Gallery | Solar Eclipse May 20 2012 | Ring of Fire

While we were doing the live webcast of the eclipse, Lee Skelton sent us two phenomenal pictures taken from his hotel room while he was staying in Tokyo - Japan had an excellent view of the complete annular eclipse. This first picture was during the maximum part of the eclipse, and even through the clouds you can see the "Ring of Fire"; the incompletely-blocked surface of the Sun by the Moon.
