In essence, this is really nothing more than a fancy partial eclipse. It will produce a "penny atop a nickel" effect, with the Sun mimicking a blazing ring of light at maximum effect. Most observers will simply see a partial eclipse, in which it appears a bite has been taken out of the Sun. For the rest of the article: *here*
