A solar eclipse is when the moon blocks a little, a lot or all of the sun as seen from the Earth. An annular solar eclipse happens when the moon covers the sun’s center, leaving the sun’s visible outer edges to form a “ring of fire” or annulus around the moon.
Annular eclipse in Moline:
- Begins at 10:32 a.m.
- Maximum at 11:54 a.m.
- Ends at 1:20 p.m.
