Who is the Sun in the sky swallowed?

In the morning of 26 December, there was an annular solar Eclipse — the Moon hid the Sun, but not completely, and leaving visible a bright ring of fire: maximum phase it is eclipsed only 97% of the Sun.

Maximum phase of the Eclipse lasted 3 minutes 40 seconds, it was observed in Singapore, South India, parts of Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. With our country almost Eclipse was not visible, but we can admire the photographs of this beautiful phenomenon.

This the rising Sun made hunter eclipses Elias Chasiotis from the port town of al Wakrah (Qatar) in the Persian Gulf. According to him, despite the heavy cloud, the rising Crescent Sun was an unforgettable sight.

Inferior Mirage added uniqueness to this phenomenon. It can be seen in the large vertical temperature difference over a superheated flat surface. It is often alleged image of the sky leads to the fact that on the surface appears an illusion of water: for example, a puddle on the road on a hot day.

Another photo was made by the Pandian Balamurugan in Singapore, noting that the clouds appeared in the sky in very handy — otherwise it would be too light to be good to observe the phenomenon.
