Annular Solar Eclipse at Peak

The annular solar eclipse of May 20, 2012 reaches its peak in this view from Lassen Volcanic National Park in California. The Moon's distance from Earth varies, and annular solar eclipses occur when the Moon is relatively far from Earth. The Moon appears smaller in the sky and therefore is not able to block the entire Sun. At the peak of this eclipse, the Moon blocked 95 percent of the Sun.
