	Antumbra
		An antumbra marks the path of annularity in an annular eclipse.
		In an annular eclipse, the moon is not of sufficient size to completely cover the sun, and so its shadow is not long enough to reach the Earth and result in a total solar eclipse.
		At maximum eclipse, the moon is surrounded by a ring, or annulus, of light, and the location on Earth where the ring can be seen is also the location of the "negative shadow", or antumbra.

		The effect is to throw an "antumbra" or "negative shadow" on the Earth's surface as the Moon moves across the face of the Sun.
		It is the track of this antumbra that is referred to as the path of annularity.
		This particular annular eclipse is slightly unusual because the antumbra has a very high, northern track across the planet, and the northern edge of the negative shadow actually misses our planet.

		Bisecting the Iberian Peninsula, the antumbra engulfs Madrid (08:56 UT) which lies near the central line.
		After briefly skirting northern Chad, the antumbra sweeps across central Sudan where greatest eclipse occurs at 10:31:42 UT. The annular duration is 4m 31s, and the Sun is 71° above the desolate desert landscape.
		Southernmost Somalia is the antumbra's final landfall (11:30 UT) before heading east across the Indian Ocean where the path ends at local sunset (12:22 UT).

		In fact, the northern edge of the antumbra actually misses our planet so that one path limit is defined by the day/night terminator rather by the shadow's upper edge.
		The antumbra quickly extends northward as it travels on a northwestern trajectory.
		Crossing the ill-named land mass, the path width rapidly shrinks as the grazing antumbra begins its return to space.

	Eclipse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An annular eclipse is a total eclipse of luminary where a thin ring of light is visible around the intervening object.
		For solar eclipses, the viewer is in the antumbra part of the Moon's shadow.
		It is sheer coincidence that the Moon and Sun have nearly equal apparent sizes, making annular eclipses possible.

		The antumbra or negative shadow of the Moon -from where the annular phase of eclipse is visible - will strike the Earth at a very oblique angle.
		As a result of this extraordinary geometry, the antumbra appears to graze the Earth's surface resulting in a broad, semicircular region that will experience the "ring of fire" effect.
		Also, because of this unusual circumstance, instead of moving in a typical west-to-east fashion, as is the case with most solar eclipses, the shadow's movement will actually run in reverse -from east to west.

		The length of annularity reaches its maximum duration of 3 minutes 37 seconds, the Sun's altitude is 3¡, and the antumbra's velocity is 1.06 km/s.
		After traversing the Denmark Strait, the highly elliptical antumbra bisects Greenland where over a third of the enormous island lies within the track (Figure 1.4).

		Theoretically, these situations are described as the observer being in any of three kinds of Moon's shadow, the "umbra", the "antumbra", or the "penumbra", three Latin words meaning "shadow", "anti-shadow", and "near shadow".
		The situations, on the other hand, may be taken at the reverse, by considering the observer in abstract no more, but the position of the Moon instead, relative to the observer, located on the Earth this time.
		Due to the respective motions of the Moon and the Earth, an eclipse, of whatever sort, is moving.

		The sky does not go completely fl; a ring or annulus of sunlight is still visible.
		From start to finish, the antumbra's sweep across the planet lasted just 47 minutes.
		Those viewing outside the favoured zone were treated to a partial eclipse, in which the Moon just took a bite out of the side of the Sun's disc.

	"Amateur Astronomy". Moon Eclipses
		In the same way that the Sun, during Sun eclipses, is generating three different kinds of shadows through the Moon, it does so through the Earth.
		Trailing on the other side of the Earth are found an "umbra", an "antumbra", and a "penumbra" (from three Latin words meaning "shadow", opposed to the umbra", and "near umbra").
		Due to the configuration of the Earth-Moon system, the "umbra" and the "penumbra" only are involved in a Moon eclipse, as it would need the Moon to be located about 4 times farther from the Earth to see the Earth at a smaller apparent diameter than the Sun

		The shadow axis passes to the far north where it barely grazes Earth's surface.
		In fact, the northern edge of the antumbra actually misses Earth so that one path limit is defined by the day/night terminator rather than by the shadow's upper edge.
		As a result the track of annularity has a peculiar "D" shape that is nearly 1200 kilometers wide.

		As a consequence, the path of the antumbra is quite narrow and the duration is short.
		Entering the Northern Territory, the antumbra passes 400 kilometres north of Alice Springs at 08:00 UT. The Sun's altitude will then be 39° as the path width (48 kilometres) and central duration (51 seconds) gradually increase.
		This occurs because the curvature of Earth brings these regions further from the Moon and deeper into the antumbral shadow.

		The extremely narrow path of totality (45 seconds in duration at maximum eclipse) never touches land, though it comes damn close to various islands.
		By the time the central eclipse shadow reaches Central America, it’ll be an “antumbra” instead of an “umbra” (meaning the eclipse is annular).
		The annular “ring” of sunlight around the Moon will be extremely narrow; it should be a cool sight to see.
