“A Solar Eclipse with a Beaded Ring of Fire” is copyrighted by Stephen Bedingfield. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis image captures a rare type of solar eclipse, an annular eclipse, where the Moon is too far from Earth to completely block the Sun. Sunlight streams around the Moon's edges, creating a 'ring of fire.' In some moments, an edge of the Moon nearly aligns with a solar prominence or sunspot, creating a beaded ring effect.
