An annular solar eclipse traveled over Indonesia and surrounding regions on Dec. 26, visible in areas stretching from Saudi Arabia to Guam.

The phenomenon is also known as a "ring of fire" eclipse — occurring when the moon doesn't completely cover the sun's disk, meaning that instead of a total blackout, the slightly smaller shadow is surrounded by a bright circle of light when it's centered.
