Summary edit

Description
English: On 14 October 2023 an annular solar eclipse passed over South, Central and North America. This spectacular image was captured at ESO’s La Silla Observatory on the outskirts of the Chilean Atacama Desert, where a partial eclipse was seen. In totality, an annular eclipse sees the Moon, near its furthest point from Earth, passing in front of the Sun but not fully covering it, creating a “ring of fire” around its edge.
