archatlas:Sunset Ring of FirePhotographer Dan McGlaun shot these incredible images of a Annular Eclipse, viewed from Big Spring State Park in western Texas.An annular solar eclipse happens when the Moon covers the Sun’s center, leaving the Sun’s visible outer edges to form a “ring of fire” or annulus around the Moon. In an annular eclipse of the Sun, the Moon casts its antumbra - the outer part of the Moon’s umbra - on the Earth. Like total solar eclipses, annular solar eclipses can be seen as partial eclipses from locations inside its penumbra, but outside it’s antumbra.Images via text via -- source link
