In silhouette only two days after reaching apogee, the most distant point in its elliptical orbit, the Moon&#8217;s small apparent size helped create an annular solar eclipse. The brief but spectacular annular phase of the eclipse shows a bright solar disk as a ring of fire when viewed along its narrow, northerly shadow track across planet Earth. Cloudy early morning skies along the US east coast held gorgeous views of a partially eclipsed Sun though. Rising together Moon and Sun are captured in a sequence of consecutive frames near maximum eclipse in this digital composite, seen from Quincy Beach south of Boston, Massachusetts. The serendipitous sequence follows the undulating path of a bird in flight joining the Moon in silhouette with the rising Sun. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap210611.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On June 10 a New Moon passed in front of the Sun.
