A Ring of Fire Sunrise Solar Eclipse
Explanation: What's rising above the horizon behind those clouds? It's the Sun. Most sunrises don't look
like this, though, because most sunrises don't include the Moon. In the early morning of 2013 May 10, however, from
Western Australia, the Moon was between the Earth and the rising
Sun. At times, it would be hard for the
uninformed to understand what was happening. In an
annular eclipse, the Moon is too far from the
Earth to block the entire Sun, and at most leaves a
ring of fire where sunlight pours out around every edge of the Moon. The
featured time-lapse video also recorded the eclipse through the high refraction of the
Earth's atmosphere just above the horizon, making the
unusual rising Sun and Moon appear also
flattened. As the video continues, the Sun continues to rise, while the
Sun and Moon begin to separate. The
next annular solar eclipse will occur in less than three weeks. On Saturday, October 14, a
ring of fire will be visible through clear skies from a thin swath crossing both
North and South America.
