"Rare 'Ring of Fire' Solar Eclipse: Watch, Feel, and Capture the Spectacle"
TL;DR
A rare annular solar eclipse, also known as a "ring of fire" eclipse, was visible across the Americas on Saturday, drawing huge crowds of eclipse watchers to various locations. Unlike a total solar eclipse, the moon does not completely cover the sun during an annular eclipse, leaving a bright, blazing border. The event brought excitement and concerns about weather and visitor influx to small towns along its path. Next year, a total solar eclipse will cross the U.S. in the opposite direction, while the next ring of fire eclipse will occur in October 2022 in South America.
