Annular eclipse
01
Кольцевая затмение
a type of solar eclipse where the moon, passing between the earth and the sun, appears smaller than the sun, creating a ring of sunlight around the darkened moon
Пример
An annular eclipse differs from a total solar eclipse because the Moon's apparent size does not completely cover the Sun, leaving a visible ring of sunlight.
People travel to specific locations along the eclipse path to experience and photograph the unique spectacle of an annular eclipse.
The path of an annular eclipse can be narrower than that of a total eclipse, and the duration of the ring phase varies depending on the relative distances between the Earth, Moon, and Sun.
Astronomers use special filters or equipment to safely observe an annular eclipse, as looking directly at the Sun can cause eye damage.
