What is an Annular Solar

Eclipse??

In contrast to the total solar eclipse where the moon covers the sun

totally…

The moon does not cover the

sun completely and hence the

eclipse

looks like a ring!

This is due to two factors…

1.The Earth is close to the sun hence the sun will appear bigger.

2.The moon is farther away from the earth thereby appearing smaller.

This 20th MAY 2012 we

will have the Annular Solar Eclipse

Path of the Eclipse

The annularity at the

observation site – Hong

Kong will be

approximately 3 min

30 sec

What do we have in store
