When the moon creates a ring of sunlight during an eclipse instead of completely blocking the solar disk, it's known as an annular eclipse. And although the September 1 event won't be a total eclipse of the sun (from south eastern part of the country), it will still be a stunning sight of partial solar eclipse.
For those interested in watching this eclipse event, the Astronomy and
Astrophysics Research Group of this University is making special viewing
glasses (eclipse glass) available at the Christ Church Chapel field,
UNN, starting by 7.30am (Please, never look directly at the sun with
your unprotected eyes!). Viewers will be able to see the moon cross
paths with the sun on Sept. 1 (Thursday) between 8 – 9 a.m.
