Solar Imager Shows Moon Pass in Front of Sun During Annular Eclipse

Stunning imagery released by the NOAA shows the moon passing in front of the sun on Wednesday, October 2, treating parts of the western hemisphere to an annular solar eclipse.

The imagery was from the NOAA’s Solar Ultraviolet Imager, the agency said.

The eclipse was visible in Argentina and Chile, NASA said, and partially visible in several other parts of the Pacific and the Americas. Credit: CSU/CIRA & NOAA via Storyful
