NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Eclipse Flyby” is copyrighted by Zev Hoover. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

On June 10, a New Moon passed in front of the Sun. Because the Moon was near its farthest point from Earth, its apparent size was smaller, resulting in an annular solar eclipse. This 'ring of fire' was visible along a narrow path across Earth, with partial views seen from other locations.
