In addition it seems, you have pixel-resizeed it - so the white lines in the first two photos are distorted. The dot in your third photo is a lens flare. Would be helpfull if you could post the original size. Most probably it's a heavy overexposure - the sensors get "knocked unconscious" by to much light and don't send any more data. The result is 00 00 00 = Black. What I can say for sure: your photos (if taken recently) are not photos of a solar eclipse. The term "Ring of Fire" used for an annular solar eclipse has nothing to do with the "Pacific Ring of Fire". It's just a coincidence, that the path of the annular solar eclipse in May passes over parts of the Pacific Ring of Fire. At an annular solar eclipse the Moon is too far away from Earth and thus to small to cover the sun completely. When you are on the central line of the path at the maximum eclips the Moon is centered on the Sun, surrounded by a very bright ring of the Sun - the "Ring of Fire". When the sun is high in the sky at totality, this ring is difficult to see without proper solar filter - the ring is so bright, that it outshines the Moon in the center. How it looks: [link to p-m-a.org] Photos taken of the annular solar eclipse 15 Jan 2010, Rameswaram, India Safe filters for the observation of the eclipse: * Solarfilters as they are used for telescopes or solar eclipse goggles * Welding filter glass shade 12 to 14 relatively safe filters: * Two or three layers of fully exposed and developed silver-bearing black-and-white negative film Unsafe filters: * Smoked Glass * Fully exposed and developed color negativ film * Non-silver-bearing black-and-white negative film * Unexposed and developed color slide film * CDs * Floppy disks These materials block the visible light but let pass a dangerous amount of ultraviolet and/or infrared light. The CD e.g. don't block UV-light, the floppy blocks only a part of the IR-light. Since the image of the Sun is very dark, the iris of your eye is wide open and even more UV and IR radiation will hit. Within a short time your eyes will be damaged non-reversible.

Wouldn't that be a full eclipse if the ring of fire is visible...not a partial one? Also, I am on the East Coast so, apparently, we are not going to get to see this. It's almost worth going to visit my sister in Texas for that event! |

Wouldn't that be a full eclipse if the ring of fire is visible...not a partial one? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14154818 There are three types of solar eclipse: total, annular and partial. Actually the annular eclipse is a partial eclipse - but because it is something special it has it's own name. The total and annular can be seen only along the approx. 200km wide central path as total / annular. Outside of this path it is visible only as a partial eclipse. At a partial eclipse the central path don't hit the earth. There is one more, very rare eclipse - the hybrid eclipse: Because both the orbits of Eart and Moon are a little elliptical, the distance between Earth and Moon changes a little. Thus at certain points on the surface of the Earth it appears as a total eclipse, whereas at other points it appears as annular. The next hybrid eclipse will be November 3, 2013 and the following on April 20, 2023. Also, I am on the East Coast so, apparently, we are not going to get to see this. It's almost worth going to visit my sister in Texas for that event! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14154818 It's worth it. Have a look at the map: [link to eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov] The closer to the red line the better. The more you are away from the red line the more is the Ring of Fire off center. . :ase26122019: Annular Solar Eclipse - December 26, 2019 - Kannur, Kerala, India |

In addition it seems, you have pixel-resizeed it - so the white lines in the first two photos are distorted. The photos that I took were from the other day. I took one more and did nothing with it. As it looks it looks the same on my phone. It might not be a solar eclipse but it could be ufos blocking out the light around the sun. Since I have it in negative. What els do you think it is help a big brother out? lol The dot in your third photo is a lens flare. Yeah I thought that too Would be helpfull if you could post the original size done now other people should do the same or use floppy disk filters on cameras and phones compair the the images together the april 28th one looks like it has more light or blacked out spots then april 29th and the circle is moving to the right. ill keep on taking pics I hope other people will too and post them on here lets debunk this if we can. I hate mis/dis info. Pysop war is a crime in itself but lets not go there just yet lol. ------------------------------------------------------------ april 29th resolution 1280x960 from phone to 15 inch as well [link to imageshack.us] april 28th resolution 1280x960 from phone to 15 inch instead of 17 inch [link to imageshack.us] ------------------------------------------------------------ Most probably it's a heavy overexposure - the sensors get "knocked unconscious" by to much light and don't send any more data.

It is definitely caused by overexposure. BTW: You forgot to mention that you converted your photos into a negativ - thus you converted a black, overexposed ring around the sun into a white "Ring of Fire". Intention or accident? . :ase26122019: Annular Solar Eclipse - December 26, 2019 - Kannur, Kerala, India |
