Calculated with Astronomy Engine, an open-source library verified against the US Naval Observatory and NASA JPL. How we calculate

In an annular eclipse the Moon is a little too far from the Earth to cover the Sun completely. Inside a narrow path a bright ring of sunlight stays around the Moon, the “ring of fire”; the sky does not get dark. A much larger region sees a partial eclipse.
