In other words an Annular Eclipse is similar to a Total Solar Eclipse wherein the Moon moves directly between the Earth and the Sun. But, unlike during a Total Solar Eclipse, the Moon does not completely obscure the Sun. During an Annular Eclipse, the Moon is farther away from the Earth, making it appear smaller. Therefore, the Moon only covers most of the solar disk, hence, leaving a “ring of fire” around the outer edge. During totality it is very exciting to watch the annular solar eclipse because the ring of fire it resembles is similar to that of the lord of the rings that is bursting with flame. Again it will be visible from Madagascar and locations in Central Africa. The Moon's shadow will also cross parts of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. For most viewers in Africa, the eclipse will be a partial solar eclipse but in Madagascar it should be total. The eclipse will begin at 06:13 UTC on September 1, 2016. The maximum point will take place at 09:01 UTC, and the annularity will last for 3 minutes and 6 seconds which is pretty cool right? and simply because whenever you look or gazed on it, it's like there a key hole or portal in the the sky that takes you somewhere else across the universe:-) It is definitely not another so called apocalyptic event to watch for nor something about planet Proxima b and alien signals detected whatsoever. So, whether you are just planning to go on a safari in the great plains of Africa or simply enjoying Madagascar, always remember that an Annular Solar Eclipse is going to happen and Africa is in the spotlight after all this is Africa! :-)
