	Eclipse - Bailey's Beads - Crystalinks
		A total eclipse is seen from places on the Earth's surface that lie along the path of the eclipse and are physically closer to the Moon, and so intersect the Moon's umbra; other locations, further from the Moon, fall in the Moon's antumbra and the eclipse is annular.
		Total and annular eclipses both occur when the Moon lines up with the Sun exactly, but since the Moon's orbit is not perfectly circular it is sometimes farther away from Earth and doesn't always cover the entire solar disc from an Earthly vantage point.
		A solar eclipse of 16 June 763 BC mentioned in an Assyrian text is important for the Chronology of the Ancient Orient.

	Annular Solar Eclipse of 2003 May 31
		An annular eclipse (Latin "annulus") is one where the Moon is too small to cover the Sun completely, and leaves a proportion of the Sun showing.
		Annular eclipses can pass unnoticed because the remaining part of the Sun is so bright the environment is not noticeably dimmed.
		Annular eclipses occur with a slightly higher frequency than total solar eclipses, and are quite rare in small islands such as Britain.

	Hermit Eclipse: Annular Solar Eclipse: October 3 2005
		An annular solar eclipse occurs on Monday, 3 October, 2005, in Spain, Portugal, Africa, and the Indian Ocean.
		The annular eclipse starts in the Atlantic at 08:41:00 UT, and ends in the Indian Ocean at 12:22:36 UT. The maximum eclipse is at 10:31:43 UT, when the annular phase will last just over 4½ minutes.
		The annular eclipse begins in the Atlantic at 08:44 UT. It reaches Spain and Portugal at about 08:53 UT; the path at this time is just over 190km wide, and the eclipse lasts for around 4 minutes 8 seconds.

	Solar eclipse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The magnitude of an eclipse is the ratio of the apparent size of the Moon to the apparent size of the Sun during an eclipse.
		During a central eclipse, the Moon's umbra (or antumbra, in the case of an annular eclipse) moves rapidly from west to east across the Earth.
		A solar eclipse of 15 June 763 BC mentioned in an Assyrian text is important for the Chronology of the Ancient Orient.

	Eclipse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An eclipse (Greek verb: ekleipô, "to vanish", though it derives from the prefix 'ex-', "away from", and Greek 'leipein', "to leave") is an astronomical event that occurs when one celestial object moves into the shadow of another.
		Annular eclipse, which are a total eclipse of luminary where a thin ring of light is visible around the intervening object.
		The ratio between the apparent sizes of the eclipsing body and that of the luminary is called the magnitude of the eclipse.

	Annular Solar Eclipse
		Partial solar eclipses take place when the orbits of the sun and moon intersect but only part of the sun is covered by the moon.
		Annular eclipses occur when the moon and sun align exactly, but the moon does not completely cover the full disk of the sun because its apparent size is not as large as the apparent size of the sun.
		During these times, total solar eclipses can occur, and the duration of totality can last as much as 7 minutes, such as during the July 11, 1991 total solar eclipse.

	Annular solar eclipse visible in South America 22 September 2006
		The annular eclipse, as it is known, casts a dark shadow, but is less spectacular than a total solar eclipse because the sky does not go completely fl.
		Despite the relative lack of drama, even annular eclipses are regarded as mystical and attract tourists by the busload and boatload to favorable viewing sites.
		But if the Moon eclipses the Sun on the far side of its orbit, the satellite will not completely obscure the star's disc - and a ring or annulus of sunlight is seen.

	SPACE.com -- Spacewatch Friday: Viewer's Guide: Strange Solar Eclipse on May 31
		The closer one is positioned to the region of visibility of the annular eclipse, the larger the eclipse.
		This is in stark contrast to most other total or annular eclipses, whose tracks usually begin at sunrise and take a course in a general easterly direction, ending a few hours later at sunset.
		During any direct observation of the eclipse, your eye or must be protected by dense filters from the intense light and heat of the focused solar rays.

	CNN.com - Solar eclipse to set over eastern U.S. - December 19, 2001
		Solar eclipse to set over eastern U.S. Dennis di Cicco captured this 1973 annular eclipse over Costa Rica in an image sequence that he combined with an earlier photo of the landscape.
		Weather permitting, eclipse watchers in Costa Rica and a sliver of Nicaragua will catch a glimpse of the annular solar eclipse, in which the sun appears as a bright ring of light around the silhouette of the moon.
		The annular eclipse shadow will become visible from the Pacific near the international date line in the morning; appear to race 8,000 miles (12,800 kilometers) in less than four hours; and disappear from the sight of viewers in the Caribbean at sunset.

	SkyEye - Eclipses
		An annular solar eclipse is similar to a total eclipse except that the new Moon is near apogee and its disc appears slightly smaller than that of the Sun.
		The partial eclipse may be seen from most of Africa, all of Europe and the Middle East, and western and central Asia.
		The annular eclipse will be visible from Guyana, Surinam, French Guiana and a small portion of Brazil as well as much of the southern Atlantic Ocean The partial eclipse can be seen over a much wider area, including the eastern parts of South America and the western parts of Africa.

	ANNULAR ECLIPSE
		But since the Moon moves in an elliptical orbit, not a circular one, there are times when an eclipse happens, and the moon is so far away that it doesn’t present a big enough disc to cover the whole surface of the sun.
		Annular Eclipses are quite rare – there won’t be another one in these islands for another 80 years or so.
		It’s always a big gamble – Eclipse watching is always completely at the mercy of the weather, and in this case our chances of a clear sky were not rated above 30 per cent by the local weather men.
