This is a different kind of eclipse. Instead of a solar eclipse, this is an annular eclipse. In this kind, the moon doesn't fully hide the surface of the sun causing a disk-like ring around it. It will move over the Indian Ocean heading toward Indonesia and stopping at Mindanao.

The moon moves betweenthe earth and the sun but doesn't cover all of the sun's surface from the earth. We see sometimes an orange or bllod red ring. It will be seen from North and South America, europe, Africa and Antartica. It will happen Wednesday, October 27 and early morning Wednesday, October 28.
