Solar eclipse

SOLAR ECLIPSE: On Monday, Jan. 26th, the Moon will pass in front of the sun

producing an annular "ring of fire" eclipse. This is not a total eclipse;

the Moon will cover only 93% of the sun's surface. Nevertheless, the Moon's

dead-center transit across the solar disk will produce a sight of rare

beauty for observers along the "path of annularity." Best views are to be

had from islands in Indonesia where the ring of fire will appear to sink

into the ocean at sunset. Meanwhile, in Australia, southeast Asia,

southern parts of India and South Africa, observers will experience an

off-center partial eclipse. Crescent-shaped sunbeams will dapple the ground

while high overhead the Moon takes a curved bite out of the sun.
