Annular Solar Eclipse in USA

Click here for article and maps.


WARNING! DO NOT LOOK AT SUN! ESPECIALLY NOT WITH A CAMERA LENS!


An annular eclipse is not the same as a total eclipse. With a total eclipse, the Moon's disc completely covers the Sun, making it possible to see the solar corona. In an annular eclipse, the Moon will NOT completely cover the Sun, leaving a ring of FULL STRENGTH SUNLIGHT around the Moon. Treat this as you would any other PARTIAL eclipse.
