In blue is the path of the Umbra on the surface of the Earth (from W to E).
In Red the zone where we would observe a Partial Eclipse.
An Annular Eclipse is like a Total one, but in its lapse the Moon is somewhat farther
from the Earth's orbit, and the cone of its shadow does not reach our planet's surface.
The Sun's Corona is not visible due to the ring of unocculted Sun.
