Annular Solar EclipseAnnular Solar Eclipse2020thth May 2012 May 2012
What is an Annular Solar
Eclipse??
In contrast to the total solar eclipse where the moon covers the sun
totally…
The moon does not cover the
sun completely and hence the
eclipse
looks like a ring!
This is due to two factors…
1.The Earth is close to the sun hence the sun will appear bigger.
2.The moon is farther away from the earth thereby appearing smaller.
This 20th MAY 2012 we
will have the Annular Solar Eclipse
Path of the Eclipse
The annularity at the
observation site – Hong
Kong will be
approximately 3 min
30 sec
What do we have in store
for you?
