Total solar eclipses are rare events, even more than the regular ones. In these eclipses the moon fully covers the sun rather than only partly. Australia is the lucky place this week for it was able to witness a total solar eclipse as pictured above. The corona is visible in the picture which is known as the wedding ring, it appears only after the sun is fully enveloped and it is said to be truly amazing. This is the only time that you can look up at the sun and avoid permanent damage to your retinas. It is easy to see solar flares when it is in this state and even normal people can become astronomers.
