This coming Monday, an annular solar eclipse will occur. But you can only see it if you travel to the Indian Ocean. An annular eclipse happens when the Moon does not completely cover the Sun's surface, resulting in a ring-like crown of solar light. There will only be one of these amazing events this year. The next annular eclipse won't be until January 15, 2010.
Wow! This sounds really interesting to watch, but unfortunately I'm not traveling to the Indian Ocean any time soon. I hope one will eventually occur near New Jersey.
