Today’s Annular Solar Eclipse path was when through the top of South Africa, Gabon towards wise Tanzania to the Island of Madagascar to reunion island in where Slooh, the Public observatory in collaboration with Astronomers of sorts of backgrounds in providing the live coverage feed over the course from first to fourth contact where this time a silvery fiery ring was in using different provided solar filters of hydrogen and Lyra Filters in combination to see the course of the Annular solar Eclipse….started between 06:13 UTC to which the maximum point taken at 09:01 UTC in which the Annularity lasted only for least three minutes until moving onwards to third to fourth contact.. One Provide collaboration was “Weathernews Japan” in which they was based in Reunion Island in providing that feed... Least it’s not the Death Star from Star Wars that’s orbiting around Earth… ?
