This Sunday morning, when the moon gets between Earth and the sun, enjoy breakfast with an annular solar eclipse. Thanks to perfect celestial mechanics, a total solar eclipse covers the entirety of the sun’s disk. Sunday’s event is an annular eclipse (derived from Latin, the word annular means ring-shaped). The next eclipse in this series will be March 9, 2035 — another annular eclipse. Of course, this annular eclipse is a teasing preview.
