Annular Eclipse
The moon passes between the earth and the sun to cause an annular solar eclipse as seen from central Spain October 3, 2005. An annular eclipse differs from a total eclipse in that the moon appears too small to completely cover the sun. As a result, the moon is surrounded by an intensely brilliant ring or annulus formed by the outer perimeter of the sun's disk. The last annular eclipse visible from Spain took place on the 1st of April 1764 and the next one will occur on the 26th of January 2028. [REUTERS/Victor Fraile]

Nice picture :)
Thank you. It was a toss up between this picture & one of the eclipse being reflected onto a girl's tongue. I thought this was more illustrative of this type of eclipse.
That's a neat picture!
Nice looking picture, it beautifuly shows the sun's corona in a not too bright way. Nicely done :).
That is very, incredibly cool!
