An annular Solar Eclipse

Explanation:

Solar eclipse is an event that occurs naturally on Earth when the moon in its orbit is positioned between the Earth and the Sun. Solar Eclipse can be total, partial or annular. In the total solar eclipse, the moon completely covers the sun where as in the annular solar eclipse the moon covers the center of the Sun leaving outer edges of the Sun to be visible forming the ring of fire. In partial solar eclipse the Earth moves through the lunar penumbra as the moon moves between Earth and Sun. The moon blocks only some parts of the solar disk. Annular solar eclipse happens during new moon and the moon is at its farthest position from the Earth called Apogee.
