For the next hour and a half, it slowly consumes a larger and larger chunk of the Sun. This image of the partially eclipsed Sun looks purplish because of the filter on the telescope.
It was taken using a Calcium-K filter, which sees the Sun in near-ultraviolet light. Second contact occurs when the moon almost completely covers the Sun, in the moments before totality. The last bright flash of the Sun, combined with an emerging view of the corona encircling the moon, produces a spectacular effect called the Diamond Ring. This image was taken with a mm lens in white light. Called prominences , their beautiful hue is the color of glowing hydrogen gas.
The Sun is now completely hidden, revealing the full glory of the solar corona. This is the one time you can safely look at the Sun with your naked eye.
People across the Northern Hemisphere will be able to spot a "ring of fire" in the sky as an annular solar eclipse moves across our planet this Thursday June Solar eclipses happen when the moon moves directly between the sun and Earth, casting a shadow on our planet and blocking out at least some of the sun's light. This Thursday at sunrise, we can look forward to an annular solar eclipse, which occurs when the moon is too far away from Earth in its elliptical orbit to completely block out the sun like it does during a total solar eclipse.
Instead, it leaves the outer ring of the sun exposed, creating the appearance of a "ring of fire" in the sky during the only annular solar eclipse of While the full "ring of fire" will be visible from the northernmost latitudes including the North Pole and parts of Greenland and Canada , most viewers will see only a partial version of the eclipse, which will be visible from parts of North America, Europe and Asia.
A partial eclipse, in which the moon appears to take a bite out of the sun , may not be as impressive as an annular "ring of fire" eclipse.
However, Faherty noted that even a partial eclipse can be incredible to witness. Thursday's partial eclipse will look like "the 'Death Star' is in front of the sun as it's rising," she said, referring to the moon-size space weapon from "Star Wars.

Misses partial phase. The eclipse is not visible at all. Actual eclipse visibility depends on weather conditions and line of sight to the Moon. Lunar eclipses can be visible from everywhere on the night side of the Earth, if the sky is clear. From some places the entire eclipse will be visible, while in other areas the Moon will rise or set during the eclipse. Usually, there are two eclipses in a row, but other times, there are three during the same eclipse season.
