It’s the ideal celestial gift. From some parts of the world, the sun will be partially eclipsed by the moon and then, for a few precious minutes, a “ring of fire” will appear in the daytime sky on December 26. It’s a special kind of “annular” solar eclipse that, unlike 2017’s “Great American Eclipse,” won’t block out the sun. What is an annular solar eclipse?
Called everything from a “ring of fire” to a “ring of light," an annular solar eclipse occurs when the moon is relatively small in the sky. The moon has a slightly elliptical orbit around Earth, so it can appear larger or smaller in the sky depending on its position. When it’s close, it causes a supermoon. When it’s far away, and it crosses the ecliptic (the path of the sun through our sky) as a new moon, it fits precisely within the sun’s disk. This Christmas, the moon will cover 97% of the center of the sun.
