As in the soft and sweet eclipse
|
An annular eclipse is one where the Moon is too small to cover the Sun completely, and leaves a proportion of the Sun showing. Annular eclipses can pass unnoticed because the remaining part of the Sun is so bright the environment is not noticeably dimmed.

I went with Robin Scagell to Melvich where we manage to see it from about 5
minutes after annularity onwards. We were not unhappy.
