Greetings Card : Partial phase of an annular solar eclipse, 10 / 5 / 94
Cards from Science Photo Library
Partial phase of an annular solar eclipse, 10 / 5 / 94
Partial phase of the annular eclipse which occurred on May 10th 1994. The image was taken at 15:40 Universal Time (UT) when the Moon was obscuring 3.6% of the Suns disc. Annular eclipses occur when the Moon is near the farthest extent of its orbit around the Earth. As it appears smaller in the sky, it does not fully cover the solar disc during the eclipse, and a ring-shaped portion (annulus) of the Sun remains visible. When the Moon is nearer, it may completely obscure the Sun, causing a total eclipse. On average a third of all solar eclipses are annular. First in a series of eight pictures

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of a partial phase during an annular solar eclipse on May 10th, 1994. Taken at precisely 15:40 Universal Time (UT), this image showcases the Moon obscuring a mere 3.6% of the Sun's disc. Annular eclipses occur when the Moon is positioned near its farthest point from Earth in its orbit. Due to this distance, it appears smaller in the sky and fails to completely cover the solar disc during an eclipse, resulting in a breathtaking ring-shaped portion known as an annulus that remains visible. Unlike total eclipses where the Moon fully obscures our star, annular eclipses offer a unique spectacle with their distinctive ring-like appearance. On average, approximately one-third of all solar eclipses fall into this category. Part of a series of eight pictures, this particular print by Science Photo Library provides viewers with an awe-inspiring glimpse into the wonders of our universe. With elements such as sun, science, astronomy, cosmology, and solar eclipse intertwined within this photograph's narrative, it serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with celestial phenomena.
