Annular solar eclipse. Time-exposure image of an annular solar eclipse seen at 15 minute intervals behind a silhouetted cactus. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow. If the Moon is far enough away from the Earth in its orbit there is an annular eclipse. The disc of the Moon does not completely cover the Sun,so a ring (annulus) of the Sun's surface is still visible. Photographed in Arizona,USA,on 10 May 1994 | |
