What you’ll see
An annular solar eclipse happens when the Moon crosses the Sun while near the far point of its orbit — too small in the sky to cover the Sun completely, so a brilliant “ring of fire” remains around the Moon’s silhouette. Because the Sun is never fully covered, certified eclipse glasses are required for the entire event.
The Moon Explorer app computes this eclipse’s circumstances for your exact location — local times, the local obscuration — entirely offline, and can remind you the day before and on the day.
