An annular solar eclipse created a “ring of fire” in the skies over the Americas Saturday, and millions more saw a crescent-shaped partial solar eclipse.
A rare celestial spectacle appeared over the Americas Saturday — the likes of which won’t be seen again in this part of the world until 2046. Millions were within the path of the annular solar eclipse as it created a “ring of fire” in the sky over North, Central and South America. During an annular solar eclipse, the moon is at the farthest point in its orbit from Earth, so it can’t completely block the sun.
Those outside of the path were also treated to a crescent-shaped partial solar eclipse, when it looks like the moon is taking a bite out of the sun. Little crescents were visible on the ground and reflecting off car windshields and skyscraper windows. For those standing by trees, the spaces between the leaves acted as pinholes and the light streaming through those gaps appeared as individual crescents.
