On December 26, photographers and residents of places form Saudi Arabia to Guam scrambled to take pictures of the final solar eclipse to grace the Earth this decade.
Unlike in some eclipses, you’ll notice that the moon didn’t totally black out the sun. Instead, it covered the majority of the sun, leaving a visible “ring.” This type of event is called a “ring of fire,” or annular, eclipse.
The NOAA provided more information about the moon’s path on the 26th.
Images of the eclipse are stunning, especially against the backdrop of beautiful landscapes such as these sand dunes.
