This Morning's Solar Eclipse in Australia

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (WUSA9) -- A dramatic ring of fire appeared in the Australian sky this morning. This was an annular eclipse. It happens when the moon blocks most of the sun's light from our view. 

Elizabeth Warner is a Faculty Research Assistant at the University of Maryland Observatory. She says, "The moon in its orbit is sometimes closer and sometimes further away from the Earth. This time, the moon was further away, and looked smaller than the sun. And it didn't completely block the sun's disk".
