“Ring of Fire over Easter Island” is copyrighted by Yuri Beletsky. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe second solar eclipse of 2024 began in the Pacific, with the Moon's shadow sweeping west to east. An annular eclipse, also known as a 'ring of fire,' was visible along a narrow path, mostly over the ocean. This dramatic phase made landfall near the southern tip of South America and grazed Easter Island. The image captures this celestial event over Easter Island.
