Annular solar eclipse, 10 May 1994
Annular solar eclipse. Composite image showing the progress of the annular solar eclipse of 10 May 1994 in seven stages. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, blocking the suns light. An annular eclipse is when the Earth is relatively close to the sun (near perihelion) and the moon is relatively far from the Earth (near apogee). The disc of the moon then appears smaller than that of the sun, so a ring (or annulus) of the suns surface remains visible. When the Earth is further from the sun and closer to the moon, the same alignment will result in a total solar eclipse

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of an annular solar eclipse that occurred on 10 May 1994. Composed of seven stages, this composite image showcases the gradual progression of this celestial phenomenon. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon perfectly aligns between the Earth and the sun, momentarily blocking its radiant light. However, what makes this particular event unique is its annular nature. During an annular eclipse, our planet finds itself in close proximity to the sun while the moon remains relatively distant from Earth. This positioning results in a visually stunning spectacle where the moon's disc appears smaller than that of our star, leaving behind a luminous ring known as an annulus. As we gaze upon this photograph, we witness how a portion of the sun's surface remains visible through this ethereal halo. It is important to note that such cosmic alignments are not frequent occurrences but rather rare phenomena to behold. The intricate dance between these celestial bodies creates awe-inspiring moments like these for those who appreciate science and astronomy. This remarkable time-lapse image serves as a testament to both human curiosity and scientific exploration, reminding us of our place within the vast cosmos and igniting wonder about what lies beyond our earthly realm.
