Solar eclipse

Year of the Female Earth Cow! starts on Jan 26 with an annular eclipse of the sun which looks like a 'ring of fire'. However, in KL only a partial eclipse is visible. Eclipse starts at sunset 5.32pm. So probably the weather at late afternoon would be darker than usual and even weird. Caution: Dont look at the sun.

Some photos of the annular eclipse taken at different locations.

This 3 shots taken in USA.
