San Diego County was one of the best places in California to experience the event with 55% of the sun obscured by the moon. Another total solar eclipse won't be.
A surfer in Encinitas found the blob-like Pacific footballfish last week. It's the third such creature to wash up in California in the past year, including one reported last month at Black’s Beach.
The four-foot-long lancetfish, although dead was found intact with its long silver body, ridged black fins and piercing blue eyes. It is unclear how it washed up on San Diego s La Jolla Shores.
