

The American Association of Amateur Astronomers has had an active presence in the amateur astronomy community since 1996. As the AAAA continues to grow and expand, it is having a wider and wider influence among amateur astronomers, and continues to refine the use of the internet as a tool to promote amateur astronomy to the widest possible audience. Through the medium of its own web page, an online store devoted to carefully chosen astronomy merchandise, our own quarterly newsletter, reciprocal links with other astronomy web sites, the creative use of online resources such as eGroups, Listbot and banner advertising, affiliate programs such as Amazon.com, and partnerships with well recognized astronomy organizations such as Sky Publishing, Kalmbach Publishing, Bushnell Sports Optics and the Astronomical League, the American Association of Amateur Astronomers has become an important source of astronomy information on the World Wide Web.
