  • Awesome pic of the recent eclipse

    Link

    Because the eclipse wasn't a total eclipse, but an annular one, the moon was slightly smaller than the sun, so from specific positions the sun looked like a true ring of fire.

    had to look up the differences in eclipses to figure out why it's different. wiki


    had to look up penumbra too and found this:

    substitute the earth in the image with the moon and now it makes sense why there's such a big ring around the moon - looks like we were in the "antumbra" section for the eclipse
