Rare 'Ring of Fire' eclipse expected to cross Southern Hemisphere - UPI.com
UPI reports: "The sky above parts of Earth's Southern Hemisphere will be illuminated
Sunday in a 'ring of fire' during the first solar eclipse of 2017, NASA
said.
The annular eclipse will be mainly visible near parts of the Southern
Hemisphere, including Chile, Argentina and Angola. Unlike a total solar
eclipse, an annular eclipse happens when the moon is too far from the
Earth to obscure the sun completely, leaving the sun's edges exposed
[...] On Aug. 21, a total solar eclipse is expected to cross the United States as the first in the contiguous U.S. in 40 years."
