GAT: annular eclipse

An annular eclipse is a solar eclipse that occurs when the moon is at or near it's furthest point from the Earth in it's orbit around the Earth.

When the moon is at it's closest to us, it appears large enough so that it can completely cover the sun, and we can get a total eclipse. When the moon is farther away, it can appear smaller than the sun, and so we can get an eclipse where the moon is surrounded by a ring (annulus) of sunlight.
