Solar Eclipse Over Chicago

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun, causing the Sun to look like an annulus (ring), blocking most of the Sun's light. The ring of fire was only visible through the lower southwestern states, here in we only could see half of the eclipse, just before sunset.... http://www.jamielinkphotography.com
