Australians to View Solar Eclipse on May Tenth

Annular Eclipse







Australians will be able to view a solar eclipse on May 10. This will not be a total eclipse, but an annular eclipse. This type of eclipse shows a ring, as the moon is smaller than the sun and is near the point at which it is furthest away from the earth. Therefore, even though the moon is closer to the Earth than the sun, it will still appear smaller during this eclipse.
