Partial phase of an annular eclipse (10 / May / 1994)
Partial phase of the annular eclipse which occurred on May 10th 1994. The image was taken at 16:30 Universal Time (UT) when the Moon was occulting 47.2% 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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of a partial phase of an annular eclipse that occurred on May 10th, 1994. Taken at precisely 16:30 Universal Time (UT), this image showcases a remarkable celestial event where the Moon was obscuring approximately 47.2% of the Sun's disc. Annular eclipses are unique phenomena that transpire when the Moon is positioned near its farthest point from Earth in its orbit. Due to this distance, the Moon appears smaller in our sky and fails to completely cover the solar disc during an eclipse. Instead, a striking ring-shaped portion known as an annulus remains visible around the darkened silhouette of the Moon. In contrast to total eclipses where complete darkness envelops us momentarily, annular eclipses offer a different spectacle altogether. They present us with a stunning visual display as sunlight filters through and creates an ethereal glow around the edges of the lunar disk. It is fascinating to note that approximately one-third of all solar eclipses fall into this category, making them relatively common cosmic occurrences. This awe-inspiring photograph not only serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with celestial events but also reminds us of our place within this vast universe governed by intricate astronomical dynamics.
