Annular eclipse in Pacific 1/16/2009

Here is a beautiful photo of an annular eclipse. It's not as spectacular as a total solar eclipse but it is still eerie (the Moon is too far away so a bright ring surrounds the Moon). We in the US won't be able to see this eclipse but we will "see it" by watching videos and seeing photos. Here is a really nice annular photo.
