ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE

It’s not a total eclipse, but it’s the next best thing.

On Sunday, Feb. 26th, the Moon will pass in front of the southern hemisphere sun, covering as much as 99% of the solar disk.  Astronomers call this an “annular” solar eclipse. Observers in parts of South America and Africa will be able to witness a magnificent “ring of fire” in the sky as crescent-shaped sunbeams dance on the ground below.
