Annular Solar Eclipse 2020

Solar Eclipse

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking part or all of the Sun’s light as seen from Earth. This phenomenon only happens during the New Moon phase and can only be observed from certain areas on Earth.

An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is too far from the Earth to completely cover the Sun, creating a bright ring of light surrounding the Moon at the maximum phase.
