      Explanation: Tracking along a narrow path, the shadow of a new moon   
      will race across North, Central, and South America, on October 14. When   
      viewed from the shadow path the apparent size of the lunar disk will   
      not quite completely cover the Sun though. Instead, the moon in   
      silhouette will appear during the minutes of totality surrounded by a   
      fiery ring, an annular solar eclipse more dramatically known as a ring   
      of fire eclipse. This striking time lapse sequence from May of 2012   
      illustrates the stages of a ring of fire eclipse. From before eclipse   
      start until sunset, they are seen over the iconic buttes of planet   
      Earth's Monument Valley. Remarkably, the October 14 ring of fire   
      eclipse will also be visible over Monument Valley, beginning after   
      sunrise in the eastern sky.
