"Unprecedented Solar Eclipse Captured in Mesmerizing 'Ring of Fire' Photo"
Scientists have captured the first radio telescope images of an annular solar eclipse's "ring of fire" effect, despite being outside the eclipse's central path. The Owens Valley Radio Observatory in California was able to image an 80.5% partial solar eclipse and detect the sun's corona, thanks to its sensitivity to radio frequencies. This provided a unique opportunity to study the sun's extended corona, which is normally only visible during a total eclipse. The next solar eclipse visible from North America will be a total one on April 8, 2024.
