 Annular Solar Eclipse of 2021

   Summary Author:  Caitlin Pointer

   Shown above is a photo from last year's annular solar eclipse on June
   10, 2021, as viewed at sunrise from the  Southern Tier of New York.
   I got up earlier than usual on this morning to have the chance to
   photograph this sunrise solar eclipse. In the  Binghamton, New York
   area, we often have cloudy skies, but luckily on this morning the
   clouds behaved just long enough to catch the sunrise. This eclipse
   photo was taken from the upper parking lot at Binghamton University.

   Unlike a total eclipse, an  annular eclipse occurs when the Moon’s
   disk does not completely cover the Sun. This incompletely coverage is
   due to the  Moon being farther away in its orbit that its size is
   smaller than the  Sun’s disk in the sky. As a result, the annular
   event looks like a dark disk on top of a larger, bright disk. On this
   day from this area in New York State, we missed out on the  "ring of
   fire", but we were still able to see the sun rise above the horizon
   looking more like a  waxing crescent moon.
