A rare eclipse of the Sun was visible over a wide area of Japan on Monday morning today.An annular eclipse occurs when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are exactly in
line. A bright ring, or annulus, forms around the outline of the Moon.
This is the first annular eclipse since one in Okinawa in 1987, and the first in 173 years to be seen in Tokyo. It is the first in 932 years that it was visible over such a wide area.Observation events were planned across the country.Inputs from NHK
