Annular solar eclipse

What happens

The Moon passes between Earth and the Sun and covers part or all of the solar disc. What you see depends on where you stand — the deepest phase falls along a narrow track.

How to watch

• Never look at the Sun without eclipse glasses or a certified solar filter. Sunglasses and exposed film are not safe.
• A pinhole projector shows the partial phases safely on a sheet of paper.
• Cameras, binoculars and telescopes need the filter over the front, never at the eyepiece.
