This past Sunday, May 20, 2012, the earth was treated to a rare sight - an annular solar eclipse, meaning the sun is visible as a ring when the moon passes in front of it. Eclipses like this are rare and only happen when the moon's orbit is at its furthest point from the earth and closer to the sun.
Here are some photos from that cosmically cool event.
