  • An annular solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, but when it is at or near its farthest point from Earth. Because the Moon is farther away from Earth, it appears smaller than the Sun and does not completely cover the Sun. As a result, the Moon appears as a dark disk on top of a larger, bright disk, creating what looks like a ring around the Moon.
  • The maximum eclipse is expected to occur a 11:58 am.
  • Eclipse prayer is a sunnah and is advisable for all Muslims that are able to attend it.
