This one was different from most solar eclipses that capture public attention when they occur. Since it was annular, it didn’t produce the awe-inspiring darkness that most people associate with these events. An annular depends on a very unique set of circumstances. First, the Moon has to align precisely with the Sun, just as in a total solar eclipse. In one of those, the Moon appears to blot out the Sun completely because it’s just the right distance away from Earth.
