The upcoming annular solar eclipse, visible primarily over Easter Island and parts of Argentina and Chile, will feature a ring-shaped outline of the sun.
"The moon is just not quite big enough to cover the sun," said Carolyn Sumners at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, explaining the uniqueness of annular eclipses.
It's essential to use ISO 12312-2 certified solar eclipse glasses to safely observe the eclipse and prevent potential eye damage.
If eclipse glasses are unavailable, homemade pinhole projectors and observing shadows cast by trees offer safe alternatives to enjoy the eclipse.
