11 Fantastic Photos and Videos of Yesterday’s Annular Eclipse

By ( ) Comments

Yesterday, some folks were treated to an annular eclipse — where the Moon passes between the sun and the Earth, but its apparent size is not enough to actually cover the sun entirely. The result is untold numbers of beautiful pictures of a fiery ring in the sky. We’ve gathered some of the best photos and videos of this astronomical event from around the world. Please see them after the break, won’t you?

    Great images ! It is amazing how the moon being so much smaller than the sun is at the right distance to eclipse the sun. But it will not always be so. The moon is moving away from the earth and the sun is growing. Enjoy it while you can :)
