      Explanation: The second solar eclipse of 2024 began in the Pacific. On   
      October 2nd the Moon's shadow swept from west to east, with an annular   
      eclipse visible along a narrow antumbral shadow path tracking mostly   
      over ocean, crossing land near the southern tip of South America, and   
      ending in the southern Atlantic. The dramatic total annular eclipse   
      phase is known to some as a ring of fire. Still, a partial eclipse of   
      the Sun was experienced over a wide region. Captured at one of its   
      earliest moments, October's eclipsed Sun is seen just above the clouds   
      near sunrise in this snapshot. The partially eclipsed solar disk is   
      close to the maximum eclipse as seen from Mauna Kea Observatory Visitor   
      Center, Island of Hawaii, planet Earth.
