Annular Solar Eclipse In 26th December 2019: Time, Where and How To Watch

The third and last solar eclipse of 2019 can be seen on 26th December. The moon will cover the sun at 8:30 am, Thursday and will continue for six hours. In addition to the last solar eclipse, it’s also special because of its nature. It’s a rare annular solar eclipse. However, there are three types of eclipses visible to us,

1. Total solar eclipse
2. Partial solar eclipse
3. Annular solar eclipse

However, there is a major difference between total and annular solar eclipses. For instance, At the time of the total solar eclipse, the moon moves in front of the sun and covers it completely.

But in case of an annular eclipse, the lunar disk is too small to completely cover the sun instead observers see a “ring of fire” or “ring of light” around the Moon. Therefore a thin ring of the sun’s surface surrounds the new moon silhouette. In mathematics, it’s known as Annulus.
