Here are images of the Moon and the Sun taken this morning, September 30, 2024. The Moin is presenting a smaller sized apparent disc than the Sun. Annular eclipse in teo days.
Nice shots. What part of the planet were they taken from and what time? Wondering if I can see it here in south eastern Pennsylvania. My guess is if it's possible to be seen from here the clouds will probably block the view. It seems every time something astrological happens the view is blocked. We can only hope.

The tiniest sliver of partiality may be just barely seen in western Mexico, in southern Baja California Sur state and western Jalisco state, between about 17:00Z and 17:30Z. The only land-based views of annularity will be Easter Island, far southern Chile and Argentina, and a bit of the Falkland Islands.

The October 2nd annular eclipse will have one of the smallest resident audiences within the path of annularity/totality during the past ~30 years.

Definitely not. If an annular solar eclipse were going to be visible where you live... you'd have been hearing about it in the news for the past six months.

P.S.: "astrological" ???

Today is the day of the ring of fire eclipse!
This is a special eclipse. Why? Because it happens during a MicroMoon! In fact, the time of apogee is less than an hour from the time of New Moon. That's rare! What does this mean? Well, let me tell you.
Since MicroMoons appear quite a good bit smaller than the Sun, when they meet for an annular eclipse, they produce a very thick looking ring. It also means that the Moon/Sun size ratio for this eclipse will be very small. In fact, one of the smallest! You'd have to go back to 2010 to find one smaller!
So be sure to catch this eclipse. It just might be the thickest ring you've ever seen for annular solar eclipse!

Guess that means the clouds can dissipate and I might get to use my new scope? lol. Us people who just got new scopes caused the cloudy skies. lol . Just like the year I bought a snow blower we got no snow.

My first processed from Easter Island with thousands to go through. Questar Nikon Z8 image
Look at the difference in size. The Moon/Sun size ratio was extremely small for this eclipse. In fact, one of the smallest possible.

yes it was about 7 min at center line which would have been wet.... but just over 6 min at Easter Island, so being small it was long but it was also quite bright, the sky got somewhat oddly darkened as typical of an annular but less so for this mini-Moon
I also got the comet over Moai- will not post here- but on the comet forum there are images.

This is a somewhat better image we were dodging clouds at annularity but being long there were better moments, clouds were thin even then and the eclipse was visible- but this great deep crescent has a sharper Sunspot. I like the great crescents better than the full annular, always seems more dynamic and dramatic to my eye.
